Hello all, a non scheduled post, but still several scheduled ones in the pipeline till normal service resumes.
From my files for Snippets Playground, Gelli Plate background, Penny Black Poppy, Lavinia script, Butterfly A&C and photo below of my snippet. Also adding to Try it on Tuesday's Circles and backgrounds for Little Red Wagon.
Things were going well, then a kidney, followed by diverticular infections kicked in which was always a risk. But just got the OK for up to hour a day computer/crafting time to test the water with another MRI and consult next week, so prioritising is going to be a challenge but hope to do a few short blog visits.
Here's a few photos of what's in bloom this week.
Below, Pyracantha, Peony and first of many to come Lupin's.
Huge Rose, as big as my hand.

Love your card Brenda, very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy peonies have been and now gone for this year but my roses are blooming like never before, they actually look like cabbage roses and the scent is devine, yesterday a trip to the garden centre proved to be rather expensive but I have replaced my lupins and some red poppies I lost along with lots of bedding out plants for my baskets, I am dying to get them planted up today. Thankyou for sharing your gorgeous garden again. xx
Your poppy card feels so elegant with the soft Gelli Plate background setting off the beautifully stamped Penny Black bloom, and the delicate script and butterfly add such a graceful touch while the whole design has a serene, airy feel that pairs perfectly with the lovely garden photos you shared.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Brenda, The red poppy looks stunning against the green. Gorgeous photos from your garden, hope the weather continues to be sunny and you can sit and just relax and heal.
