Good morning folks. Hope this finds you all very well.
As you may hopefully have seen, I made some samples for Lockers, featuring his wonderful new stamp sets as John was on holiday just prior to his Hochanda shows and I was more than happy to help.
So this is the start of The14 Cards of Lockwood. . . . . . .its a bit like The12 Days of Christmas without any laying geese or ladies dancing.
Now, this one seemed to get a lot of airtime on the shows and it was one of my favourites.
Ingredients
Cream card
Blue card (2 shades) All card is CE Foundation card but I'm not good with the colour names
CE Linen embossing folder
SB Fancy Postage Stamps dies
John Lockwood Nasturtium Everyday Elements stamps (corners and sentiment - sentiment inked without the border round it)
Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Sky PVA Pearls
Memento Dew Drop Paris Dusk ink
I hope that you all enjoyed John's shows. . . . . .wasn't his shirt amazing??? The stamps and products were fantastic to work with and I was flattered that John trusted me again to help.
I will apologise in advance that my blog posts/visits may be a bit sporadic for the forseeable as I have had a bit of a health scare. . . . . short story, ambulanced to hospital Sunday and admitted with a heart problem (Atrial Fibrillation with RVR). I'm home again now with medication but having to go for a heart scan next week.
The whole episode scared me witless and exhausted me so I will visit you and post when I feel up to it, if that's ok.
Most of this post was already prepped to go so I've only had to add a few sentances.
This past 12 months have been my unhealthiest. . . . . . .If I was a horse, I'd be at the glue or Fray Bentos factory lol!!!
Before I go, I just wanted to wish my chum Davey a Happy 70th Birthday for today (he's in Oz but may still be reading his). I will feature his cards at a later date but hopefully he has taken them with him.
So sorry in advance for any down time but very tired at the moment so please bear with me.
TTFN

Oh Ang, I am so sorry to hear that you had this scare. I hope that you feel much better soon. Do try relax, we will always stop by, but if you don't feel up to the blog we will understand. Love the cards you did for John, and this one in particular. Take care now. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Ang
ReplyDeleteGoodness! Hope you feel better soon. Just take care of yourself and do what you need to do. The cards on the show the other night were fab, so I'm looking forward to having a closer look. But all in good time. Take it easy. Best wishes, Anne O
Hello, I think this is my first time in commenting on your blog but I read it regularly. Your cards were amazing and it was lovely John gave you credited on the show for making them. I enjoyed watching every show yesterday and was even tempted to buy SB dies and can't wait for them to come. Like you I have had a health scare (a blocked heart valve) recently and it has frightened me especially has I live alone. I am so grateful for my crafting be it cards, patchwork, crochet or knitting. I will visit often and please don't put pressure on yourself to post, take care and relax when you can.

Stunning card Ang, beautiful dies and design, I only managed to see one show and didn't see this one,but I love it,you take things easy, Kate x
ReplyDeleteHello Ang,
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer!!! Take it easy, do what they tell you and take the medication. That's my advice, for what it's worth. I know it frightens you when they tell you something like that, but you can't keep a good duck down.
I admired the way that John's shirt seemed to match the stamps and the colours of a lot of the cards, clever man. I laughed when he called you Mrs Duck!!! does he say that to you, or call you Ang?
Take care, you will get tired but try not to worry.
love Maureen xxxx
Hi Ang I saw some of your cards on the show! fabulous work and his shirt of course and I chuckled when he called you Mrs Duck! I shouted to Paul and said that's Ang would we met at the NEC!!! lol I hope your feeling better we now have something in common because I suffer from that as well and take meds..it's frightening when it happens isn't it??? so slow down take care and put your feet up...say's me who is never still lol lots of huggles Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm behind myself, Ang, and have only just read this. I'm terribly sorry to hear that you have had another health issue heaped on your plate, especially one so very scary and serious.
