Double Challenge card

Well i'm sorry i've not been on your blogs to comment but i have been laid up in bed with these flipping gall stones yes its definitely gall stones (if i start going yellow i have to get to A&E), oh boy are they painful and couldn't keep anything down either, have to wait for an appointment with the consultant to find out when they are going to operate i just hope they hurry up lol. Any ways back to my card its for the Whiff of Joy Challenge 45 which is to include some bling and Papertake weekly Challenge Sketch 22. I hope you like my card i made it a few days ago but couldn't get on here as i was so rough. I will try to catch up with you all real soon.

I wont go into all the details of what i've used as i'm feeling very uncomfortable.

Papertake Weekly 100th & The Pink Elephant 28

Hiya every body i hope you have all had a super week mine been yuk my Dr thinks i have gall stones so had blood test today and the poor woman doing it dropped one of my bottles so there was blood every where so she then had to take some more just as well they don't bother me lol, anyway i now have to be careful of what i eat, but the pain has eased quite a bit so thought i would make a couple of cards. This one is for Papertake Weekly's 100th Challenge and you can take your pick of which sketch you do, i picked this one as i liked the sketch but never had time to enter (28 July 2009)and i am also entering the Pink Elephant Challenge and the theme this week is summer so i thought the new Pink Petticoat Frillie Millie Ladybird would be perfect and i just love them.
I hope you like it.
