I'm Back With A Little Candy, A Very Late DT Card & A Blog Hop Reminder

Hello peep's,
Sorry I've been AWOL for so long, I haven't felt that poorly in ages. I felt like I was falling apart as my ears and sinus were affected as well as having tonsillitis and to finish me off I got a chest infection too, old age is cruel lol. I've been given another lot of antibiotics today so it's just the chest infection to get rid of now and I'm good to go again.

I am soooooo very late with my Paper Play DT card (sorry teamies) and I expect you all already know the challenge is "Back to school" but if not you have another day to enter.

The image I've used is from our sponsor Kenny K which I've coloured with Copics. The paper is Magnolia & some Kraft from stash, the stars are Magnolia stamps and the punch I've used is an EK Success one.

I have no idea what any challenges are so if I've time after trying to catch up with some DT commenting I'll pop back and enter some.
EDITED - I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Creative Card Crew - anything goes, Cards 4 Men - G is for ..... green!, Stamp Something - back to school, 2 Sisters - boys and their toys, Challenge Up Your Life - card for a male, Crazy 4 Challenges - male theme, Just Us Girls - back to school, Totally Papercrafts - back to school

MINI CANDY
Before I go dashing off to try and catch up with some DT commenting I have a little mini candy to share.
I bought loads of bits and pieces to make some fancy pins ages ago and before I became poorly I finally got around to making lots of  pins for my cards

If anyone would like any pins just let me know in your comment and I'll get hubby to pick a name out and pop some in the post to the winner
I can't wait to be able to catch up with you all.
Thanks for stopping by

  18. Hiya Mandy, wondered where you'd disappeared to, sorry to hear you've been a little sickie, here's wishing you a speedy total recovery.
    As usual a super dooper card coloured beautifully.
    Yes, I would love to be in the running for some of those lovely pins. I've never used pins on my cards before so I guess there's always a first time hey?

    Take care,

  19. Sorry you've been feeling icky lately. Sinus infections and anything involving the ears can be the worst. Feel better soon!

    Your card is adorable! The little guy on there reminds me of when my kids were little, and how overloaded their backpacks were on the first day of school!

    Your pins are beautiful!!! I would love to have some to play with! Maybe when you're feeling better you could do a little tutorial to show us how you make them? Or am I the only person in the world that doesn't know how to? Haha!!
