Good morning everyone. Hope you're all well and looking forward to this Indian Summer we are supposed to be about to have.
Apologies for being missing from posting (bit of a rough week) but I have tried to keep up my visits to your blogs.
Thank you you to June and Maggie for clicking the "follow" button. June has kindly been commenting for a while and Maggie (Silvercrafter Blog) was one of the lovely ladies I met when Darnell came over to the UK in July.
I must also say welcome to some new ladies who have commented and been very kind.
Now, I know we are in September and I'm still showing samples I made for John's May/June show and I know this is featuring August's Child but there is only one more after this, promise lol!!! I know you're a forgiving bunch so you won't mind, will you???
Ingredients
CE ivory and rich plum card
SB Swirl Stripe Panel
SB Fancy Postage Stamps die
Sue Wilson Ara Mini Gemini
John Lockwood Summers Child Stamp (sentiment)
John Lockwood Nasturtium Everyday Sentiments (swirly stamp at the bottom)
Mei Flower plum ribbon
Memento Dew Drop Sweet Plum ink pad
This is a simple card to layer up but it was one of my favourite samples.
I hope you don't mind but I just thought I would show these beautiful flowers that arrived at a point where I was feeling particularly sorry for myself a couple of weeks ago. I apologise for the picture quality but I snapped them on my tablet. . . . . . . . .
A huge thank you to my wee pal Kate (Cuilliesocks) for cheering me up no end.
Thank you to all of you for your kind, concerned and encouraging comments. Its always touched me that you take the time to visit and leave comments but during the last couple of months, its been appreciated more than ever. (I would have just said I was touched but I know that would leave the door open for Maureen lol!!!)
I hope it wont be so long until next time. Be good!!!

Update
Sadly, another spell in hospital as pulse went bonkers again last week and a couple of issues with the anticoagulant doing its job too well, so that's why I hadn't posted for a while.
Keeping everything crossed for things settling down.
A stunning card Ang the colours are so rich and great for posting too.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had another hiccup John did mention it in his show.
I hope you can enjoy the weather this week take care and hugs to you xxx
Morning Ang, sorry to hear that you had another bad spell, hope you recover very soon. Beautiful card, not seen this shade before on a card, but works really well!! Janice xx http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteMorning Ang,
ReplyDeleteOh dear you are really going through the mill, hope you are soon feeling in the pink.
Beautiful card.

Oh Gosh Ang you are having a tough time of things. I do hope that things will start to improve for you and they get your medication sorted out quickly.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful and I can understand why John asks you to help with his displays. You are a talented lady.
Keep well.
Hugs Wendyx
good morning Ang and sorry to hear you have had another bad week. Hopefully you are in the final straight to getting all the meds working nicely together. Unusual colouring in this card but all works so well together, love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteHello Ang, so sorry to hear things are going a bit bumpy again, hope it gets sorted soon. Love this card, beautiful colours. Take care. Bx
ReplyDeleteHello Ang, I've been worried as you went AWOL without warning and I couldn't get in touch with you (no, I will be not making any comments about touching!!) I'm sorry to read that things have been going haywire again, and hopefully they'll sort things out properly for you.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful and I can see it more clearly now as I had a cataract removed last Monday, and this Monday is my 29th birthday. My daughter Rachel who is 47 disputes my age, but I take no notice of her ha ha.
You take care and don't go mad (or madder).

Good Morning to you Ang, beautiful card, and a fabulous design. So elegant and stylish, take care of yourself, Kate x 😉
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Ang - you are really having a time of it. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It often takes a while to get drugs situated to the right dose. You keep on keeping on Sugar and know that everything will work out.

Beeyuutiful card and flowers, Ang! I'm glad you felt well enough to post them, but so sorry that your new doc/new meds didn't put you on a permanent even keel. It's no fun and scary and it's been going on for too long. I've got everything crossed and prayers being said that everything gets sorted soon and you can put this behind you. Sending lots of love and big hugs, my friend, Darnell
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card, Ang. I was concerned when John said you had not been well again so it is good to see this post. Friends are so important in times like these.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes

Not sure how I missed this post yesterday but it is a truly lovely card. I reckon you get NHS withdrawel symptoms which is why youkeep going back. Joking aside - hope things start to pick up soon! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeleteI am definitely not fed up with your lovely Lockers sample cards as they all so gorgeous.
Love the super colour choice of this one, and the very super design also.
I do love thos fab stamps of John's as they definitely hit the button on their sayings as my Mum was an August child and that describes her to the tee.
Oh you poor thing having another spell in hospital.
I do feel for you as I hate being a hospital patient.
Isn't Kate just a very super lady to have sent you those wonderful flowers.
Love and big hugs from my house to yours.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful card Ang. Sorry I am slow to comment - got my first cold of the season and it knocked me out for a few days! I am so sorry to hear you were back in the hospital! Prayers and hugs for you to get completely well!
ReplyDeleteDonna
Another beautiful creation!! Keeping you in y prayers for a fast recovery! Big hugs!
