Finally some Good News !

Hi Everyone,

Firstly I'm sorry I have been largely absent the last few weeks from both blogging and commenting, I've been feeling a bit low since my op and my mojo had also deserted me which hasn't helped either.
But yesterday I had the news I had been hoping for that my biopsy was all clear and my lump is benign ! I suppose I hadn't realised how it was affecting me but now I feel like someone has taken their finger off the pause button on my life and I can stop moping about and get on with things again :)

Sooo anyway with that weight lifted I finally managed to make a couple of cards thank goodness, especially as I was desperate to join in with Scrappymo's March Rudolf Challenge and the Merry Monday Challenge both of which I'm just catching in time with this card.




I found this image already printed out in one of my folders, I think he is so cute ! I thought it was a DigiStamp Boutique image but I can't find it on the site so I think it has been retired.
I have coloured him with Promarkers and sadly you can't see on the photo (it's been raining all day and so the lighting was terrible) but the fur on his hat and the ribbons on the gifts have had the Wink of Stella treatment and are really sparkly.
The tartan paper is from The Works and the gold pearlescent card is Anna Marie Designs.
I finished off with some punched snowflakes and a Clearly Besotted snowflake which I have added a red gem to. I have a small confession to make, the snowflake right next to the pup wasn't meant to be there it was intended to be further up but I dropped it and would have been left with a glue mark so there it had to stay Lol.

That's all for now

Crafty Hugs,
Kaz xxx

Hi Karen,
oh I am so glad you have had good news.
I remember when I had probs years ago with my smears and we were just about to move to Kent and the silly doctor said you should get this sorted before you go to another county we really paniced, but decided to move in any rate.
When I got here there was not all the horrible things he was saying to us they said it was fine, but I needed checkin on every year just in case.
few I can tell you that was a weight off my mind and my shoulders.
I tell you I could have strangled that doctor in Wales if I was that way inclined.

Happy Rudolf Days.
Your card is so lovely I love the image and you have coloured it wonderfully.
The tartan paper is one of my fave Christmas papers to use.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Marianne said...

Such a sweet card, Karen. So happy for you that the lump turned out to be benign. That must be a huge relief. I know what you mean by saying it felt as if your life was paused. We were elated when the oncologist declared my husband cancer free back in January. He will continue to be monitored of course, but we can breath more easily now.
Hugs, Marianne

Ohhh, this image is so adorable! A sweet little puppy and sweet card. I smiled when I read the story of the glue spot. My next card has placement of snow in two ofthe corners as I dropped a rhinestone and it took the mirri finish off my backing!
What the receivers of our cards don't know, eh!

Thanks for taking part in the March Rudolph Days Challenge.
