Apologies for being MIA (Missing In Action!)

Hello all and just a quick post from me to apologise for vanishing a bit this week. Unfortunately I had an awful flare up of infection in a cyst in my upper jaw that has affected my mouth, face and nose. So with very little sleep, numerous dentist and doctors appointments, endless amounts of antibiotics and painkillers, and a face swollen up like a chipmunk, the last thing I've felt like doing is crafting! At this rate I won't need a mask for Halloween!  I've got an appointment to see the surgeon at the hospital next week as the dentist and doctor think it may need surgery, so I'll let you know how things go.  The Design Teams I'm on have been fantastic and very understanding, but sadly I haven't got a card to share with you today for the new challenge over at CraftyCatz!  But this week is everyone's favourite challenge - Anything Goes!  So do pop over to the challenge and have a look at the wonderful inspiration from the DT!

And I had a little card ready for the new challenge today over at Polkadoodles - and this week the theme is 'Autumn'.

I've used images from the gorgeous BonBon Belles cd from Polkadoodles and merged them together into a little scene.  The backing papers are from the cd.  I've added some twine and a button from stash and some Spellbinders 'Fall Foliage' die cut leaves. 

I just love that cute little fox! 
So do have a look at the fabulous inspiration from the Polkadoodles Team and join in with your Autumn creations. 

Thank you for all your lovely comments - they really mean so much (especially when I've been feeling as fed up and uninspired as I have this week!).  I will try to get around everyone's blogs over the next few days and see all your wonderful creative inspiration.

Back soon,
Kim x
