Now you may have noticed that I have had time to do a lot of crafting this week. The reason is that I have been off work sick. I started feeling much better yesterday and got up early this morning to go to work. Having got ready for work and just about to leave I realised I didn't feel as well as yesterday so went to see the doctor this morning. I have a virus and labyrinthitis, which affects your balance and explains why I don't feel quite with it some of the time and a bit woozy. She said it affects your whole body and is the cause of my stomach pains too. I expected her to say I would be OK in a couple of days but she said it takes a couple of weeks and has signed me off work for a week from today, which was a bit of a shock. At least crafting is something you do sitting down so I have been able to do that plus some reading. I'm not one to sit about doing nothing or lie in bed when I am unwell, unless it is something that is really severe of course.
So onto the first card which is another of those LOTV cute bears. I received a lovely pack of images and Wild Rose Studio papers from my blogging buddy
Lisa today and couldn't wait to use them. The brown paper is one of those. I added some buttons and Sizzix cut corners.
Challenges:
Incy Wincy mint, chocolate and cream
Crafty Calendar The Great Outdoors
Cards for Men Outdoors
Magical Crafts Lovely sketch
A spoon full of sugar 3 DPs, 3 buttons
Paperplay Brown and any colour(s)
The second card is a Little Clare stamp from Ally Pally. I just couldn't resist these 2 giraffes. Background papers is another RAK from Lisa. I found a rub on in my stash which fitted the image perfectly. Flowers are Prima with added pearls. The great sketch is from
Create 4 fun.

Two gorgeous cards Marianne :) Love the cute giraffe one!
Hope you're feeling much better soon, I have had labrynthitis before and it did take me a couple of weeks to recover :(
Have plenty of rest and at least you can still craft a little x

Now you know what I am going to say don't you. Love the edge effect. You will have to post me one, so I can see as it is simply stunning, the bbq bear is sweet to and love those flourishes in the corners.

Hi Marianne, Wow these are great cards! I love the cute images and the corners look fab. Glad you like the papers I sent you and are already putting them to good use.
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. One of the girls at work has been feeling like this and has also been diagnosed with a virus affecting the inner ear. It must be going around here in Norfolk.

I'm sorry to hear you've got Labrynthitis. I 1st had that 4 years ago and it was really horrible! Enjoy your time off crafting and make sure you take care of yourself. Don't try rushing back to work.

Hope you're feeling better soon - I've had vertigo a few times in the past years, not a bit nice.
