CD sunday challenge

This weeks challenge was nature and I made this card using Deb's cd Autumn Butterflies and lace (www.debbeescds.co.uk)
After I took a photo and uploaded it I realised it looked familiar and then I looked at the card I did for the last challenge..... I think Im getting stuck in my ways

CD sunday challenge

This weeks challenge at http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/ was the letter M. I was totally stuck for ages but then I thought of a mouse. So here it is

And even more cards

Mum asked me to make her a couple of 70th birthday cards but as I wasnt sure what she wanted I made these and will let her decide

Some recent cards

Some more cards Ive made over the last couple of days. The animal image ones are all from the Jayne Netley Mayhew cd and the other is just stamped and coloured with pro markers

Just heard about a challenge blog today

Its http://cdsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/ and it has challenges which incorporate things from cd's. Today one card I made is suitable so I decided to join in. Never having done this before so Im hoping I get it right.
This is the card. It was made using a Joanna Sheen cd called the Jayne Netley Mayhew collection

Wow its been so long!!!

So loads have things have happened since april and most of them have been good!!!!

I qualified as an expert patient volunteer tutor and passed my first assesment so one more and Im 'accredited'. Ive done my first course and seen how I (yes I) can make a difference to peoples lives. Im not curing them or anything but by showing people how others have the same problems and how they can all try to over come and cope with problems has been amazing.

I went back to the cattery on friday to help out and was totally amazed at how different I felt. I had confidence in myself and just thought hey if I do it wrong it can be sorted out rather than worrying about what people think of me. In a way thats been the main thing. I never thought I could stand up in front of a group of people without thinking they were judging me and thinking OMG shes fat!!! lol Instead I found I could and didnt even think about what they were seeing because the main issue is that as a person with long term illness Im trying to help others and if Im fat and ugly well those are your thoughts lol

The course has finished now so Im hoping to concentrate on some card making again. I havent made anything for ages apart from one card which was for my Mum as she had a minor op (shown above)

Ive neglected so many things to concentrate on the EPP but Im so pleased with myself and feel confident about the future for the first time in ages. All I need now is a cure for ME and a job with EPP and I'll be happy

hopefully other posts to follow within a day or so rather than the odd month lol

New cards

So having got the whinging moaning post out of the way I thought Id show some new card photos.
I cant show many as some are for birthdays that havent happened and some are secret sister cards which if I show kind of ruin the whole secret sister plan.

Anyway here are some photos
