Papertake Weekly #24 & Whiff of Joy #49 & Simon Says Stitch it Up

Life is a whirl at the minute. Without going into details I've had a very long term back and hip problem (I've been on crutches for 2 1/2 years) and my treatment regime has just been stepped up to Physiotherapy on a Monday, Hyrotherapy (or Aquatherapy as they now call it) on a Tuesday and Thursday. That's a round trip of 40 miles 3 days a week. I also have my daily exercises at home. It all leaves me rather tired but I'm determined to keep up my card a day and my daily blog visits.



However enough of the whinging, this card is being entered into 3 challenges.
1. Papertake Weekly Challenge #24 where there was a great sketch to follow,
2. Whiff of Joy Challenge #49 which had a recipe of 6 brads, 2 flowers and 3 papers.
and
3. Simon Says "Stitch it Up"


The stamp I chose is "Bruno Bear with Cupcake" from Whiff of Joy of course. I coloured this cute chappie using my Copic Ciaos and mighty pleased with himself he looks.
The papers are:
1. Fancy Aged Florals (Beloved)
2. My Mind's Eye - Laundry Line (Fun lovin)
3. My Mind's Eye - Laundry Line (Pure Joy)
The flowers, fronds and brads are from my stash.
Ihope you think it all hangs together and feel able to leave a comment or two.
Hugs,
Fiona x
