Morning everyone and first I must thank you for all your Birthday wishes and cards this week, if I've not done so I will get round to thanking you all but a tad déjà vu, nasty meds, kidney pain, migraines etc. But at least the sun has been shining which is wonderful.
At Allsorts Gail is hosting her first challenge since joining the team and has the fun theme of 'Way to Grow'. Prizes come from Highlight Crafts, AALL and Create and Stampendous.
Lots of different AALL and Create stamps The Great Outdoors (370), Flower Journey (904) and Elemental Notes (905), stencilled background using Digits Checked (110). I masked border stamped with Elemental Note, coloured ad cut out the wellies and sentiments form same set as the wellies with a pen nib to reflect the border. Popping to Path of Positivity with this one......and the Snippets Playground as the wellies, flowers, birdie and sentiments strips are all offcuts.
A card for the new Rudolph Days challenge, the bauble stencil which so many of us have is from Sweet Poppy, DI's to add the colour, Lavinia Rabbit and Hare and sentiment from my Christmas Magic stamp set (£16.99 here mounted, £14.99 unmounted, or from Create and Craft TV).

The garden themed card is so right for the 'way to grow' challenge and what a lovely idea to combine the Christmas stamps with the bauble stencil for the Rudolph Days. Two beautiful cards as always

Happy belated birthday - I have emailed you xx
Two lovely cards brenda, especially the bauble one. I have craved that stencil for ages, its beautiful. Sorry to hear you are not so well and sending wishes that you soon feel a lot better. xx
First of all, a very happy belated birthday to you! I wasn't aware it was your birthday and I'm sorry you're having to deal with nasty meds and pain, but hopefully the sunshine makes it all go away. I love the first card with your signature bird sitting on the sentiment panel an those boots filled with flowers. Very pretty card. The Christmas ornament is so lovely with the bunnies inside and the stencil work looks great too! Take care and have yourself the best possible weekend!
Your card showcases a delightful blend of creativity! The combination of AALL and Create stamps, stenciled background with Digits Checked, and the masked border stamped with Elemental Notes creates a richly detailed and textured design. The festive bauble stencil from Sweet Poppy, along with the Lavinia Rabbit and Hare images and sentiment from your Christmas Magic stamp set, adds a charming seasonal touch, perfect for the new Rudolph Days challenge.
Perfect card for the Way to Grow challenge! Lovely pinks and sparkle with the beige/vintage tones. Beautiful card with a wonderful quote. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Path of Positivity! ~Katrina
Both cards are really lovely Brenda.
So different too. Loving the muted shades on the wellies & flowers card, and the colourful nature of the Rudolph Day card. Pretty festive scene inside the bauble.
Hope you feel better soon xxx
Grown with love and endurance, methinks. Beautifully put together, Brenda. Then your bauble card with its lovely scene inside, beautiful use of the stencil and a beautiful sentiment too. x
Both card are gorgeous Brenda, love the wellie stamp on the first one and the lovely combination of the bauble and bunnies on the second.
Hope you are feeling better today. xx
Happy Belated Birthday Brenda, I hope you had a wonderful day and was spoiled rotten.
Both of your cards are wonderful, gorgeous designs and colours. Love especially the Sweet poppy bauble stencil with the little scene.
Lavinia are launching a new stamp release next week I think and they kook beautiful, take care Kate
Ciao Brenda, mi dispiace che il tuo compleanno purtroppo non sia stato libero da dolori, ma almeno il sole e il tuo profumato giardino ti hanno rallegrato un po'!
Quegli stivali da giardino pieni di fiori con il centro scintillante sono deliziosi e il pennino vero è sempre un dettaglio molto particolare ed interessante sulle tue cards!
La magica card di Natale con il coniglio e la lepre di Lavinia e il fiocco rosso è davvero festiva e vibrante, la adoro! Che bella scena e una palette stupenda! Quello stencil mi manca, dà davvero tante possibilità.

Happy belated Birthday Brenda. I hope your health will start to improve. Your cards are beautiful as allways. A lovely idea with the bauble on the Christmas one and a nice design with the garden theme one. Take care, Marlies
