A.W.O.C (Absent With 0ut Crafting) !!!

Update

I haven't disappeared from blog land, I'm just popping in to keep everyone updated. I had some bad news at the end of March, I've been getting headaches for a several weeks and my doctor sent me for a CT scan and they found a brain tumor, so I have been in hospital for several weeks having the tumor removed.
I'm home now and am starting radiotherapy on Monday to get rid of the remaining tumour, so I am starting the road to recovery.

Unfortunately I had to resign from my design teams (which broke my heart), but I felt like my work was slipping & I could no longer concentrate.

I've started to get my pencils out and my adult colouring books to keep practising, its slow but I've seen an improvement already :)

Whilst I've been in hospital I've been following everyone's blogs, all the work you've been posting has been keeping me going over the last few weeks.

Willy & Mia

Welcome to a new challenge at

Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog

Our theme this week is 'Hearts' and our lovely sponsors are  A&T Digital Designs,

I chose the image 'Willy & Mia' & this is what I did with it - 





I used the following Spectrum Noirs:

GB1, GB8, GB10
LG1, LG2, LG4
CR7, CR8, CR11, DR5, DR7

I wanted to make something different, I love looking for different shaped cards I get bored with square cards. So I found this 'Parcel Card' and a tutorial here, check out Jennifer's  fab blog she has a rubber stamp give-away running until Feb 28th!!



I thought this was such a lovely idea as you can put chocolates or something small and sparkly in the little parcel. I've included a lovely ceramic green & white heart in keeping with our theme.




I hope you like it, I'll definitely be making some more of these.

Crafting by Designs - Love is in the Air
