Very Sad Day

Today we lost our beautiful greyhound Perry, he was 12 years old. We rescued him from a horrible racing life(in my opinion it should be banned)! when he was three and he has been an absolute delight to have as a pet. He first became ill about five months ago and we have known since then that he would not get better, but somehow that does not really help. We have been lucky that the steroids he was on meant he could enjoy the last few months with a good quality of life, sadly the tablets just stopped working. He was without doubt a gentle giant with an amazing spirit and he was loved so much by us and he will be sorely missed.

We do still have our mongrel Max, not sure what he is going to make of it either.

Sorry to write such a misog post, but just felt he deserved it!!

Take Care

Use a Digi Image Fab N Funky DT Card

Hello

Yippee its Wednesday, half way to the weekend and time for another challenge which you chose at Fab N Funky. This week we are using a digi image and we are very kindly sponsored by Soft Pencil. The image I have used is Michu and Christmas Tree, make sure you check out the rest of the fab DT cards to see some more designs!!

I have used Basicgrey paper from the Eskimo Kisses collection, it is just gorgeous. I have punched some snowflakes using Kars medium and small punch and covered them (and myself) in twinklets and cosmic shimmer, topped with a little metal thingy(have now idea of the technical name) and a gem, you can get a good look in the close up pic. The tree is stickled and boy does this card glow on my mantle-piece.

I am entering this into 2 challenges,

Basicgrey - Sparkles

CES - Get a Hat

I hope you like it, I will look forward to visiting you to see your wonderful creations.

Enjoy

I'm Not Square!!

Two posts for me today, hubby has been really helpful, he has cooked a lovely hotpot,
run the hoover round and done a bit of ironing!! I on the other hand have not done very much really!!

This weeks challenge at PBSC is 'Don't Be Square' umm my fav card to use. So after much deliberation I have done a flowerpot card LOl! (my kids tell me off for using LOl apparently it really is not very cool!!) The tutorial for these can be found on splitcoast stampers under the resources section. I have made these before with the flowers but thought the little hedgie would look quite cute in it. He is from the 'Tiny Wishes' stamp set and the papers are Bo-Bunny.

Thanks for popping in

Well a Girls got to Shop!!!

Hello

I was having a good morning today until my blasted computer played me up!! 25 minutes it has taken just to load google, SOO frustrating!!

Never mind, seems ok for now, I think a little slurp of something a bit stronger than coffee may be required!! LOl

Anyway here is my entry for Sketch Saturday and I must admit I really like this layout. The image is from dig stamp boutique and is Lullabelle Shopping, oh there are so many digi's on there I want! The paper is from Bo-Bunnys. I hope you like it.

Thanks for all the lovely comments left for me recently, I love reading them!!

Take Care

Good Start to the Weekend!!

Hello

Its National Cardmakers Day today!! This is a lovely swap organised over on the docrafts website. Everyone got paired up with a buddy and you just made a card so that you had something to open today!! Great idea I think, it was fun. This is the card to I sent to my buddy, a lovely lady called Shona.

Oh and I won(randomly picked) at Penny Black Saturday Challenge, and so I get to choose 4 rolls of ribbon, and I do love my ribbon so really happy about that!
Will be back this evening with a challenge card, I hope!
