A bunch of Roses and even more Poppies


Morning everyone, this week at Allsorts Lynn would love to see Bunches of Flowers with the alternative of an A/G option. Prizes from SizzixAALL and CreateAldridge CraftsLavinia and Ruth Hamilton Design.

Still working with one semi functioning eye, but hopefully all will be sorted with Tuesday's procedure. Above A&C In the Bucket, simply stamped and coloured and some stencilling in the background along with a sentiment from my Believe stamp set available from Create and Craft here or Stamp Addicts.


Roses and Iris's, both Flowers of the Month along with the Vase from Highlight Crafts, from memory January and March. The June one just released is the most beautiful Christmas Rose which is part of A Christmas Bouquet, but as always all dies are available individually if you want to choose. I cut the vase twice and welded together with hinges made from offcuts so it stands up as a vase.

Poppies continue to give a fabulous display in the garden this year, I adore the self set's growing alongside the Keksi (name in the Fens for Cow Parsley) as they compliment each other so well, these are growing on a bank and some almost five feet tall...


Happy weekend all.

Beautiful flowers all round, both on cards and in reality. I love to see 'wild' poppies and they are shown up well by the cow parsley.

I hope your eye is getting better every day. I love the happy colors on the first card. The second card reminds me of my great grandma. Many years ago after she had passed I was going through some old birthday cards and came across one that had $5 in it from her. I purchased a vase with that money and it is very similar to the vase in the second card. Really love the vase because it reminds me of her. Gorgeous card.

Beautiful floral cards Brenda and such lovely photos of your gorgeous poppies. I missed most of mine -they decided to bloom whist we were away- I knew it would happen! I did get to see the giant red ones (the few that managed to survive when the fence posts needed replacing earlier in the year- most of them got trampled to death!)
Hope all goes well for you on Tuesday.

Ciao Brenda, vedo che nonostante il tuo occhio non sia ancora del tutto a posto riesci a creare cose bellissime come sempre! La prima card è molto bella, ma quel vaso con gli iris e le rose è davvero straordinario!!! Non solo così bello e delicato, ma sta anche in piedi e questo lo rende prezioso! Non smetto mai di stupirmi per le meravigliose immagini e fustelle di TRR e di ammirarle!! Sono davvero straordinarie.
I tuoi papaveri sono uno spettacolo, credo che apprezzino il caldo di quest'anno!
Qui invece le piante iniziano già a soffrire un po'.
Passa un bel fine settimana e goditi la pace e le bellezze che ti circondano!
