Hello everyone, I haven't disappeared just hibernating.

First thank you for all the people how sent lovely word for my dad he is doing well now has had 3 op's one taking 12hrs but all went well. He is now back in Palmerston North Hospital for the next 4 to 6 weeks so a long way to recovery.

I haven't made many cards lately with all the things going on but these two are my favourite.

The first one the Pirate I wanted this stamp set for a very long time since I saw it in the USA catty so I thought I would get it now In case I miss out on getting it later.

the second card is my try at vintage style don't think it is really my type of card making but its good to try different things.

got to go three kids here today so have to keep a very close eye on them.

take care

I hate hit and runners

The title of this post basically sums up how I am feeling this week, my dad was biking on the way to work this weeks was hit by a moving size truck. He has suffered a broken hip and wrist thankfully no head damage. But to add insult to it the driver of the truck who hit him, decided to leave the scene before the police could talk to him. So it has been a very stressful week in the McDonald household. He is doing well and due to have two more op's next week in middlemore. So I had to make him a card, I love the new hostess stamp set in America which has lettering behind a image and I thought I could do this just combining two stamps. The letters are from my most well used stamp set ever French Foliage, and the pear from a retired stamp set all natural.

I have keep the colours very natural since it is going to a man bravo burgundy, river rock, crumb cake. I have also keep the layout simple to appeal more to dad.

I just love how this card has turned out, simple but very elegant.

Sorry about the photo was taken very early in the morning quickly as I push kids out the door for school, had to send straight away. Not that I am very good at taking photos at the best of times.
