A whole week and no post is unheard of I know but things are getting the better of me as no sooner I've had another test done than I get a call summoning me to tell me something else is malfunctioning, as I said to some of my DT girls the other day if I were a horse they would have shot me long since.
Anyhow enough of that as Helene would like to see 'Snowflakes' on our work at Allsorts this week where A Passion for Stamps is our sponsor.
I have combined Penny Black and Lavinia stamps to create a Wintry scene for the above card and below Passion for Stamps/Tonic lattice window with MB candles and snowflakes embossed onto the background.
I have a Christmas candy running at the moment................see the post above.................so Saturday candy will be back in the new year.
Hope they get your problems sorted for you, fab cards, especially love the bottom one, so striking
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear you are having more bad news about your health Brenda. Sending you hugs and positive vibes {{{{{hugs}}}}}
ReplyDeleteTwo stunning cards, both so different but equally gorgeous :o)

Gorgeous cards Brenda! Love the scene on the first one!
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties Brenda. Thinking of you xx
ReplyDeleteWowww Brenda, beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteKisses
Stunning creations as always Brenda. Love how the buck is walking out of the background on the first and the trellis arch on the second is a lovely backdrop to the candles.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to see that you are still having a sense of humour amidst the difficult situation you are going through. Thinking of you.
Lots of caring Hugs

ReplyDeleteAnne
Chin up Brenda. Hope all health concerns clears up for you soon. Both your cards are lovely as ever.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you're having another tough week, Brenda! Take care, I'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteOh these are gorgeous Brenda! I especially love the second one... So elegant! x
ReplyDeletetwo beautiful cards Brenda - I especially love the first one - beautiful - I love stamping outside the box. So sorry to hear the reason for your absence - but glad you're making light of it. Big Hugs Brenda - and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours xx
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda, I'm just trying to catch up after returning from my trip to Sydney last week. Looks like I have been missing quite a few important updates on your health, so I will be working my way backwards to get updated. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear things are apparently not as they should be. Love both of your cards, although the first one is my favourite. Magical indeed. Have a good weekend!

Two gorgeous cards Brenda, the first one so wintery, I can feel the frost almost. xxxx

ReplyDeleteTake care

Two stunning cards Brenda. I love the scene on your top card and the gorgeous dies on the second.

Hello, Brenda, I hope the news will be good for a change. Thinking of you and praying for you. Both cards are beautiful! Love the buck in the first one and love the die-cuts in the second one - so pretty how you added the red glitter.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter about the posts - you're in my thoughts anyway. I hope there can be some remedial treatments put into place soon so that you have better stability of health. As for your cards - again I marvel at how you manage to create such different effects. I love the two sizes of moose in the first & the way the larger one is coming out of the picture. The second is a lovely example of how classy white on white can look. We've been herding sheep this week who seem to think our woodland & lawn are extensions of their grazing - the farmer is trying to sort it but meanwhile we have an interesting view as we open the curtains each morning! Not often you come face to face with a sheep!
ReplyDeleteMuch love from me

Two gorgeous cards I especially love the second one but they are both fab as are all your cards. I've just been having a catch up as I've been sooooo busy I've not been visiting blogland very much recently. I'm sorry to read your news and want to wish you well in whatever lies ahead
ReplyDeleteJackie x
beautiful, serene cards, Brenda. I'm so sorry about the "malfunctions". It appears the saying about "getting older" is true. Those of us with chronic, degenerative diseases suffer from it, too, only it seems the diseases multiply and worsen significantly at the same time. My heart is with you, Brenda. hugs, de
ReplyDeleteYour cards are both gorgeous but my favourite has to be the second one. I love all your cards and I'm sorry I haven't been around much recently to comment but life has been sooooo busy. I've been catching up on your blog posts and I'm sorry to read of your health problems and would like to wish you well for whatever lies ahead and hope and pray that it isn't as serious as you fear
ReplyDeleteJackie x
Oh gosh Dear Brenda, I'm so sorry to learn that there is even more going wrong for you. The stark and white and beautiful red look fabulous here. Gorgeous work. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteTwo more beautiful cards. Glad to see you are keeping going. Take care.

So beautiful Brenda! I just love your Christmas cards. Hugs, Robin
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards Brenda, the first one is my personal favorite, I just love the design, the way the deer "walks off" the scene, so clever! Of course the second card is stunning too, those dies are so pretty, and love the white with little bit of red. I am so sorry you had more not so good news Brenda. Hang in there, all will be ok. I know it is sometimes easier said than done, but keep thinking positive! Sending big hugs your way!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are stunning Brenda, really beautiful! Sorry to hear things aren't improving right now, hope it all settles down soon xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're not doing great Brenda :( I really feel for you, and I'm hoping that things really pick up for you soon and everything settles down. Beautiful cards, they're so gorgeous as always :)

Hi Brenda, just popped in to say hi and see how you are doing. It all doesn't sound very positive, I do hope you aren't giving up on yourself! Things WILL get better, you have to believe that! I wish I lived closer by so I could actually pop in and give you a great big hug and we'd have some coffee together ;-), or do some crafting. Unfortunately all I can do is leave you some love on your blog, so here it is....XXXX Love both your cards, especially that first one! Have a great Sunday, hugs Frea
ReplyDeleteThose are both beautiful cards! Gonna try to blog later, so will put your candy up!

Two fab cards in two different styles. Keep your head up, Positive Mental Attitude as a fellow patient once told me over 15 years ago. I'm sure the crafting does keep you sane, I know it does me.:)
