Hi everyone! I have been away from my blog for a couple weeks as I had a lot going on in my life. My father was in Hospice and passed away last Friday January 10th. He was 92 years old and had a full life. He kept me pretty busy between visits and still working full time. My sister came in from Florida and stayed with me to visit with our Dad during this time. On Thursday of last week my body decided to play tricks on me and I became extremely dizzy! I can't walk without holding on to walls...such fun. After seeing a neurologist I finally have an answer. I have vestibular neuronitis. Fancy word to say that my left ear has lost 40 percent of its balancing abilities and because of that I am dizzy! I start vestibular therapy today and am on a week of steroids so hopefully I will learn to cope with this and get on with my life. Whew! Enough about me; now on to my card...
I created this card using a pirate image from
Jellypark Friends. This image has been earmarked this year with all proceeds from its sale going to the
Willow Foundation. What fun to color! I also decided to make my own paper as I wanted to create a treasure map. Here is the front of the card...
My image was colored with Copic and Promarkers. The striped paper is from a journaling tag. The sentiment is from a $1 stamp at Michael's. Now here is a look at the inside of the card...
Another image was colored and a few stamps were used. I used a gray and a tea dye distress inks for the edges.I drew and colored in some land markers and dotted lines to complete the "treasure map". I think a young lad would love to receive this. What do you think?
Make sure to go over to
Jellypark Friends and check out the latest challenge..."Buttons and Bows".

I loved this when I first saw it on FB! It is such an original and fabulous creation, and I think any little boy would be thrilled to get it! :^)
Gosh, right after your dad's passing you develop this ear condition? Oh, I am ever so sorry--I had a different kind of ear condition years ago that lasted several months and I know how un-fun it can be. I wish you a very speedy recovery from this!
Sending you big hugs, Penny
