Hi there. Sorry to have been late again with the challenge. Al is struggling again and it seems it is 2 steps forward, two steps back. It is hot here and the heat seems to increase his heart problems. Although he has a wonderful doctor, there are huge wait lists to get in to see a specialist, even when you are an existing patient.
The design team has been busy creating cards for your inspiration. I am amazed at their dedication as both ladies have just had Covid. I hope you will pop over to their blogs and leave them some comments on their lovely cards.
First up is Jenny at
Cardsarus Blog.
Jenny has made this wonderful non traditional coloured Christmas card. I think this card has such soft and very pretty colours! I like the fancy edge die cuts on this card too. The sheen on these papers is so beautiful and really adds to that Christmas sparkle feeling!
Jenny has made up a second card. I am loving the gold and various sheens she used for this Reindeer themed card. Once again she has used some great fancy edge dies on this card, a little different from the last ones, but so pretty as well.
Sue at Sues Crafty Corner blog
has made up several cards with the same design idea but using a variety of animals as the main image. I love each and every one of these!
I think the foxes are my fave but it is hard to choose!
This Pink and Main die is our prize this month. Next up is Mr Linky...you know what to do!!!
Sorry to hear that Al is struggling again. Hope he’ll soon get an appointment with the specialist.

ReplyDeleteThe DT made some fabulous cards again this month and to think they did this while dealing with Covid is amazing! Hope everyone (including Al) starts feeling better soon! We can all use a much-needed break from so much stress!
ReplyDeleteSoo sorry to hear that Al is not good, Mo, I pray he can see the dr very soon and that he copes better in the weather too .. a little bit of respite for you both 🙏🙏🙏 sorry I’ve been a bit AWOL this year, I’m really struggling to blog too. Cards are made but not much else some days…apart from home jobs.
ReplyDeleteSo nice though to comment on your bLog though so many I cannot now. Stunning cards by DT very clever work!

I'm so sorry to hear that Al is poorly, Mo. Thank you for keeping this going when you have so much to do/on your mind. And I send best wishes to Jenny and Sue, too, for a quick and full recovery from Covid. Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that Al is not doing so well, hope he starts to improve again soon. Lovely cards from your two design members.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, all that shimmer and shine on ALL of the cards is just beautiful! Purple is my fave color, but I still love Jenny's gold card more; elegant!! And Sue's birdie card is my fave! I am a bird nerd after all. lol
ReplyDeleteAnd I will keep you guys in my prayers!! hugs, Becca xoxo
Wow, how many amazing inspirations!! Can't choose a favourite!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your hubby, surely the heat isn't good but hope he improves quickly!
Hugs
So sorry that Al is struggling. I hope that things will improve and that the weather will cool. I love it when the DT takes the same basic design and does different version. So inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSending well wishes for Al and hugs for you as you care for him. So difficult when you can't get a speedy appointment slot. Praying for strength and healing!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful samples by your amazing helpers.....even as they have been suffering from Covid! Love the shimmery layers on Jenny's cards and the adorable critters on Sue's cards. Wonderful.
Thank you so much for this challenge that I look fwd to each month. I know it comes at a cost to you when you are so busy with all the things you are doing for Al and regular life duties! We all are most grateful and appreciate your generosity!!

Oh no--so sorry Al is having trouble. This heat is so miserable! Keep hearing of more & more people getting Covid. So disheartening, but we're continuing to take precautions in the hopes of not getting sick. On a happier note, all these cards bring me joy! Just love how elegant they all are! Cute prize this month! Take care, Maureen. Hugs, Greta
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards by both ladies and I think out of Sue's I like the foxes too. So sorry to hear hubby is not doing so well. Hope he improves soon x
ReplyDeleteOoh that's so sad to read this and l am sorry for Al and that the heat is effecting him l hope it settles and becomes less hot and Al does get to see someone very soon and isn't suffering for too much longer like you specify the list's get bigger and the time does too, beautiful cards from the Dt's l am only playing for fun sending you lots of love and hugs take care xx
ReplyDeleteSorry Al is suffering from setbacks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful DT work - for some reason I can't find Sue's blog.
Beautiful cards from the DT, great inspiration! Sorry to hear Al not doing too well at the moment, hope he doesn't have to wait to much longer for an appointment and feels better soon.

Sending good thoughts to you and your husband. I hope you get to see a specialist soon. Thanks so much for continuing the challenge. Beautiful work from the DT.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Rudolph Day challenge and all of the gorgeous inspiration cards by Jenny and Sue! I usually do more for Christmas in July but my craftroom is way too hot to spend any amount of time here. Bit of a cooler morning today so here I am!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read that Al has had a setback. We know all about doctor and specialist wait lists here in Nova Scotia - one-tenth of the province's population has no family doctor - there are over 100,000 people now on the wait list. Fortunately Brian did get a new doctor after his previous doctor left her practice so we have been blessed for sure. I hope Al receives an appointment soon. Sending hugs and get well wishes!
Hoping that Al sees the specialist soon. Wonderful DT cards. Just playing for fun
ReplyDeleteHugs

Hope things improve for Al soon. Wonderful cards from the Designers. Take care Maureen! xx
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating it must be to not get in to see the specialist when he needs it. I hope things improve soon and that he will start feeling better. These DT cards are so beautiful, and I think the foxes are my favorite too
ReplyDeleteThanks for another challenge, even as you're still struggling with Al's health issues. It always seem like it's up and down and one step forward, then one back. I hope he can get the treatment that he needs soon.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful cards from your design team, even through COVID illnesses, wow.
Hope Al feels better soon and take care of yourself too. Fab makes from the team. Happy Rudolf Days everyone. Hugz

Sorry to hear that Al is finding it hard at the moment and hope he picks up soon Mo.
