Ruby Update

 Hi Everybody.

Thank you for your concern over Ruby and this is just to bring you up to date on what is happening. The vet put some green liquid into her eyes  and he tells me she has ulcers on her eyes.   The looked really painful and she could hardly open them. Apparently the light is painful for her. 

He prescribed painkillers and some drops that have to be given three times a day to repair the Conjunctiva. She has more drops that need to be given five or six times a day to treat the ulcers. And so I have diligently given her the care she needs and cleaned her eyes every time I administer the drops.

I took her back to the vets last Thursday and the green liquid was put in again and although there is some improvement they are still not right. We have more medication for her and she is still on pain killers and I have to take her back next Thursday for another check up.

I have everything crossed that she will be much improved and feeling better in herself. If she is not improved then the vet says he will refer her to an opthalmagist for further treatment, which is called an Corneal debridement.

Please cross your fingers fo us and hope she will be fine. She is only four and such a beautiful dog.

Charming Channels Butterfly Cards

Hi Everybody,

I know this is usually a Friday Freebie and I still have magazines and gifts to give away. But for some reason my computer will not allow me to upload the photos of the Give Aways and so I am at a loss at the moment as to how to solve the problem. 

So instead I am up loading another video staying with the Channel Cards and I hope this will make amends for no give away this week.

 I hope to have it sorted just as soon as I can but I am not a PC wizard and they do tend to scare me and confuse me at times ... so please bear with me for now

I know I have added photo of this card before but I can't find the video on the blog so here it is now for you to view and I hope you will enjoy it.

Fingers crossed that I can sort out my problem before next Friday and if I can't 

I will need a new paddle !!!

 And if anybody has any ideas on how to upload photos from an SD card to the PC please let me know

More tomorrow ...

Non of them are hard to make and I hope you will give them all a try.

Snowdrop Channel Cards

Hi Everybody,

Recently I have been asked to do a video using the Snowdrop Channel and matching Stamps and I am happy to oblige.

The video is not long but it covers the making of two cards using the different elements to the die set.

Shown is one of them using the floral dies and for the other I have used the channel itself to crate the focal point.

Both will create a petty card that would suit many occasions but the Snowdrop is the first sign of Spring and so very appropriate at the beginning of February

Your Snowdrops don't have to be white though if you wanted another type of spring flowers.

It's your card and your world and you can do whatever you want with your designs.

Just have fun and enjoy everything while this lockdown continues

Heart Triple Easel Card

Hi Everybody,

As promised yesterday I have a new video to show you on how I made this card.

Maybe you bought the easel dies that came out from Card Making Magic a while ago and they simplify any measuring for you.

But this is yet another way that you can make them and you can use any nesting dies that you have in your own collections.

The video is not long but it does take you in depth through the steps you will need to do to achieve the look for your self. It may look complicated but I promise you it isn't and you will be surely be delighted with your efforts.
