Chinese Lanterns...

Hello me lovelies

Update: I have updated my Slimming blog with Wednesday Weigh-in

In June i had the pleasure to go to the Doncaster Dome for the Stamp Magic show with some lovely friends and my sis, well we had a great day and spent a few pennies too...

It was well needed because i needed to have a little break and a change from every day life things and forget about things that are going on in my life at the moment...don't worry our dieting didn't take a back step because we had taken a Slimming World picnic with us and it was really yummy too :)

I went to the Clarity Stamp stall and bought myself a 6 x 6 Gelli plate {oh what fun!} and some stencils and amongst the stencils i had bought was a pack called "7 x 7 Flower Head" stencil set...i just love each and every one of those stencils so i had to have it Lol
Anyhoo in that pack of stencils there is a stencil called "Chinese Lanterns" which i think is fab so i decided to use it on some white card and then using some shaving brushes i went over it using 2 different coloured ink pads and this is how it turned out...hope you likey :)


Products i have used...
Papers and card...all from stash
Ink...Stampin Up "Pumpkin Pie" and "Real Red" ink pads
Tools...Clarity Stamp "Chinese Lanterns" stencil
Well that's all from me today folks but i will be back soon...

Hello me lovelies...

Hello me lovelies

I am really sorry i have not been around or even done any blogging but i have so much going on in my life at the moment that i simply can not get my head around to blogging or even card making...

Do you remember a few weeks back i said i had some bloods taken...well on the 22nd April i was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and slightly high Cholesterol, since then i have been trying to get my head around things because there is sooo much that i need to learn and change in my life so i had to step back and take some time out for myself and i will need to continue to do so until i get my head around it all!!

 *fingers crossed* i might be back next week after my next appointment with the nurse which is when i will find out what meds i will be going on etc etc

Before i go i just want to say a massive thank you to all who left me such wonderful comments on my recent cards, i really appreciate each and every one of them...i really do and for your friendships too!!
