I'm loving the pretty Eline's Huis Winter pastels collection at the moment ... the pretty colours remind me more of spring than winter ... I've done a few cards with this pack which I can share in the next few weeks ... mostly DT projects ... but today I have a card for a friend who is celebrating her wedding anniversary
See how pretty these papers are ... I'm particularly loving the blue
With all the new releases following CHA ... I can't wait until the UK suppliers get their stock ... I'm loving the Prima ranges and of course Melissa Frances ranges ...
I guess I really should use up all the papers I have first ...
On a different note ... do you ever watch a film and it stays with you ... I'm like that with books too ... I plucked up the courage to watch a film the other night called The Last Lions ... you all know I'm a big animal lover ... what I didn't know is that the Lion population has decreased from 450,000 to just 20,000 in the last 50 years ... due to our ever increasing population we are robbing them of their lives and their land ...
This film sees the perilous journey of a lioness ... a mother of 3 cubs and devoted to her mate ... as she fights for survival and to protect her young following an attack of a huge pack of rival lions that saw her mate fatally injured. It was gut wrenching, brutal, and at times hard to watch ...
Not for the first time I thought just how much we can learn from these beautiful creatures ... their parenting skills ... their love and devotion ... their courage and strength in the face of adversity ... and even the forgiveness she showed to her enemies ... It is a film that will stay with me for a long time to come ....
Thank you for stopping by and for all your sweet comments
Have a lovely weekend

Such a sweet card Ros.... is that swirl made from your silhoutte Cameo??? Hugs..xoxo
Your card is beautiful!
Pretty colours and design.
Yes we are treating the wild animals really bad... It's not only the lions but gorillas, elephants, rhinos etc. etc.
I love animals too and I agree, we have a lot to learn from the animals.
Hugs, Heidi:)
So pretty Ros. I love the glittered heart and fancy swirls. I can't wait for all the rest of the releases either. Only a select few are in stores here yet. :)
Hugs~
This card is just so incredibly lovely! !! LOVE the rosette with the heart...LOVE that fabulous bow...LOVE the colors...LOVE it ALL!! That film sounds very informative and moving! ! TFS!!
beautiful card Ros...
i'm an animal love too :D
i can't bear to watch shows
that show animals hurt or abused (even by their own species)...i know it happens, but it brings me
to tears...but these kinds of shows need to be produced, so we see what is
happening to our world!
thanks for sharing :D

Belo cartão! Adorei seus papéis...e seu grande coração brilhante!
Gorgeous card, Ros, I love the background paper you used! The movie sounds quite good. Unfortunately, there are so many animals that are becoming extinct. It is sad that man can not learn that the animals were and are here for a reason. Have a wonderful weekend.
This card is very romantic. I love your mixing of elements. SO pretty!I am looking forward to CHA releases as well.. SO many great lines coming out. My pocketbook will be taking a hit in the near future!
Have a great weekend:)
Beautiful card, those papers are gorgeous. I've never heard of that film, it is so sad to see beautiful wild animals dwindle in numbers, those figures are shocking.xxx
This card looks amazing Ros! That sparkly pink heart--mmm love it! Lovely! :-) Hugs!
Beautiful card for your friend!!!!
I used to watch documentary tv on animals too, it was amazing!!!
Perfect wedding card Ros, the glittery heart makes such a fine centrepiece. And to answer your question, oh yes, regularly! Sometimes you need a couple of days to shake off certain feelings after seeing something emotional... Have a great weekend, Ira x
Ros beautiful card love the swirls
Loveliness as usual. The papers are so beautiful. You're so right about the animals. We're destroying such beautiful and necessary parts of our world. I like a film that makes me think and stays with me. Where did you see it? x
Beautiful card! Love all the soft colors used to make it. And the lacy flourish embellishments too.
So pretty Ros! Love the shimmery heart and pretty patterned papers!
Gorgeous card, Ros! And as for the lions: there was an interesting article on the issue in one of the more recent National Geographic Magazines. I'll check whether I still have it - don't think so, though.
Oh Ros, your card is completely gorgeous, my friend!!! And also, I had no idea about the lion population...I remember when I was young seeing the movie Born Free...it was wonderful too.

Such a beautiful card, Ros. I love absolutely everything about it.
I didn't see that film. But like you, Ros, I'm an animal lover, and I would probably have been in tears if there was anything sad. We don't have any grandchildren, and I'm so soppy with our sons adoreable gentle giant Bull Mastiff x
What a lovely card. Such pretty papers and a pretty bow.. I get so emotional when I watch films with animals.. It really is sad what we are doing to them..
Hugs, Linda
Beautiful!! Love your "ingredients": polkadots, music notes, lace, glitter...
Hi Ros, I am well thanks and I hope you are too. I just love your anniversary card. It is really beautiful as are all your designs. Spring is here and yes, a warm two weeks ahead...wow! I can't watch animal cruelty. I hate humans being cruel to animals, but it is different in a way, when it is happening in the natural world the way nature intended.
Keep busy and have a brilliant week!
xxxx
Beautiful and romantic card. Lovely details and flourishes!
You are capable of mixing and mtaching in a wonderful way. I am in love.....
