Good morning... Well its Wednesday morning and all being well I will be at work and this will have come up as I've scheduled it for 8am - (fingers crossed)
I've been missing in action due to work. I'm leaving home before 7am and sometimes not getting back till after 6pm and this is every week day - I am so tired (it will soon be some weekends too). I never thought it would be possible to be more tired than I feel at the moment and I was working shifts including night duties, suffered with life threatening anaemia, and had a baby to look after too, but this is so much worse lol. I get in from work, play with Poppy, chat with Stephen then I have to collapse on the bed and sleep - I'm sure once I get back into a routine it will be all good, but at the moment my energy levels are kaput!
I've made a card for Ladybug and Friends - I am so loving these stamps. Elisabeth Bell has and does design for some amazing companies and Ladybug and Friends is one of them. The fluidity she has on making the images so sweet and lovable is amazing.
I've used 'A Letter For You' Stamp, and papers by Ladybug and Friends from the Spring has Sprung collection called One Special Day. The Gardenia is from Ladybug and Friends which is handmade and before I secured it to the card I spritzed it with glamour mist. The lace, pearls, roses, and head pins are from my stash. Image was coloured with Copics.
The photo isn't great but if you look closely at the edges you might be able to see some detail - I dabbed some Rock Candy Distress Paint around the edges which gives a lovely effect with the light hits it.
I'm hoping at some point to get in to the craft room again and get some cards made. I've been meaning to play along with Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenges, The Sugar Bowl and some Sketch Challenges and I've just not got round it them... Hey Ho - I guess I gotta make a living (especially to feed my craft addiction hehe!)
Catch you all soon (I hope) - Oh and the job, be it tiring, is great.... I love it!
