It's our last day looking after Molly and Lucy while their Mum and Dad are away and I spent a lovely morning with them at the cinema watching the new Tinkerbell film and eating my body weight in popcorn! I really HAVE to get on that diet tomorrow! As I'm back to work in the morning it should be easier to stick to as I can't go wandering off to the kettle and biscuit barrel whenever I feel like; it's back to having my days ruled by the school bell - boo,hoo!
My card today has been made using the gorgeous Pre-coloured Simply for Valentine's images and papers from Digistamp Boutique that are just perfect for making CAS cards.
This set is an offer of the month for just 95p and you can buy it here.
The challenges I'd like to enter with this card are:
Pile it On - Challenge 1 - Black, White & one other
Hiding in my Craft Room - Challenge 79 - Black, White +1
Health update! My scan was clear (hooray!) but my blood was still not right so I have to have it checked again next month. I've still got a pain in my right side all the time and have been given antibiotics for a UTI so hopefully that will clear it up. Eye hospital is on the 15th and Dave also has his pre-op that day and then his op on the 18th. It's all go, lol!
I'm off to make a cuppa and then I'm planning a bloggy catch up with one eye on Dancing on Ice.
See you soon and thanks for visiting.

Great card. Love that paper you used in the heart :)
LOL at the eating your body weight in popcorn. Did that at home when the kdis and I watched the Hunger Games - hmmmm....maybe it was the title of the movie that made me eat so much ;)
Glad to hear tests are being done and things are a go for hubby. May 2013 be a year of new health for all :)
Wonderful news about your followers Katina, it's because of all your beatiful cards and other interesting things like that gorgeous cake you have here.
Glad all was good with your scan and I'm sure all will be good with the rest.
Gorgeous elegant card - love the CAS design and striking colour combo.
Glad the scan went well and hope it goes well at the eye hospital too :o)
Take care

Hi Katina,
Sorry not been around to say hi for a bit. Carrie was in hospital for her surgery then we all had the winter vomiting bug! Carrie brings us lots of bugs in with her suppressed immune system!
Sorry to hear you have been not keeping great. Glad your scan was clear. I bet it was the longest wait for the results! Hope your eye app goes well. Poor you!
Anyway love this card. Its striking with the bold red against the white. Love it!

Oh, this card is right up my street, Katina - love it!
Don't mention diets - I am trying to munch my way through all the left over goodies, ready for Monday. Diets have to start on Mondays, don't they?
Good news about your scan, hun. Hope the antibiotics kick in soon.

What a fun, fresh card! Love the bold colors! Thanks so much for playing with us at the Paper Players!
You gave me a lump in my throat! Because of the lovely, lovely, lovely comment you just left me, not because of your card, by the way. Which is CAS perfection. Loving that you have some fabby details in there, even though it is CAS. Very stylish. Hope work is ok and helping you stay out of the biscuit barrel I'm trying to do it on sheer will power alone. Doesn't help,when little people want snacks that are not grapes! XX
Amazing card Katina. Love the bold fresh look. Glad to hear your scan was clear. x
Hi Katina,
Just having a long awaited catch up and am sorry to hear about your health problems. Life has just been manic for me the past 6 months with both elderly parents very poorly but actually feel like I have a bit of time to breathe again so will be in touch soon. Take care
Margaret x
Oh! Katina I am so happy for you too, Glad the scan results were clear. Hopt the Antibiotics do the Trick now and that everything goes to plan for Dave too, sending him lots of good wishes.
Love the card, its so Bold and effective.
