PENNY BLACK JOY FOLD CARD AND SNOWFLAKE CONCERTINA CARD

Hello Bloggers 

Well, I've had quite an eventful day today! 

Firstly Sam and I had a dentist check up this morning - nothing to be done thank goodness!  Then we went into town to get a pastie for Sam and I had a voucher out of last weeks gazette for a free filled and topped donught!  Have to say it was gorgeous - I chose the chocolate topped one with cream in the middle!  From there we went up to Paul's Mums to visit.  She had a CAT scan yesterday to see where the hospital are going with her next treatment for her cancer.  When we went in she was not very well!  She felt light-headed and dizzy.  I think it is because she has lost her appetite due to the cancer and is not eating properly at the moment.  That combined with the pain she's in and the anxiety of this weeks hospital visits - she sees the specialist on Thurday morning.  She seemed to brighten up before we left so I hope we did some good!

From there we went to McArthur Glen, Sam was looking for a jacket.  We came home with school shoes from Clarks and a kettle from Tefal - no jacket!

I have 2 cards to post today both made with the same papers but completely different looks and folds!

Again, I made these with my ACL class and they really enjoyed making them!

The first one is a Joy fold card with a Penny Black image!  I love the Penny Black stamps - so adorable!
