Don't forget to fly....!


Morning everyone, it's mid month time at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations, with themes of Something New and a Mood board, along with the A/G option.

Above made just before my functionality went into decline, my 'new' is the Maple Leaf stamp from Lavinia. No crafting whatsoever since, although currently in London as youngest Son (Team GB athlete) in hospital, foot surgery followed by shock diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes.  


This one made some time back taking the colours, bird and flowers from the SS mood board.

My appreciation for your visits when I'm such a poor visitor at the moment,

Cara Brenda, questo è sicuramente un periodo orribile per te e per la tua famiglia, mi dispiace tantissimo!! Spero che l'operazione al piede di tuo figlio abbia pieno successo e che lui possa tornare alle sue corse, e in tempi brevi!
E ti auguro davvero tutto il meglio per la tua salute, prego che le manovre e le terapie ti facciano stare meglio al più presto.
Due cards spettacolari, come sempre mi stupisci per l'uso dei colori e i designs! Adoro la ghirlanda di Lavinia, così luminosa e dolce e quel sentiment è perfetto.
Bellissimo effetto vintage con il timbro AALL&Create e quella pagina con il poema di Lord Tennyson, adoro i bordi strappati e i colori. Deliziosa anche la busta.
((((Ti abbraccio))))

Hi Brenda, so sorry to hear the news of the diagnoses for your son, an absolutely bummer especially for an athlete, but livable with and many sportsmen/women have diabetes. I've had type 2 for many years, and manage it fairly well, except Christmas time 😄
Your Lavinia card is gorgeous, love the wreath and your lovely colours. Gorgeous floral card too, beautiful design, Kate x
