An Autumn Card!

Hello Blogging Friends, I hope all is well with you and sending good wishes and hugs out to those of you who are not doing so well.

Thank you to all who commented on my last card, very kind of you and I love to read them.

I've not managed to post anything for a few days, although I have tried to follow and comment on your blogs, sorry if I missed a few, I'm afraid that my mind has been a bit all over the place thinking about the Occupational Health meeting that was happening.
Well, it happened yesterday and on the whole it went OK in as much as the Dr. listened to what I had to say and even gave me an opening to talk about an issue that I would have struggled to introduce myself.  I was so glad that Alistair was with me, his presence kept me fairly calm, although he said he could see that I was shaking every time I lifted my glass of water for a drink.

So the outcome is that there are a few recommendations to make changes for me at my work and to have a fairly long phased return.  I have reservations about my work actually making these changes but at least I have medical backup.  The Dr. seemed to be astounded by the worker to workload ratio and could see why I had been so stressed.  I will be returning to work mid September, and hopefully there will be changes made for me, but if not, well, that's another ball game.

I'm feeling much better now that this meeting is over, although I have to go back for a review in 2 months time.  It's not the outcome i would have wanted, but hey ho, folk with open heart surgery are getting sent back to work after a few weeks now, and I'm no where near that sort of condition.

My card today;

This little creation was inspired by Creative Stamping magazine and it using the free stamps that came aalong with it.  The design is the same as the one in the magazine by Kim Dellow, I just put my little twist on it.
I have stamped the background with various ink pads in Autumn shades. Base card is Kraft and the background papers are Nitwits Country Lady from LOTV. Twin and buttons from my box.

I've never made a background with stamping and I must try more as it's really effective.  It's a really simple card, but I like it, I've left it bling free for a change.

I will love you and leave you now and hope you have a good evening,
Hugs Kate x
