More Sunny Sunflowers


Morning all, another quick post with my mid month shares for Tag-Along (and ATC's) where along with Anything Goes we also have the theme of In the Garden.

My tag and ATC follow a similar design using Sunflowers from  the new Lavinia Twilight Tea collection, base tag above is AALL and Create, in black as I love the contrast of black and yellow. Aud Sentiments challenge has the option of Tags or Christmas in July, so I'm going with the first.


My apologies I've not been the best of bloggers the last week or two, the new migraine drugs have given some unpleasant side affects includinHemiplegic migraines, the reverse of what was expected. Unstable glucose levels as well, a hypo Saturday evening and monitor bleeping constantly with drastic swings so sleep in short supply. We'll see what the Diabetic Nurse has to say when she comes again tomorrow, never thought the day would come when my MS was the least of my concerns!

  7. Beautiful tag and ATC Brenda, the sunflower stamps are gorgeous, so bright and cheerful, can see they are going to get a LOT of use! Still resisting at the moment as haven't used the last lot of Lavinia stamps I 'needed' yet!
    Hope you feel better soon- sometimes the side effects are worse than the condition the drugs are meant to be treating...Hopefully you'll be able to catch up on some sleep now that it's cooling down a bit.

  12. Gorgeous sunny makes, sunflowers always make one smile.

    Well Ive come to the conclusion most of these medications cause more problems than they help....I know you had high hopes for the new migraine drugs so hope this is just a blip before they settle down. Sending you lots of positive healing vibes. Emmax

  17. Oh dear Brenda . . . I am sorry to learn of your most recent problems. I really hope something can be done to help you. Never heard of that type of migraine - so looked it up - and it sounds extremely unpleasant. I hope you feel better soon.

    Your beautiful sunflower tag and ATC are wonderfully summery. xxx

  20. Lovely, lovely sunflowers Brenda on this super tag and ATC. Connor (our youngest) and Amelia are getting married in September 2026 and I have been asked to make their invitations. The inspiration comes from sunflower buttons so I think these new stamps might be an absolute necessary purchase!! Hope Heskeys visit from the vet went well xx

  24. A stunning tag there Brenda - like you I love your contrast of black and yellow.
    What a lot to cope with - drugs can do nasty (unintended) things - I have had some reactions of late, which included a couple of migraines - one lasting for four days. Not my norm at all
    Blessings

  25. Fabulous work with more beautiful sunflowers Brenda. Although I am so sad to hear that things are not going well with the new tablets. Let's hope they sort you out soon, it's not good to be having so many side effects. Take care. Thinking of you. x

  27. These sunny projects cheered me up today, Brenda, and I love how you inked up the backgrounds - perfect for the flowers and leaves. I'm so sorry to hear of the continuing health problems and hope they can review dosages, etc, to get everything working well together. The sentiment on your tag is very appropriate.
    Sending hugs your way,

  28. Your sunflowers radiate such warmth and joy, Brenda! The contrast of black with the vivid yellows is absolutely striking—it creates a bold yet elegant garden vibe that's both grounded and glowing. The way you've unified your tag and ATC design really speaks to the thoughtful care you put into crafting each piece. Hoping the coming days bring more ease and comfort your way.
