About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Imagine That May digi of the month challenge

Imagine That  May digi of the month challenge
https://imaginethatdigistamp.blogspot.com/2021/05/may-digi-of-month-challenge.html

Each month Imagine That gives free digis for us to join the digi of the month challenge

For May we received the set Go Fly a Kite

I have had to use the coloured images as I still can't see out my right eye and everything is blurred.   The eye operation on 30 April brought the glaucoma pressure down from 30 (normal is 12) but when I had my 3rd post operative appointment with the specialist on Thursday the pressure was still down at 4 which he said means it is draining too fast.  I see him next on 11 June and he said if the pressure hasn't gone up he will take blood from my arm and inject it into my eye.   I hope I don't have to have that done.

 


I have used Imagine That papers from Love Lifts You and Woodlands paper set
Three of the coloured digi stamps and one of the sentiment from Go Fly a Kite set

If you haven't already joined in you can purchase Go Fly a Kite at a special price till the end of the month, make a project and enter the challenge then next month you will receive the free image.

I would also like to add my card to the following:

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - The world cup: Soccer

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-rhymes-may-30-june-12-challenge

Our sponsor for June is KLM Designs
https://klmdigitaldesign.com/shop/ols/categories/digital-stamps 

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

The World Cup

The world's abuzz with soccer
Though I couldn't give a hoot.
I wouldn't even have a clue
For which team I should root.
The bars are packed with rousing fans;
I don't begrudge their cheers,
But I prefer a tennis match
To savor with my beers.
I'd also watch the Yankees play
'Cause baseball's what I know,
Though baseball-haters claim the game's
Inordinately slow.
So while the teams do battle
With the World Cup as the prize,
I'll find a book or other show
To occupy my eyes.

Sunday Songs and Rhymes - The frog

Ourlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-rhymes-may-2-may-15th-challenge

Our sponsor for the month of May is Sherry West Art

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

The Frog

Be kind and tender to the Frog,
   And do not call him names,
As ‘Slimy skin,’ or ‘Polly-wog,’
   Or likewise ‘Ugly James,’
Or ‘Gape-a-grin,’ or ‘Toad-gone-wrong,’   
   Or ‘Billy Bandy-knees’:
The Frog is justly sensitive
   To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
   A treatment kind and fair;
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,   
They are extremely rare).



I have used Sherry West digital stamp Girl with frog and coloured with chalks and markers
We are 3 sentiment from Birthday Greetings sentiment set

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.
