Hello!
How are you? Illness continues here, I've had flu that has turned into a bad chest infection. After doing battle with the doctors receptionist (who told me that it was highly unlikely that I had a secondary condition, and that I couldn't have an appointment... hmmm!!!) I finally got to see a doctor yesterday who has signed me off work, and given me some heavy duty antibiotics. Fingers crossed that they do the job as everything hurts from coughing for over a week, my nose is sore as I keep sneezing until I get nosebleeds, and I have no appetite and can't breathe properly. As you might tell I don't do being ill!!! And to make matters worse, we are supposed to be going to a black-tie do on Saturday, and I'm gutted as it's rare that we get posh-grown-up-all-dressed-up-time together and I'm poorly and don't know at the moment if I'm going to be well enough to go at all :-(
Right whinges over!! Onto today's card which is for this fortnights Southern Girls Challenge which is Banners and Pendants.
I've used Beach Huts from Delicious Doodles, colouring with Copics in a soft colour scheme. I decided to keep the design of my card parred down and simple to suit this calming image, I used some MME papers that seemed appropriate for the image and made a banner using some offcuts. Oooh, and I got to play with a new Memory Box die that I got last month - like this one, think it'll be great for mens/boys cards!
Please can I enter these challenges

Thats it from me today, hope to see you soon
