Morning everyone, Saturday morning and time for a new challenge at Allsorts and this week Lolo would like to see 'Anything but Square. Prizes come from Stampendous and will go into the February draws.
Youngest son has been in and out of hospital again, his ketone's went dangerously high, thankfully a change of insulin stabilised things. My Dad had Brittle Diabetes, then myself, eldest daughter diagnosed last year and now Alex (other siblings worried!). And my planned procedure this week cancelled the evening before, imaging machine in theatre broke, no new date yet, am going to have to try and craft one handed as going stir crazy!
Above one I made some weeks ago for Highligh Crafts Flower of the Month for January which launches today. Lots of decoupage and a new Highlight stencil used on the base.

these are gorgeous cards and the colors are so vibrant.. I see it just at Create and craft these flowers, Fab Brenda......gr karin
Beautiful selection of floral makes - roll on Spring!
Fabulous cards, Brenda, I love the depth created with the flowers, the colours of the sweet peas and the shapes of the cards.
Sorry to hear about your latest news, you don't need that kind of worry on top of your flare up, nor a delay in treatment! x
Stunning flower cards in fabulous shapes!
All the best for you all;-))m
Gorgeous creations Brenda, love the colours of those sweet peas! so sorry to hear your visit was cancelled. Let's hope it's not too long a wait x
They are all so pretty and colourful. I think my fav is the first one with the riot of daffodils.
A trio of bright and beautiful floral cards Brenda, a promise of spring and the summer to come.
I can only imagine how frustrating it must be not to be able to use your hands properly, hope you don't have to wait much longer for that cancelled procedure.

Such beautiful cards Brenda I especially like the daffodils and the Sweet Peas are gorgeous. Sorry about your son hope he is now sorted and everything goes well. A shame your procedure was cancelled at the last minute hope you get another appointment soon.

What a wonderful collection of creations with all those pretty flowers! I just love how that pretty bow is nestled into the daffodils in the first creation. I also like the fact that the sweet peas brought back so many cherished memories of your father too. Sending healing hugs your way for better days ahead for you and your family. I hope you find improvement soon and I'm happy your youngest son found relief too!. Take good care.
Wowza the imagery on these card and papers is incredible. So eye catching and your layering is perfect to really bring the cards to life.
WOW, WOW, WOW, I am gobsmacked by the stunning array of creations they are exceptionally beautiful I don't think I have the words to express how wonderful these are stupendous work Brenda. I am so very sorry that health issues assail your family it seems never ending what you are all going through especially you Brenda I have always admired your strength I still do I really do not know how you keep going with all that you have to do, I am sending loving vibes to you and your family and pray that all will be well

All such beautiful floral cards Brenda, such wonderful dimension on each!
Crafting one handed is so hard I can only imagine, it was so hard for my to craft without my right thumb and I know my deep downward cut would have healed faster if I hadn't tried using that hand at all which would have meant no crafting as not possible with just the left hand. Not the same issue as you have but I totally understand your need to wanting to craft so we try what we can. Hopefully you can get an appointment soon!! Good luck and best wishes to your son as well as I'm sure it's so hard to figure things out but hopefully with your experience and that of your daughter he will learn to manage the diagnosis well.
Dearest B.,
Im sorry for all medical challenges for yourself and your dear ones, praying you manage 🙏 one handed and have surgery successfully soon.
These are stunningly beautiful cards, a blessing you work so prolifically as well as beautifully well ahead.
Praying successful op soon on agenda with zero machine malfunctions.
I grow sweet peas every year along our North facing fence, and give most away, as the oldies love the bunches mixed with some early roses.
2 weeks ago with another rose loving friend we scored a great saving as our local nursery had a carpark sale. Our potted roses (5 for me, 4 for for her) were $5 each. Online prices varied from $22 to $50 each for them dry rooted!
Best saving ever.
God is so good.
She took her 4 potted roses home in her car for 6hrs trip along with some other bargains at local opportunity shops (charity store think you call them). She was visiting for a week, as it's a hot summer here, is lovely swimming weather. Blessed indeed with our beaches.
Prayer hugs,
Shaz in Oz. X
Stunning "Anything but square" makes Brenda. Glorious artwork and the sweet peas really are beautiful xx
All fabulous cards and love the beautiful sweet peas-one of my favourite flowers-but your first card is absolutely AMAZING!!!

I do hope you get your procedure soon and that Alex's condition stabilises. Stunning collection of cards. You are always so good with colour xx
Ciao Brenda, quante meraviglie ci mostri oggi, nonostante tutto!!! Meno male che hai lavorato molto prima, così hai potuto pubblicare tutti questi lavori strepitosi, sono molto contenta di poterli ammirare! Una promessa di primavera con bellissimi fiori e quei colori così vibranti!
La easel card con i narcisi è davvero gloriosa, quanto lavoro di decoupage hai fatto, ha un effetto 3D spettacolare! E quel fiocco centrale è perfetto per dare l'idea del bouquet! La scatola esagonale con il coperchio trasparente traforato a nido d'ape e la splendida ghirlanda di fiori sul bordo, più la card coordinata sono un progetto bellissimo e molto ispiratore, così come le cards con i piselli dolci, che meraviglie!! Sono rimasta a bocca aperta. Adoro tutto e specialmente la card a tunnel con la "rilegatura" a lato e i nastri coordinati!
Così dolce ricordare tuo Papà per questi fiori!
Una mano sola non è abbastanza per creare altre meraviglie, forse qualcuno della tua famiglia potrebbe aiutarti mentre aspetti che la macchina per il monitoraggio della procedura per il braccio sinistro sia di nuovo funzionante?
Preghiere per te e Alex, che troviate finalmente un po' di pace!
Ti abbraccio
An wonderful collection of cards, Brenda. I love the sweet pea cards, they brought back memories of when I was in hospital for the birth of my daughter many years ago. My three year old niece came in clutching a bunch of sweet peas from her garden for me. (In the days when flowers were allowed in hospital.) The perfume was amazing! xx
I really like all the brightness!
Lovely projects!
Sorry to hear you and your son are still having a rough go!
Hope things get better!
Keep on keeping on!
What exquisite work Brenda - you constantly amaze me with your results! I too love Sweetpeas, and your work using the graphics is amazing.
So sorry to hear your procedure was cancelled - how frustrating!
I could well imagine your other offspring being worried about diabetes with that family history, and a second sibling affected.
Blessings
Maxine
Gosh wow wow wow your cards Brenda are stunning love the floral images and the designs x

Stunning 3D cards in your post Brenda, the Daffodil wreath is my favourite though. I might have to treat myself to that set.
Take care,
Lorraine
Really wonderful flower/spring cards, Brenda!
Hope things get better!
Hugs,
Conny
What wonderful creations Brenda . Sweet peas are my favourite flower and your cards inspired me to get the USB ,main collection sold out . Do hope you are feeling a little better and that your son is improving . Roll on the warmer weather Jx
Gorgeous creations Brenda - they are all fabulous but my favourite has to be the daffodils - there is so much detail they are absolutely stunning! Hope your son is getting better, and that you will soon get a revised date for your hospital visit.

Such intricate work on all the projects shown here B.
Sorry to hear your procedure was cancelled. Hope it can be rescheduled quickly. Gosh, crafting one handed is nigh on impossible. You are a trooper. xxx
Beautifully unique floral creations! I've always loved Sweet Peas, too. We sure need a cure for diabetes! Sorry your procedure had to be canceled. I'm sure you'll find a way to craft one handed, but it's not easy in my experience after my shoulder surgery. I couldn't go 6 weeks without making a card, though!
Fun cards! They all look so fresh and colorful! Hope you will be a bit better soon! Sending some positive energy to you! Hugs, Gerrina
Beautiful cards! Must have taken ages to make - you are one patient lady, Jo x
These are all gorgeous Brenda! Love all the colours of the creations. Fantastic work as allways. Marlies x
beautiful cards, playing catch up here.
