Dotty Birthday

Sarah will be on HSN tomorrow launching these fabulous new Border and Word Dies, I think they will be available in the UK next month.


I used papers from the Summer Breeze collection and card stock from the Textured Cardstock - Brights.


These are the last samples that I will be creating for Crafter's Companion, I have been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration so I have decided to stand down from all of my Design Teams and concentrate on using up some of the craft stash that I have accumulated over the past 10 years - I hope you are prepared to see some very old products popping up on my blog!  There is a Design Team call going on at the moment so pop over and take a look HERE, Crafter's Companion are a fabulous DT to be on.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated.

I feel horrible for your diagnosis. As a card maker, I'm sure that's devastating, but good for you using up your stash and still making beautiful cards like this one. I love the curvy border.

Love the card and the red centre, goes so well with those dots, Love it. I'm so sorry to hear about your eyes Pauline. I think you're right to enjoy yourself with "old stuff". As I said before, you make it all look so up to date.

So sorry to hear about your eye condition dear friend. Devastating for you, but you sound very positive about using up your lovely stash. Will look forward to all your lovely makes. Such a beautiful card Hun. Take care. Hugs xx

Kathleen said...

A really lovely creation, love the design, and the border die, the sentiment die looks like it could be very useful, will look out for that.
I have to say that I had to look up MD and I am so sorry that you are suffering with it but I am sure that you will still be making fabulous creations and i am certain that I will be able to join you with your 10 far old stash, as I have lots too. I had my eyes tested last month and he found very little change, so I am thankful for that.

Greetings Pauline, wow such a happy design and the colors and patterned paper are perfect.

Sue said...

For someone who designs beautiful cards, this had to be a hard diagnosis to hear. I pray that with new medicines and treatments, the progression is slowed so you can continue to do what you love. This card is stunning and the pretty papers and die are beautiful. Thinking of you..........

Hugs
Sue

PS, I am also trying to use some of the supplies I have purchased and held on to for too long without using them.........

Hello Pauline, I'm so sorry to hear you news, it must be worrying for you, and what a pity that you feel you have to give up your DT work, but health comes first. Will look forward to seeing what you create with your old stash.

Sarah said...

What a fabulous card Pauline, love the simple design and the fabulous colours. Sorry to hear that you have MD, but I am sure it won't hold you back, especially if you have 10 years worth of stash to use up!! Looking forward to see what you have been saving!! xx

Witchcrafted Life said...

What a joyful birthday greeting. Polka dots really have to be one of the most upbeat patterns ever invented.

I am incredibly sorry about your MD diagnosis and the (100% understandable) impact and reverberations it is having on your crafting. Please know that I'm always just an email away if you would ever like to chat in private about anything at all that you may be going through, thinking about, etc..

Many hugs & heartfelt understanding,
