Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts, our host this week is Kath with the theme of 'Celebrations', our prize this week is a lovely Tonic Butterfly border die. Further down you will also find my shares from my post over at the Chocolate Baroque blog.
I was reminded that I haven't updated on the NICE appraisal meeting I attended as the Patient Expert Witness where they considered the availability of my monthly migraine injections Emgality (Galcanezumab) through NHS England. The delay was because I had to sign an NDA so was unable to share the news until it was officially announced on the NIC website.
Grief it was hard keeping the secret, but I's pleased to say the drug gained approval and has the ability to change the lives of thousands of chronic and episodic migraneurs. But that's not the end of it, now I have to persuade my GP as they have discretion to decide if their practices will prescribe, so until then I still have to pay for the drug.
Back to my share for this week, A Penny Black stamp inked with Distress Markers and the colour built up using my stamp platform. The background has random stamping and stencilling and a PB sentiment.
Both are samples from the recent Hochanda TV shows, details of what I did to create the above canvas and card below here.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Three excellent cards again. I love the colour combo on the first, the lovely depth in the background of your second and the bright colours and quirkiness of your third. Thank you. That's really good news about the NICe guidance which is very positive progress, hope the funding follows. xx
So happy to hear about the medication, I hope it will be funded soon.

La card per Allsorts è deliziosa, amo gli Alchechengi, sono così eleganti con quel feel orientale e perfetti in rosso!
Stupende anche le card per CB, le ho appena ammirate sul loro blog!
Sono felice che le iniezioni funzionano e che questa terapia potrà essere usata anche per altre persone che soffrono di forti emicranie. Sei stata una cavia, ma per fortuna ha funzionato!!! Speriamo che le rendano mutuabili (o gratuite... non so come funziona da voi in GB: qui in Italia si paga un ticket, che spesso è molto alto, non danno medicine gratuite) :)
Un grande abbraccio
Well done on the NIC win but now another battle it seems - fingers crossed.
Love the vibrancy of the colour on these makes - all beautiful as always.
Gorgeous set of cards...all vibrant and so different...so pleased to hear the news on your medication...

Wow--love how you inked the PB stamp, Brenda! Gorgeous card! How wonderful the drug was approved & hope your GP will approve it for you!
Wauw wat zijn het weer schitterende kaarten
Groetjes Gerrie
Very vibrant makes today. Great news hope you can benefit
Excellent news re the medication, B, been there done that Downunder, but my current “you beaut” med isn’t actually affordable, as over $100 a week on a pension, so I waited till available on PBS and thankfully is now for almost two years. However GPs can’t prescribe it, must be done by an endocrinologist, which is okay as mine does it for me, but like you had to jump through all sorts of hoops, had waited 17 years from first time on trial and several more in the years since then.
Pray GP swiftly agrees ..
Beautiful cards, lovely soft background in first one, reminds me of Eileen’s work.
Thanks for Sharing, God bless and keep you safe, and all those you love, hugs Shaz in Oz.x

Gorgeous, gorgeous makes, Brenda! I hope you do get your migraine meds from your GP... hey if you managed to influence NICE this should be a walk in the park. But if not, don't hesitate to make puppy eyes, look desolate, cry... you have (and they must be well aware of that) enough to contend with! Have a great Sunday. x
AMAZING creations Brenda, lovely movement~
They look wonderful Brenda, loving the vibrant purple flower, xxxx
Beautiful cards, hope you get the meds sorted xxx
I love the stamp you used for your Allsorts card- those lanterns are beautiful and very effective in red and brown. Absolutely loving the colours you've used on your second card too and the way you created that wonderful depth to your background. What a fabulous abstract design the final card is! I love the way you kept the light bulb uncoloured which makes everything else look super-bright! Vicky x
These cards are so beautiful. Loving the colors you chose for your first one, keeps it so elegant and perfect for the occasion. And such great designs with fun details on your two Chocolate Baroque makes.
Absolutely amazing cards Brenda - love them!! Great news about the approval of the drug, just a pity you still have to pay at this point :(
Stay safe
Blessings

Lorraine
wonderful cards Brenda!
Those Chinese lanterns are beautiful, I adore the colour combo and background, fabulous CB creations too. Great news on the migraine treatment.
Happy crafting

Stunning PB card, Brenda. Love the colours.
Glad to hear you've found a solution to your migraines, but what a palaver! I do hope your Practice decide to prescribe it. You certainly need it and I'm sure it doesn't come cheap. But let's just be thankful for a solution...you couldn't have continued normal life with the headaches you were getting, so it must be a huge relief, to say the least.
This really is a stunning card. I love the way you did it, with that gorgeous fadeout stamping/stencilling. I didn't get that stamp, though I love it...I couldn't do as good a job as you do, though. Gorgeous!

All three cards are so beautiful and what a great splash of colour. Wow that is great news Brenda. I will keep everything crossed that your surgery gives you the drugs on prescription!!
Fabulous cards Brenda, hope you get the news you want from your doctor! x
What glorious cards Brenda and once more a happy memory of Nan and Pop triggered by the chinese lanterns!! I am so pleased to hear that this treatment will be available to those who need it and I hope that your own GP will allow your continued use. I hope your sugar has arrived, I suspect it was Dikes of Stalbridge. They are about 12 miles away from us and used to deliver fabulous sandwiches for Practice Meetings, so they get a thumbs up from me!! xx
Another grand selection of cards. First one is my favourite. No need to apologize over not entering any cards. I am just the same. Finding it hard keeping on top of everything myself. Keeping food supplies coming into the house is my number one priority and then sourcing anything The Doc says he needs/must have on the web.Staying put as much as possible with only drs, opticians and dental appts. on the agenda. Stay safe and well. Hugs Mrs A.
