Morning everyone, a new challenge at Allsorts and my turn to choose the theme, so being totally transparent there could only be one for this time of year 'It has to be Spring' - well I've never made any secret it's my favourite season.
No hospital procedures, cancelled again, long story and I'll explode if I start to explain. Instead I've succumbed to a Crohn's flare along with a UTI, so not feeling my best.
Your probably all fed up with seeing these Highlight/TRR Daffodils but promise this is the last one....for a while anyway. They are the last batch from all those I cut and decoupaged back at Christmas, it's a fairly large tall DL base, an oval die used to cut out the partial aperture and the blooms arranged. A coordinating sheet of MCS rice paper and a really old Tattered Lace sentiment which is actually on the inside of the card although it's not apparent, I should really have taken a second photo of the card open.
Another using the Crocus (624) from AALL and Create, stamped into a masked oxide panel, stamped and then the flower head stamped a second time onto inky card, cut out on the S&C and a strip of washi tape to ground the flower.
Many thanks for your kind visits and words of encouragement, always much appreciated.
Gorgeous cards.
ReplyDeleteNearly all snow gone and some first spring flowers are blooming as crocus In deep blue.
Beautiful cards, Brenda! Itching to ink up the Crocus stamp I received this week thanks you again for my Allsorts win!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your procedure has been cancelled again, seems to be par for the course these days, I guess the unending strikes have seriously impacted the whole NHS. x
I'm not at all fed up with seeing this lovely flower on your cards. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSimply UNBELIEVABLE about your op cancellation AGAIN! I'm gutted for you - and very sorry to hear that you have a Crohn's flare up on top of everything else. Sending gentle hugs your way xxx
These lovely cards certainly shout 'Spring' - beautiful 😊. So sorry to hear of your problems, take care.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your daffodil makes Brenda,it's my favourite Spring flower, the depth of colour on the crocus is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read that your procedure was cancelled again,whatever happened to the oath to do no harm
Very pretty intricate daffodil card with a wonderful sentiment Brenda, and gorgeous inky crocus creation.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about this latest cancellation to your procedure … the delays you’re suffering have been beyond outrageous given the pain and debilitation you’re having to put up with. Not to mention the psychological roller coaster of keep psyching up for the op and then being let down multiple times. Shame on the NHS!
Sending hugs xx
such beautiful cards Brenda....gr karin
ReplyDeleteI will never tire of seeing those gorgeous daffodils. They're stunning and a beautiful arrangement on this card. The crocus is the first sign of spring too and that's also a lovely creation. I'm so sorry the medical system has let you down to suffer for so long. I wish you better health in the coming days with relief from all of this pain and discomfort. Hugs XO
ReplyDeleteOh Brenda - no wonder you have a Crohn's flare with all that stress... so sorry to hear that the health system is not being particularly wonderful for you!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are a testament to your resilience, and they are beautiful!! I particulalry love the crocus one.
Blessings

I hope you feel better soon! Your daffodil card is absolutely stunning, and there's no such thing as too many beautiful creations featuring those lovely flowers. The crocus card is equally charming, with such a creative use of masking and stamping to create a lovely spring scene. Take care of yourself and wishing you a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love crocuses and daffodils, stunning cards. This stamp od amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better soon.
Besautiful spring cards Brenda especially the gorgeous daffodils. So sorry your procedure was cancelled again, I do hope you are soon feeling better.

Two beautiful spring themed cards Brenda and no I never get tired of seeing daffodils, too bad they now finished blooming in my garden. A beautiful crocus card too, I never had much luck growing them, only one bloomed this year but do love seeing them as well.
ReplyDeleteI already mentioned I think, but so sorry you were once again let down by the healthcare system. Sending hugs!!
Wow! That daffodil card is absolutely stunning! Love the crocus one too.

So sorry to hear about your hospital visiti being cancelled again Brenda, it must be so annoying for you.
ReplyDeleteThose daffodils are gorgeous and I love the background you created for your lovely crocus. Hope you feel a bit better soon x
How could anyone get fed up looking at daffodils! My favourite spring flower because they remind me of my Mum, who absolutely loved them. The card is beautiful with the tumbling mass of decoupaged blooms. The crocus card is gorgeous too, love the green/yellow combo.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your procedure has been cancelled (yet again!). You must want to scream!!!

Really sorry your appointment was cancelled again. Love the lovely spring colours in your cards. Sending healing prayers. Anesha x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you are not feeling great and your procedure has been cancelled again. You must be feeling very fed up. Your cards are lovely and bright and cheery today, so I hope that helps. The sun has been shining and the blossom is amazing. I have also been enjoying the lilac, which really is very early I think. We must enjoy it while we can, it is turning cold again tomorrow xx
ReplyDeleteSimply Beautiful cards! Love those gorgeous Daffodils!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely unbelievable your procedures have been cancelled again and no wonder your health is suffering!!!Gorgeous cards love all the beautiful decoupaged daffodils and the crocus.

Ciao Brenda, sono molto dispiaciuta che ti hanno di novo cancellato l'appuntamento!!
ReplyDeleteIo non mi annoierò mai di vedere quei bellissimi narcisi TRR! :) Una splendida composizione e l'apertura parziale dà ancora più dimensione all'intera card, credo che aprendola l'effetto sia davvero bellissimo!
La card con il crocus è molto luminosa e il fiore è ritagliato alla perfezione, sono molto ammirata da come lavora la Scan and Cut! Sicuramente è un grande aiuto!
Qui fa molto caldo, le spiagge sono affollate e domani sono previsti 30°!! Che cambiamento improvviso!!
Ti auguro una bella Domenica di sole per poterti godere il tuo stupendo giardino!
Un abbraccio
I will never get tired of daffodils or crocus!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors!
The crocus are done here, but the daffodils are going strong!
Tulips are also ready to burst into bloom!
Sorry to hear about another delay!
Stay strong!
Stunning and cheering card dear B, despite your flare up and explode-worthy cancellation yet again. Truly, truly sorry... will pray harder good news is SOON forthcoming.
ReplyDeleteFlare ups of chronic conditions are the pits. I don't know how you keep blogging through it all. I can't.. and my op wasn't cancelled.
Mercifully different here, and double blessing,.. my leg (if not my system) is recovering well.
Praying and sending big prayer hugs from Downunder.
Shaz in Oz.x ❤️🙏❤️
A beautiful spring display. I wondered about that die sentiment...
ReplyDeleteHello Brenda, I'm sorry to hear that your procedure has yet again been cancelled, so frustrating for you. Hope the UTI clears up soon for you, such painful condition.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so beautiful, I certainly done get bored looking at them, take care, Kate x
Brenda, your springy cards are full of the freshness and aliveness with which Mother Nature gifts us each year. I can smell the happy earth releasing her treasures, hear the little bugs delightfully dancing, and thrill in the amazing textures and colors. I hear you regarding the frustrations of the body’s rebellion, the endless manner in which we must accommodate other people’s convenience when it comes to appointments, and trying to keep a happy soul despite unpleasant circumstances and hardship. Brenda, thanks for giving so much of yourself to the rest of us. You are remarkable. hugzzzzz, de
ReplyDeleteWhat a dreadful blow that you've been cancelled again together with a flare up and UTI. No wonder you aren't feeling your best. Beautiful spring cards Brenda and I do believe it is finally here. Two days without any rain here so Martin has managed to chain harrow and roll the paddocks xx
ReplyDeleteSpring is always such a lovely cheerful season with everything waking up after the winter. Gorgeous spring floral cards. Sending lots of virtual positive healing vibes. Emmax
