Of course I love the Tilda image and she is beautifully coloured, but I think the palms and hibiscus make it extra special, especially with the 3D effect. Hope you feel better very soon.

I do hope you continue to craft and visit blogland on a regular basis, I'm sure with the pressure of DT's taken away then crafting will become a pleasure again and you will find a renewed enthusiasm.

I have to first apo...Oh my dear friend Lorraine!!! I have to first apologize to you for my absence visiting your blog. As you may have seen on my a couple of my blog posts that I have been extremely "busy" behind the scenes creating things that I can't even post on my blog! (boo!) <br /><br />You are such an AMAZING and talented lady!! Your creation here is absolutely gorgeous with so many many details and I can see with ALL of your creations that you are and expert in what you do my friend!! :) I've also loved those sweet Magnolia stamps and you work with them stunningly!!<br /><br />Now onto the wording in your post which I've just caught up with here....sigh....I think I know EXACTLY where you are coming from here my friend and I've actually sadly seen this with several of my blog friends over the last few years. When something doesn't become as fun as it once used to be, I completely understand. This is why we started it in the first place, it's supposed to be FUN!! This is why I've had my "ups" and "downs" myself with it and have to step back once in a while so I completely understand. For me, the stepping away to access it all helped a bit. But I also found that by turning my attention to forms of art. As you know I used to make fussy and fancy cards, but turned my attention to the trendy CAS style. I have found that sometimes I also need a break from cards and tried something totally different and out of my comfort zone and have picked up new excitement with that as well. Whatever you decide to do, I will always support you!! Sending you comforting HUGS - P.S.

I know how you struggle with health issues and are always so brave to fight them and keep creating wonderful cards. <br /><br />I can totally identify with needing space to step back and hope that in time you will feel like getting back into things, meantime sending you love and gentle hugs my friend.<br /><br />B xbrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768329329811996308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346957043695604963.post-27449642540166095002016-08-20T09:47:42.485+01:002016-08-20T09:47:42.485+01:00A gorgeous card!

That is waht makes them special. Having stepped back from design teams may be enough to change things up a bit for you. You will now be creating whatever you want to do. That may be freeing and fun!<br /><br />I too suffer with poor health and totally understand how draining and debilitating that canbe.
