Runway Inspired Challenge Ric#25

I'm just popping in to say hi!

It's been an interesting week, since I last posted.
Last Monday I was diagnosed with a chronic lung condition called Bronchiectasis,
which is disappointing because it can only be managed not cured.
 On Wednesday, my husband's Parents arrived from Scotland for a 5 weeks stay.
 On Friday I had an MRI to find out what is wrong with my foot,
because although I've already had an Xray and an Ultra-sound, 
nobody could agree on what the problem was and  they all gave different opinions.
 Anyway, the MRI result shows I have a stress fracture!

So I currently feel like hiding myself away from everyone and just recovering. 
It is lovely however to have Scott's Mum and Dad here for Christmas. 

I have managed to sneak in a little time for card making so I've made a card for the latest
Runway Inspired Challenge. Check out this amazing outfit!  I'm also entering this in the Moxie Fab 
World Keen on Neon challenge.


The bird is made with ribbon from a local discount shop and die cut using a Memory Box die. The branch is using
sparkly velour paper and also die cut. 

These are our cute puppies! My daughter dressed them up for a photo shoot.





I think Cookie needs a haircut - he looks like the Grinch!
Leo is definitely a hat man!

  2. This card is a beauty! You have interpreted the photo so well with this bright and cheerful card. At first I thought the bird was embossed in gold, but that is one gorgeous ribbon!
    Sorry to heat about your health condition. I hope you get plenty of rest and feel better soon.

  6. well that stinks! I hope you "get back on your feet" soon and hopefully a healed one at that. Managing illness can still be a great prognosis even if it isn't ideal. I think your card is really cool and unexpected with the pops of neon. I agree with Jocelyn, it's bold!
