Morning everyone, an apologies to my teamies as this should have been yesterdays post for We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations. I usually schedule ahead but due to flu last week that didn't happen, then Saturday morning I collapsed in the kitchen, ambulance came but unable to take me to hospital as no new admissions due to pending NHS strikes, so a cobble up of paramedic's and 111........I'll say no more than it's rather like DIY health care.
Prizes this month come from Craft Stash, above my WLS share using AALL and Create stamps and another apology to the guys at A&C as there are no links this time
This one for SS using all Lavinia stamps.
Those leaving a comment on any post on this blog do so in the knowledge that their name and blog link are visible to all who visit this blog.
these are very beautiful cards Brenda

Two lovely cards, but my fave is the second one with the combo of blue and brown, it looks amazing. I really must try stamping in something other than black for silhouettes!
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Uf, I hope you are feeling better, I can't believe it what happened, no ambulance... Your cards are stunning, you have such brilliant ideas. Take care.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Brenda,the black,greens and gold colour combo in the first is so beautiful,the Lavinia card a stunner as always.Your experience at the weekend is disgraceful,it makes me ashamed of our " caring professionals " in the NHS
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards Brenda...as always of course. I hope you are feeling better now and I wish you a Happy Christmas. xx
ReplyDeleteBoth are great! But... you already knew...the Lavinia is my favorite! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteOhBrenda I’m sorry you’ve had this health trauma, and the situation with the ambulance is a shocker .. WTF??\ I do sympathise with the action of health workers, but when it comes to health care there may not be another chance if they get it wrong .. and when people are taken I’ll they already feel anxious and vulnerable. I hope you’re soon feeling better, and by the way both the cards are fab. (Hugs)

Sorry to hear of your experience Brenda, so horrible for you. I hope you are feeling a lot better now. Your cards are lovely and the colour scheme of the bottom one is beautiful x
ReplyDeleteLovely card Brenda, especially the cute scene in the second card. I hope your DIY healthcare works and that you make a good recovery.

Both beautiful cards and stamps Brenda-health care is becoming non-existent! Hope you feel better soon

What a horrible and frightening experience Brenda, I do hope you're feeling better now. It's dreadful that the strikes and unrest are affecting patients in this way, so worrying that we can no longer rely on getting the emergency care when it's needed. I fear that things will get worse as the winter goes on.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are both beautiful, especially love the Lavinia one!

Totally stunning card x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful cards Brenda, such lovely scene on your Lavinia one and the stamping and images on the first card is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you has such a frightening experience, I hope you are feeling much better now, Kate x
Sorry to hear about your health issues this week, Brenda. It must have been a horrible experience for you. Hope you’ll soon be feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful, each one a stunner. xx
I founded strange don't see your post Sunday, but I have never imaged what happened! I agree with Carol and Chris, health care is becoming even worse and non-existent (and not only in the UK!) Hope you are feeling better now!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, both full of interesting details!! My favourite is the scenic one, you know I love nature's scenes and Lavinia stamps. The sparkling on the snow looks wonderfully, as well the blue and brown palette!!
Hugs, be careful and take care of yourself!!
Oh Brenda!
ReplyDeletePlease try to take it easy!
That must have been frightening for you.
Cards are lovely. Do I detect a little sparkle in the second one!?
Hope you're feeling a bit better!
So sorry to hear of your health struggles Brenda - these are amazing - especially the WLS one. Love all the elements against that fabulous inked and stamped background

Oh gosh Brenda, it sounds like you've been having a rough time of it. I hope you are on the mend now.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous as always.

Hope you are feeling some wot better now. The health system is certainly becoming a DIY affair. Spent two weeks trying to get doctors phone apt just to get medication to tide me over christmas. Didn't like it that I was asking for a prescription on a just in case basis. You would think they would be happy I was trying to think ahead. Hope you have a nice Christmas. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous collage feel to the first cards. Great colors on it too. Super cute Levinia stamps on the second card and a terrific scene you created.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you collapsed last week. I pray you are doing better.
gorgeous cards!
ReplyDelete🎄🎄🎄Happy holidays! 🎄🎄🎄
Oh gosh Brenda that sounds like a scary time you’ve been having. Please take care. Beautiful cards as always. The scenes are amazing. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness--you have really had a time of it! I'm wishing for a healthier 2023 for you! Hope you're much better now. Scary to have hospitals closed because of workers striking! I understand people need to get what they deserve, but I never could accept nurses or doctors going on strike & I never did. But I did work a nurse strike when I was a supervisor. Actually enjoyed doing more patient care myself & not dealing with employees for that summer--haha! Anyway--your cards are beautiful, as always!
