Morning everyone! At Allsorts, this weeks host is Lorraine with the theme of 'Anything Goes with the option of Winter Blues'. Prizes for this week and the next two will be announced on 27th January and a host of goodies from Oakwood, Stamp Addicts, Sizzix and AALL and Create.
A heads up that Oakwood and AALL and Create both have new releases this week on Create and Craft TV, for former Tuesday and A&C a Pick of the Day at 6pm Thursday. Below a few of my Oakwood shares, A&C ones later in the week, I just fell in love with them.......you'll understand why when I share.
Update on Daisy as so many have kindly asked, she's doing OK, toxicology came back and confirmed as expected the tumour was malignant and spread into tissue but they feel confident they removed all affected areas at this point. The Vet will monitor her going forward to see if any further surgery is required. She wasn't keen on eating earlier in the week but a roast chicken M&S no less, did the trick!
I have two Allsorts cards to share plus one for the Snippets Playground, the first above using a collection of Lavinia stamps to create a blue tone on tone card using Versafine Clair Twilight for the stamping and Oxide Faded Jeans for all the shading. And of course the obligatory glitter here and there.
A second card using the same Stampendous Peony Pair stamp I used last week available from Oakwood, this time stamped into some inky cardstock which I have a feeling was a Gelli Plate mop up, I keep a draw of ready inked backings and at times don't remember exactly how they came about. The image was stamped with Versamark and embossed with a Stampendous sparkle EP, the flowers bleached out, left to dry and colour added. A die cut sentiment to finish.
A few of my Oakwood shares for Tuesday and the first is going over to the Playground to help celebrate Miss Di's (and partner in crime Sarn) eleventh anniversary of running the Playground, it takes time and commitment to stick with it so huuuuuge congratulations.
And a photo of my inky bit and pieces used, the torn piece in the background is what became the scroll.
I do hope you will find time to join us at Allsorts this week.

Brenda you have made very beautiful cards but the card on top is gorgeous

Another fabulous set of cards, Brenda. My favourite is the first one, absolutely stunning! I’ve just reorganised all my Lavinia Stamps so it should be easier to find the ones I want to use. I started collecting them over 15 years ago, not realising how my collection would grow!
Good news that Daisy’s op went well, hope she fully recovers soon. xx
A lovely blue toned Lavinia scene. Your second card has a beautiful background which is so effective. Like you I have left over backgrounds which I struggle to identify! Lots of lovely samples too.
The peony card and your Oakwood samples have a vintage feel which I love the monochromatic Lavinia card is exquisite
Great Livinia images and super cute scene you created with them. I am so happy for the update on Daisy. Gorgeous peony image and it looks amazing in blue.
Your Lavinia card is gorgeous, beautifully stamped in such lovely shades of blue. So pleased that the prognosis for Daisy looks hopeful- I'm sure she will be well looked after and monitored! So glad she enjoyed her chicken dinner, bless her.
xx
All beautiful cards and stamps Brenda-good news on Daisy and wishing her a speedy recovery

Again a treat to find so many of your makes here! You now what my favorite is; blue and Lavinia on one card... Hope you have a good weekend!
I was ooooing over your first card but then I got to the second with the beautiful blue peony. Love this one. I am trying to get back into blogging and have loads of unshown makes from the past 2 years. I might have something suitable. Pleased to hear that Daisy is doing ok. hugs Mrs A.
Lots of beautiful creations Brenda, love those beautiful blues and a wonderful display of Oakwood shares!
Good to hear Daisy found her appetite and that her treatment/surgery was successful!
WOW!
The first one is just lovely!
I really like the peonies!
The shades of blue are fantastic!
The parchment paper with sentiment is perfect.
Great use of burlap on the fourth!
The die cut edge on the last one is nice, and great color combo!
Glad to hear that Daisy's on the road to recovery!
Hope you are well!
Great set of cards today. I am glad I am not the only one that forgets how I did something! I am also glad that Daisy is feeling better. Hope she makes a full recovery xx
More lovelies Brenda, particularly that Lavinia scene. I have everything crossed for Daisy and hope that the chicken soon gets her back on her feet! x
Ciao cara Brenda, innanzitutto sono molto felice che Daisy stia bene dopo l'operazione e che abbia mangiato il suo pollo speciale!! Dita incrociate che le operazioni siano finite. Falle una carezza da parte mia.
La tua card scenica con i timbri di Lavinia dei toni del blu è davvero speciale, una vera opera d'arte piena di magia e di pace. Non so come tu possa aver ottenuto tutte quelle tonalità di blu con solo un DI e un inchiostro di stampa, è davvero spettacolare e una ulteriore prova del tuo grande talento. Ovviamente, è la mia preferita del post!
La card con la peonia è molto delicata e un po' vintage, bellissimo l'effetto della candeggina con successiva coloritura e quel bordo strappato è un dettaglio così bello!
Mi piace lo stile romantico e rustico della terza cad con il rotolo antico!
Nella quarta card i cuori di juta per contornare le lettere, lo splendido sfondo e quel nastro con il cuore sul fiocchetto sono deliziosamente femminili!
L'embossing bianco e il bordo tratteggiato (ho un punch per bordi con un motivo simile) dell'ultima card attirano molto l'attenzione.
Come sempre, hai lavorato molto e con passione, un bel p' di ispirazioni per noi! Grazie.
Buon inizio di settimana, abbracci!
Such lovely cards, Brenda. I love that peony with sparkle.
Brenda this is a fabulous selection - I love your blue fairie scene - that is amazing! Love the floral blue on also - so glad I am not the only one with backgrounds that I have forgotten how I made :)
Your three other cards are also a feast for the eyes - your talent knows no end!
Glad to hear that Daisy appears to be on the mend - poor pup.
Blessings
Maxine
As usual you created a fabulous scene with the Lavinia stamps! Love the peonies card too and the delicate Oakwood make.
Have a great sunday Brenda. x
As usual - there's a lovely collection of art on your lovely cards B.
Thank you for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. Once you've finished playing on the swings, you're welcome to join the usual suspects up in the Treehouse for a hot beverage and toasted crumpets in the Sunday Morning Breakfast Club! xxx
Stunning fairy card - so magical!
All cards are beautiful;-))m
Beautiful cards Brenda and your fairy cards are always amazing. Pleased to hear Daisy is eating again, I know our two love chicken but they don't get spoilt with a M&S one, it's usually Aldi :) xx
Hello Brenda, pleased to hear Daisy's op went well, always a worry with animals...your collection of cards and stunning as usual..
Anne
Wow! Busy bee! Lovely show of cards brenda, but of course my favourite has to be the lavinia one...just love her stamps and you have created a wonderful scene. I admire how you seem able to pull things together so well. I spend more time deliberating than creating..lol! xx
Bautiful cards, such gorgeous detail and inking. I really love your scroll - that's very clever.
P.S. Buster, my Border Terrier says he loves roast chiken and he hopes Daisy is feeling better xxx
Wow.. Brenda.. What a fabulous set of cards. My favourite is the first one, absolutely stunning!
Hugs,
Conny
A beautiful collection of cards Brenda. So glad to hear the good news about Daisy.
Sue xx
Marvelous collection of beautiful cards, Brenda! I especially LOVE your Lavinia card with the incredible monochrome theme and lovely masking. But it is the Believe card with those amazing Stampendous Peonies! I'm glad to hear about Daisy! Many years ago, our kitty was diagnosed with a malignant thyroid tumor. We had the vet remove it despite the fact that he said it would only prolong his life by a year or two. Fast forward another 16 years! That kitty was a great pet and lived to the ripe old age of 21. Just wanted you to hear a positive story! LOL
big hugs,
de
Beautiful blue toned cards Brenda and a fabulous selection in the remainder of your post too, you are a very prolific crafter and I admire how much you create and share here.
Lorraine
Another fantastic set of cards Brenda .. so much loveliness it is hard to know where to start to comment!! I particularly love the tone on tone look of the Lavinia card, though I also love the scroll effect one.
Pauline xx
OH! I'm, so glad to hear the good news from the vet Brenda. You all must be so happy too.
Your cards are amazing, Love them all, but the Lavinia has the edge with the scroll card methinks. Although the blue and the pinks agree very beautiful too.
Faith x
Stunning card as always B! So talented and each obne a piece of artwork. Good news about sweet Daisy - fingers and toes are crossed here. And, it's so lovely to see you in the Snippets Playground with Sarn and myself - your sweet words are really appreciated.
Hugs
