Good Morning Ladies,
Just a quickie from me today, my anxiety is through the roof, it's because I'm going to the Doctors, it's so silly and frustrating as hell but i cant control it, I've tried convincing myself that I'm being irrational, that doesn't work either!! Luckily i managed to get in With a Dr that's familiar with my history so no going back over all the things that really stress me out. I will let you know the out come.
Today's card was made last Thursday while i was playing around with the 'Avant Garden' stamp set from Stampin' Up! .
I stamped the flower stamp with Wisteria Wonder ink pad, once with 1st generation ink and then beside that in 2nd generation ink (stamped again without re-invent), this gives the look of different shades of flowers, actually the ink was that rich i could have stamped twice more. I carried on round to form a wreath shape, then added some foliage and dots from the same stamp set. I mounted this onto Wisteria Wonder card and then onto a card blank. I then created a banner with Wisteria Wonder card and layered it into some white. To decorate i reached for my Botanical Builder dies set and cut a flower and some foliage.
I hope you like it, i also hope the recipient likes it too !!
I hope you are all ok, are any more of you going to share your craft space? I have Tracy's photo so far and Michele's original, just snap and send if you can, no cheating and having a tidy round first !!
Right I must go and get ready,
Love and hugs,
Sandra

Morning Sandra,
ReplyDeleteLovely card this morning, the stamps are pretty awesome.
Have to take Tiegan to the dentist this morning, emergency appt, so I hope they on time as have my REA meeting at 10. I had previously arranged with my walking buddy Rosie to give her a lift and then we are going to lunch afterwards as I thought I had a whole day to myself. Best laid plans, mice and men don't always work. I'll have to drop Rosie off to the meeting afterwards before I take Tiegan onto school and be late myself.
Wide awake this morning at 4am, even though I set the alarm for 7.30am. I shall be shattered later.
Cuppa first then shower and breakfast.
Love 7 hugs

Hello Sandra and everyone,
ReplyDeleteSandra I am saying my prayers, also got everything crossed as well for you! I'm please it's the Doctor who knows your history, it's horrible going over past medical history. Most of us would sooner forget it. Sending love and very caring hugs.xx
Today's card is lovely, love the colours you have used. I've been looking on Pinterest, there are so many cards using these dies, I have started to build up my saves for inspiration.
LYNDA, what a day you had, and you still have to return. Hope the stronger medication helps Terry. Sending love and ((((((hugs)))))) to you both. xx
MARIA, sorry to read you have been poorly, I hope you are feeling better today, and your voice return soon. xx
We are all up early today, I have my appointment with gynaecology at 10:40 this morning so need to get a wiggle on.
Will try and pop back later. Sending carding hugs to everyone. I have left extra ones in the basket by the fire, (just in case you need one or two xx)
Take care, Love Brenda xxx

Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteSANDRA what a very pretty card to start our day. I love those stamps. They are so versatile aren't they. I'm sure the recipient will love it.
Will be by your side today for your GP visit. Take deep breaths and slowly does it.
K&N was full of laughter yesterday afternoon. It just shows that a little bit of warm sunshine lifts everyone's spirits.
Not sure what today will bring apart from having to empty my craft bag from yesterday and hopefully take a pic of my craft table before I have to tidy up as the piano tuner is coming tomorrow afternoon. That's if he can get to the piano Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.
The CAFE is OPEN for the day. I'll pop back later to see what's happening. Herman has done a grand job nibbling all the grass Maria.
Hugs on their way to everyone xxxx

Hi Margaret
DeleteYes we are so shattered it's sitting on those hard seats for 6 hours it's more tiering than digging the garden. HaHa.
Thank you so much for the lovely card it came today so kind of you really appreciate all the hug's too.
Love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra and ladies.
ReplyDeleteI love plain n simple cards. Love the colours on it.
Love to all xx
Just to update you all GP has arranged for me to go have X-rays on both hips, so they can get an idea of level of deterioration, she will then organise referral and sort out an OT review too. I feel exhausted mentally, but it's done now, thank you all for caring xxx
ReplyDeletePleased to hear you are having both hips xrayed, you have taken that first step, well done.xxx
DeleteThank you for letting us know. Pleased that you are going to have a follow up appointment and investigation. Hope and pray you haven't got to wait ages for these appointment. LOL xxx
DeleteSandra thanks for updating us. It's good they are X-raying both hips.
DeleteI hope you don't have to wait long for a appointment.
Love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the Dr has referred you for an X-ray. Can you just take a letter to Witney Hospital like we do?. That's so easy as you can just sit and wait your turn.
Sorry Janet seemed to have missed your cards yesterday. As usual they are lovely.
Love today's card Sandra. The stamp sets from Stampin up are great aren't they.
We register Ellis's death tomorrow then we can sort out the funeral.
Apparently we see the Professor re Pete with the Dr on Monday, as we had a letter from the hospital yesterday with regards to his last appointment and the results. Not good reading I must say.
Pat not a nice day for you to tomorrow having to register Ellis's.death.
DeleteThinking of you all hope all goes well.
Love Lynda xx
At last! I have had so much trouble getting on to this blog today The others have been fine
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous and even more beautiful in real life as I am the proud owner Thank you I need your link again to be able to order StampinUp stuff Couldn't find you on the web site
I'm glad you got along ok at dr's I was able to take my letter and get x-rayed straightaway
MInd has gone blank so big hugs to all of those that need them xx
Hi Sandra & ladies
ReplyDeleteMy comment from earlier seems to have vanished again must be loads of comments floating around in space.
I have commented on way down.
Karen how lucky are you owning this gorgeous card of Sandra's xx
Still feel shattered after the last couple of days Sitting up hospital for hours on end. We have had some lovely sunshine. Shame we couldn't go out for a walk but never mind. Right I'm going to make a start on the CC for a bit.
Love Lynda xx
Hi Sandra and everyone.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been absent for a long while. No real reason apart from my crafting mojo going totally AWOL for a few months. I'm pleased to say I'm slowly getting back into it and hope to be able to get back to normal fairly soon!
I do hope everyone has been keeping well, and sending hugs to anyone who is not too well.
Sandra, I hope you're ok, and you get the X-Ray's done soon. Thinking of you X
Your card today is lovely. It looks like you are thriving with the Stampin Up business - really pleased for you 🙂
I like the sound of your challenge for this week - can make no promises, but if I get chance I may try and take part.
Anyway, will try to pop back in again soon. Thinking of you all and sending hugs xxx
Hi Sonia,
DeleteIt is lovely to see you back in cafe, you have been missed. Hope to see some of your cards soon. Take care love & hugs Margaret.xxx
