Benjamin

Morning all hope you are all having a good week so far, it's freezing here, but a least the wind looks like it's dropped thank goodness.

I am sorry I haven't been visiting you and leaving comments, my Dad was admitted into A & E on Saturday, the staff at the home could not wake him, the I Doc went and decided he needed to treat him in hospital, luckily he had awaken by the time we got there, he's improving slowly it was a chest infection he has got, so I have been at the hospital twice a day and making sure Mums ok as she's at the home to with dementia  it's awful to see as they both don't understand what's happening really.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will soon be back together.

I will be round to your blogs asap, I promise.

While I have 5 mins I thought I would share a card I made last week, I am sorry for the glare from the bag I forgot to take a picture until after I had bagged them all up.

Benjamin is all dressed up, the papers and decoupage are from Beatrix Potters Benjamin Bunny CD, card for matting and layering pearls and ribbon are from my stash.

The Challenge \I would like to enter my card into are:-
Make It Monday - Anything Goes.

Thank you all for stopping by and leaving me lovely comments.

Mischievous Peter

Morning all hope you are having a good day, I just cannot believe the weekend is almost here again.

I am very sorry I have not been around to visit your blogs, I have had to go back to the Drs, more antibiotics and steroids, I am really getting fed up now, it's been 8 weeks now.
Also I have had internet problems, we changed over provider on Monday, it was so slow and just wasn't  opening pages, I did a speed test and it was only 0.04 MB, I have had the engineer this morning and so far so good hooray!!

After all that I have a card to show you, I made it a while ago and it's one of my favorites, Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit.
I printed two Papers from the CD and a topper, I have used my Epiphany tool to create a embellishment, I've have also cut a little Peter out and put him in the left hand corner using collall 3D glue gel, but it doesn't show up to well. I've added pearls and ribbon from my stash.
