ALLSORTS #785 PLUS ONE

Hi the theme this week at 

ALLSORTS

is 

MASCULINE

or anything goes

Here in the UK and other parts of the globe it's Fathers Day tomorrow so it seemed an appropriate theme for all those Fathers Day cards you have made or of course Birthday and other masculine creations, plus the back up option of Anything Goes is always there.

We welcome anything that is hand crafted but can we please remind you all entries must detail as a minimum the make/brand of products used and preferably a short description of how it was made. A few entries still fail to include this so sadly every week we have to mark some as ineligible for protection of copyright  infringement. 

This is my DT card using an image from Dr's Digis

I coloured the image with both Graphic and Nuvo markers the papers are from my stash I added a stamped sentiment and some punched stars 

I would like to enter this card into the challenges at 

CREATIVE MOMENTS - MEN AND BOYS

Thank you so much for popping by unfortunately I am still having mega broadband issues it has taken me over 2 hours to get this far I think I am going to be calling it quits very soon with both this and Facebook issues I don't think I can stand it much longer.  My health has also taken a downward turn I had to go for a blood test a few weeks ago and have been informed that my cholesterol levels are very high so is my blood pressure,  I am having to monitor my blood pressure for the next week and have changed my whole eating habits which is not a bad thing. I have been put onto statins which are now affecting my legs and my sinus this year is just getting worse.

I am grateful to all my blogging buddies who have stood by me for so many years I feel that I have let you all down 

I am taking my laptop and printer to my mums to see if things improve there but if not my days of blogging are numbered.

Hugs

to you all and stay safe

Ruth Hamilton Design: I have enjoyed crafting all my life and have been involved in the craft industry for several years. I started drawing images to use on cards for my own use and then went on to design some stamps for a well known craft company.I am an avid lover of nature so most of my drawings are of flowers, birds and animals. Even when I can’t travel I love spending time in the garden, growing plants and looking after them. I hope you enjoy colouring my digi images, I have several YouTube videos here. One winner will be able to choose three images from Ruth's store.

I would like to apologise for my tardiness at posting my cards late but I am still struggling with the loss of my mum, I have had a bad week and I know that there are many more to come.

I do know I will never be the same without her, she is in my thoughts 24/7 I am talking to her all the time, as I suffer with depression my mind is having some bad thoughts although that is nothing new, my mum used to always be so supportive and understanding as she also suffered with depression on and off throughout her life.

I am going to be moving all my craft stuff over the next couple of weeks to my mums room that I have decorated and I know I will feel closer to her.

I will be trying to visit you all to leave you some love as you have done for me, I feel selfish at not replying to your wonderful comments I know that there are many of you that feel or have felt the same as me 

See you soon 

hugs

For my card I have used a 7" x 7" white pearl card base the papers are Bearly Mine, I found them in a box of papers and thought they suited this image, called Happy Days from Di's Digi shop, perfectly.  I used my EK Success circle cutter for the semi circle at the top and did a bit of faux stitching. 

I added some adhesive wavy border then punched out some butterflies in alternating colours topped with Cosmic Shimmer pink PVA glue, I added the sentiment using my MCS programme before printing off the image which I coloured with Graph It Markers.

Once again I have to apologise for my lack of blogging, unfortunately I find myself in a position where I have to sell my house within the next several months.

There is such a lot to do as most of my stuff will have to go into storage that includes most of my craft stuff, I have made several cards that I have in reserve so that I may show you and enter into some challenges. 

I will be visiting all my lovely regulars who have left me such wonderful comments so once again may I ask that you bear with me.
