Yay I am now back creating for Digi Choosday

I am delighted to now be back creating for Digi Choosday

Thank you to Nikky Hall all the team for being patient with me, allowing me to take some time off to recover from my two operations and the subsequent problems with my arm

Our theme for you this week is 

Flower Power

So if you fancy joining in, please head over to the challenge blog HERE to enter your flowery creations

I have made a circle spinner card using the adorable image called Octavia Rose Garden in the centre, which is available on the Octavia Moonfly CD and Digi Download bundle in both outline and coloured, and as an individual image, in outline only, in the Digi Download store HERE

The lovely flower paper I have used, and the flower which I have double layered, are also from the Digi Download bundle

Taking a little break from blogging

Hi to all my followers

I have had a couple of people contact me to check I am alright as I have not been updating my blog

I am taking a little break from blogging at the moment, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October following my first ever mammogram and its knocked me for six, but I  have been trying to keep up with my blog and DT team stuff but I have now lost my creativity and realise I need to focus on my recovery

I have had so many hospital apointments to attend and have now had 2 operations but still have 4 weeks of radiotherapy to come, once that is out the way I am hoping that I will be able to focus on cardmaking and will look forward to updating my blog once again
