POPPY LOVE & WESTIE CHRISTMAS

 Good morning all, firstly may I thank you with all my heart for the birthday wishes that you sent my mum, she had a lovely day.

Today I would like to share two cards with you the first is my Ching Chou Kuik FB DT card I have used the image POPPY LOVE the theme this month is Thank You, Thinking of You and remembrance, this week the DT were challenged to make a Shabby Chic card I hope that this passes.
I coloured the image with a mix of markers the papers are from my stash and I distressed the edges, I added a vintage style ribbon, lace, liquid pearls  and flower.


My second card is a Christmas one I have used the image WESTIE CHRISTMAS from Di's Digital Store I have coloured him with a mix of markers, the papers are Anne-Marie, I cut some extra shapes and added twine, I distressed the edges with TH Vintage Photo Ink die cut flower and leaves and added a sentiment.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:


Once again many thanks for your comments both on Facebook and here I actually did  not see my mum yesterday, I had had a dispute with the doctors receptionist the previous day and it upset me so much I was in tears for most of yesterday, I knew that most of the family would be seeing her and I am off to see her today.
I am taking a break from my Ching Chou Kuik DT duties as I feel I need more time to spend with mum, the scare we had a couple of weeks ago really shook me up and made me wake up to the fact just how old and vulnerable she is I have always thought that she would be with me forever.
Hugs to all, take care and stay safe.

Beautiful poppy love card with great coloring.
The Westie card is gorgeous too. Love the texture of the flower.
Sorry to read that you were too upset to visit your Mum on her birthday. I think it is a right decision to take a break from your DT duties, so you can spend more time with your Mum. 102 is very, very old and she will be vulnerable. I have the same with my mum. Last week she could have been infected with Covid and she had to stay at home. Luckily, it was false alarm, so today we went to "our" fishrestaurant to celebrate. She was so glad that she was able to make that trip again.
Lorraine, take good care of yourself and enjoy your mum as long as she is with you.

Two fabulous cards Lorraine, the first one is gorgeous and I love the cute image on the second one.
I'm glad your Mum had a lovely Birthday, I think perhaps you should insist on talking to the Practice Manager if you are having lots of problems with the receptionist, you might make more progress if you escalate things.
