Create With Critters

Hello!

So the Wednesday challenge at SimonSays Stamp is to create with critters... Well, I made this card a week or so ago and though I didn't use the featured Lawn Fawn products, it does include a cat

 

I was trying out my new copics to colour the kitty and using up some spare die cuts 

He's like my ginger cat... Sleeps most of the time

 

He does like to play but throw him a piece of string and he forgets to let go! 

I hope you are enjoying your day... Blogger is still playing up for us Safari users so I'm sticking to Firefox for now

Till soon

Best Friends

Hello and good morning

I've always had cats and I also owned a couple of German Shepherds which I absolutely adore!

Now I no longer have my beautiful dogs or the cats from those days... Though as you know we still have a few rescue cats, but I miss my dogs soooo much

My dogs always got on well with the cats ... Cat's rule! 

This is an old photo of my dog Holly with my cat Lisa

Why am I telling you all this? Well, because it is the basis of today's card... 

When I saw that Try It On Tuesday's challenge is silhouettes -

It gave me the idea

You know I love using silhouettes, they feature on many of my cards and here's what I came up with

 

I cut the silhouettes out on the Cameo and did a little sponging

 Amazingly (for me) this turned out a one layered card with a little stamping and some punched out hearts

I really hope that one day I will be reunited with my pets ...

Wishing you a lovely day - free from blogger problems at least!

City Crafter 295

Well hello!

It's my turn to host the challenge at City Crafter this week and I have chosen a photo inspiration challenge for us

Source

Create a card or project taking inspiration from this photo and tell us what inspired you

It could be the colours, teapot, snowdrops or even the numbers...

Based on the colours, here's what I came up with .. This card was sent to a dear blog friend who recently got a new job

 

I love shades of grey and the pattern on the teapot made me think of this digital paper I have from Pink Petticoat...

I got in the green and the shade of those Palmier biscuits translated into those sweet little birds

Our Guest designer this week is the lovely Dora Dora was our winner in week 289 - Do go visit her blog she makes beautiful cards and don't forget to visit the City Crafter blog too ... We have lots more inspiration for you there and we are looking forward to seeing what you come up with ...

Have a wonderful Day!

Blue

Hello...

Our lovely Mandy has picked the prompt for this week at

Our Beautiful World

The word is Blue

I took these photos on Friday ... Blue skies overhead...

...But don't be fooled- It's really cold!

The garden swings waits forlorn...

Along with the cold and wet garden table, hoping for warmer weather ...

This is my kind of blue

...The kind that comes with hot weather, strolling along the harbours where fishing nets are brightly coloured and the pace is slow

Hop on over to the Blog to see what my friends are sharing this week and why not link up with us too?

Enjoy your day

Butterflies

Hello and Good Afternoon...

Having just celebrated my birthday, I'm in need of a few "Thank You" cards...City Crafter's challenge this week is to use a butterfly which I did on my DT project and I thought why not use butterflies for my Thank You cards?

... I used digital stamps which I bought from hero Arts many years ago and used my new Copics to colour them

The 'Thanks' die is by Lil'Inkers and you can't really see from the photos but I added a Wink of Stella to each butterfly and IRL they do sparkle... 

It's pouring with rain again here - I can't wait until Spring when the butterflies return to the garden, I hope it's not too long...

Wishing you a wonderful day

Till soon

Thank You and Love

Hello....

Thanks soooo much to all of you who left me comments, birthday wishes and for all the lovely cards and gifts I received yesterday... What wonderful, kind and talented friends you are and I am so grateful for each and everyone of you....

I had a lovely birthday dinner last night at a restaurant with my husband, nephew and of course my son ... It was a really good evening.

I have a simple card to share 

 Just some sponging and stencilling

This is for my friend's anniversary but it seemed appropriate for you too

Thank you once again and have a beautiful day/evening

Hugs
