friends and visitors.
May I welcome my newest members to my blog,
and thank you for choosing to follow me. I do
hope you like what I have to offer and return
often.
Well I had an appointment about my eye probs
today. Will be having an op on my left eye within
the next 18 weeks.
The only downside to this op is I have to sit with
my top of my body bent over a table for 5 fays
after the op with a break of 10 mins every hour.
Then they are still not really sure of the outcome
as they have never seen my 2 fold problem, they
have dealt with the one but not the 2 before.
So I suppose I am the guinea pig for others that
come along, maybe or am I unique. lol.
I always thought they broke the mould when
they made me. lol.
Well enough of this waffling just wanted to let
you know that I will be off air so to speak when
it all goes on.
My card is made with one of my old wooden
Christmas stamps.
Sorry about the cutting out it is awful.

This is a 6"x6" size card.
I used my pigment ink again and stamped the
background card, and then Mica powdered it
with a soft brush.
I used another snippet of red card left over from
previous cards.
I stamped my image and coloured him in with
Promarkers.
I used Glossy Accents on the boots, but it
doesn't look that good in the photo.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, thanks for the info on the scheduling thingy, yes I had my time zone all wrong, fixed now.

Great Santa card Jenny-love the shine on his black boots!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you have a tough time ahead after your op-the recovery sounds very difficult-will send you some virtual hugs in advance :) xxx
Have a lovely day,nessa xx
Your card is fabulous Jenny. I love the jolly image and wonderful festive colours.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't have to wait too long for your op. It sounds like the recovery time afterwards may be quite difficult for you but I am sure it will be worth it in the end
Take care.

Morning Jenny, Oh, you poor thing, sounds like your post-op care will need a schedule to follow, but it will be so worth it when your sight is restored. 'Guinea pig' or 'one of a kind' you are a lovely lady, and I hope you won't have to wait very long for the op.
ReplyDeleteYour Santa card is lovely, I love the old-fashioned Santa, and it took me right back (all those years !!) to the times when I used to make a long list for him, those were lovely days. His beautifully 'shined' boots look gorgeous, and the cutting out is fine, don't be so hard on yourself. I love it.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Dear Jenny! So bright and great card! I wish you straight and belive, that everything will be ok!
ReplyDeleteEvening Jenny, your card is lovely, a really bright & fun Santa! I do feel for you and your eye problem and I'm sure the surgery will be well worth it, Big hug, Carole X xx
ReplyDeleteYour card is a cutie. Love that vintage looking Santa.
ReplyDeleteYour eye op recovery sounds difficult. But i had a thought. i create bent quite far over the desk. Could you squint through your good eye and still create for those bent over the table hours?
This is fab. Hope all goes well with the eye op x
ReplyDeleteGreat card Jenny - and the cutting out is perfect! I love the little holder you propped the card up in too :)
ReplyDeleteHope the op goes well and you make a full recovery.
Hugs, Di xx
