Monochrome Cat

Hi everyone (is there still anyone following this blog)?

Just thought I would stop by and show you a card I made recently for my MIL Birthday which is two days after mine.

I have used a stamp from a set that was purchased from another blog person, but unfortunately there are no details as to what brand or the name of the stamp set, something is saying 'Woodware' to me, so if any one can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

CARD RECIPE

Image: Unknown stamp set ~ can anyone help me identify it?
Backing papers: DCWV All Dressed Up paper pad
Sentiment: Craftwork Cards ~ 'Mini Messages Birthday ~ Black'
Gems from stash

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:

Fashionable Stamping Challenges ~ Challenge #85 Animals

So that's me for today ~ my hour is up!  You may well ask why only an hour?  Well, one of my friends on the Friendly Beardie club Facebook page posted that she was doing these 'hourglass' challenges 'Interested Ears'.   Basically you get a box or tin or anything really and write loads of different chores and nice things to do in an hour and put each piece of paper in the box/tin.  Each day you pull one of the bits of paper and do that chore/nice thing for an hour.  I have to say it works for me, so far I have done all my paper shredding, cleaned two ovens and have now blogged ~ fantastic idea.

Thank you for visiting and any comments you may leave.

Love

My Heart Belongs To Daddy!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and that for most of us the white stuff has gone away ~ hurray!

Thank you to everyone who sent such lovely messages after Majik's 'incident' which was documented in my last post.

The saga continues however.  Yesterday I battled blizzard conditions to return to the vets for a second check up since Majik had her accident ~ Hubby and myself were both hoping that she would get signed off, but after the vet manipulated her shoulder and made her cry with pain yet again, she has recommended an X-ray to see what we are actually dealing with, as she put it "Majik is still significantly sore'.  This will require a general anaesthetic, which does not please me at all, but I think the vet is right we need to know what is going on so that the appropriate course of action can then be applied.  I have booked her in for next Tuesday (so I might as well right that day off ~ I am always in bits when one of them has to go under anaesthetic).

Today I am sharing a card that I made for Majik to give to Hubby for Valentines day ~ I know sad or wot! 

I am not sure about the photograph, it was taken using my shiny new 'pop up' photo tent complete with lights ~ a Christmas present from my Dad and Stepmother.  You would have been ROFL if you could have seen me trying to set it up, as very helpfully there were no instructions ~ you won't believe how may ways there are to fold a photo tent!

Birthday Girl!

Hi everyone,


Today I am sharing a card that I made for my gorgeous dog Majik for her 5th birthday, I know totally soppy, but I don't have children so I have to spoil someone.  This is another first for me because I am going to attempt to enter a challenge with this card, the challenge is Wags 'n Whiskers Anything Goes.

So, I have taken one of my cut down white hammered card blanks and then layered this with a square of brown Bazzil Basics and another square of white hammered card.  The image is Whimsey Stamps 'Cupcake Bliss', this was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured with Copics.  The image was cut out and mounted onto a rectangle of bone patterned DCWV 'The Pets Stack' paper and more brown Bazzil Basics card.  The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with a Stampin' Up oval punch.  I added pink ribbon and the paw brad from my stash.


Again apologies for the photo, hopefully when enlarged it will look a little better!
