Ten Green Bottles +0ne

It was The Docs birthday last week and this is the card I made for him. The stamps were free in a Creative Stamping  Magazine and are by Clear Impressions. I wanted to do a row of bottles so I stamped out the image 10 times and then fussy cut just the bottle out. Coloured with my pro markers and then glued to the front of the card adding shading around each of the bottles. Stamped the vine leaves and the sentiment onto the white card and then used my Xcut  chomper to round the edges off.
Matted onto green cardstock and rounded the edges again.  I used white cardstock to make the base card and adhered to the front of the card.

  I then stamped the complete image onto more of the green card and placed inside the card to write my message along side it.

 

I wish I was making the rest of this up but I'm truly not. I'm under attack from all angles.

 



I have had more trauma this past week with the same account being hacked again. 3 times is a hack too far so I phoned the company and told them to close my account with them as whoever was doing it was not going to stop. I'd had the account with them since 2003 and used it a lot for online shopping but my sanity (what is left of it) is more important than being able to shop on line.Company concerned said the hack was done away from their web sites, my computer keeps coming back squeaky clean. Passwords have been changed so don't know how they are doing it.

 

Then I got bitten in the garden by a Tick. The little blighter was hanging on for dear life and having a good feed. Didn't realise what it was to start with until later in the evening when my arm was itchy and a red patch with a brown blob in it began to throb. Under a magnifier glass you could see its little legs waving around in the air. The Doc managed to get it out with tweezers  and it made a popping sound as it lost its grip on me! So one phone call to the surgery in the morning and I was given a prescription for precautionary antibiotics to start taking if a bulls eye  ring around the bite appeared as this is a sign of Lymes Desease . (Nearly gave myself a heart attack looking at the pictures on line.)

Sat in the garden later on in the day with The Doc waiting  for the chemists to open so I could pick up the pills when I noticed a blob on The Docs leg and on inquiring  he said " oh its just a blood blister" so I sent him inside for the magnifying glass and yep he had one too.  Tried to pull this one out as well  but it left a bit of the head in so we both toddled off round to the surgery where the chemist confirmed a bit of the head was still there and sent him in to see the nurse who said she couldn't do anything as there was no body left to pull it out with.  We are now both on Bullseye Alert and waiting to see which of us needs the antibiotics first!!!!

 

 I will get round to commenting on your blogs asap.   Bugs who'd have em!!
