Paul's Valentines Card

Hi all

I don't know if anyone is reading my blog at the moment as I don't seem do get many comments.  I know I'm not on any design team or anything at the minute but I'd love you to leave me a comment if you do stop by.  Anyway enough of that.

This is the card I made for Paul (Hubby) for Valentines Day.  I used distress inks for the background, then I've used a versa mark ink pad and a black embossing powder on the vine and coloured the leaves in with a black spectrum noir pen.  I've also done the same embossing powder on the flowers cut them out and coloured them in using spectrum noir pens.  I also used the same black powder for the message.  I love getting messy this is an idea I saw Sheena Douglas doing on Create & Craft for the background technique when she was on with the stamps.  Which by the way I forgot to say the stamps are Sheena's.  Hope you like it.

Hope your all okay.  Granddad Johnson is finally home from Hospital yesterday.  We had a hectic week last week visiting him.  Fingers crossed he'll be okay.  Paul still hasn't heard from anyone of the jobs he's applied for which is a bit of a worry.  I keep hoping he'll hear something soon.  Not long to go now until he finishes work.  At least we can stay in the house until August.

Have a good week everyone.

Brother's Birthday Card

Hi all

Sorry I've been a bad blogger recently it's been a bit mad.  The weather has been awful hasn't it?  I do wish spring would hurry up and come.  Paul came home with the flu and kindly gave it to me so that's knocked me  out for six.  I've been going to a Back Class at the Pain Clinic at Kings Lynn Hospital on a Monday for six weeks which has been interesting.  I've also had a course of Acupuncture which hasn't helped and at the moment I've having a course of Hydrotherapy which is lovely while it's in the water but I've struggled afterwards.  Grandad Johnson got taken into Kings Lynn Hospital last Friday too bless him and they don't know what's causing it yet so we're going to see him again tomorrow afternoon as I've got Hydro and Paul can go and see him while I'm doing that then I'll meet them on the ward.

Paul's only got to the 18th of March left at work now and that's come round quick.  He keeps applying for jobs and not hearing anything which is a bit worrying.

I've been trying to keep myself busy.  I've knitted Dad a pair of fingerless gloves which he loved and know am knitting a pair for Paul's Aunty Eileen.  I'm also doing Alfie's Christening Invitations so it's all go.

This is a bit different for me but I loved doing it.  It's a birthday card for one of my Brothers using the new scene it dies from Do Crafts.  Hope you like it.  Please leave a message.

Hope your all well and having a good week.

Hugs
