Welcoming in 2019

Yes I know I have not been around much this year

but that has been due to ill health.

I was iron deficient for over 6 months until in early October 

I was found to have Bowel Cancer

which was operated on a week later.

My surgeon was a master at his craft as he managed to remove

the Cancer fully contained about the size of an orange

with only keyhole surgery.

So I am one of the lucky ones who needs no follow up treatment.

It was never the less major surgery but I am well on the way to a full recovery.

Just to finish up the year I thought I would give 

you all a look at the cards I haven't put up this year.

This will be photo heavy.

With these 2 cards I pulled out some border dies

This die I used 2 different ways to get a completely different look

Here is a stamp that was coloured in years ago with Tombows

The flower was coloured in by my daughter and I just swished 

a coloured stamp pad over the embossing

A wonderful way to use up scraps.

Especially for those males

Another male card with a few leaf stamps

 Not a very good result of blended background and water 

colouring on the wrong type of paper of course.

  

With this one I brought out one of my very oldest

stamps Sweet Impressions Inc 1996.

Well there you have it a few of the cards you never got to see this.

Now to new beginnings with a lovely New Year.

May I wish you all good health and happiness.
