Westie Thank You

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying what looks suspiciously like Spring weather.

I have a quick share today a Thank You card.

This is a very simple card for someone who owns a Westie.

Hi everyone,

Happy Easter Part Two!

Hi everyone,

As I mentioned in my previous post I have two Easter cards to share with you ~ belatedly!

We were in North Wales over the Easter weekend and had a thoroughly nice time too ~ we are not go-away people, preferring our own company and home ~ besides with three dogs there are not many places we can land ourselves (the dogs don't do kennels) ~ but staying with my Dad and Stepmom was great and the dogs loved walkies on the beach.

So, here is card number two made for my Dad and Stepmom.

As you can see, it is a variation on the previous card, just made in a different colour way.

Happy Easter

Hi everyone,

Firstly many thanks for all your lovely comments ~ I love reading them and thoroughly appreciate the time you all take out to comment ~ I know how precious time is.

Today I am sharing two Easter cards that I made ~ I know I am late, but we were away at Easter and not being blog savvy I hadn't scheduled a post to coincide with Easter itself!

This is the first card ~ made for my Mom.

Majik Says Thank You!

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is well and staying warm in this awful cold weather here in the UK.

I have a quick share with you all today ~ if you are a regular follower of my blog you will already have formed the opinion that I am completely mad as far as my dogs go, but this extends to the rest of my family and Majik got a card and a cheque off her 'Nan' (my Mom) for her Birthday!!!!

Being a very polite Beardie she insisted on sending a Thank You card in return, which I was duly commissioned to make ....

The brief was for the card to be simple in design but to convey the message succinctly.

This is what I came up with, Majik was chuffed to bits and so was my Mom - lol.

CARD RECIPE

Image: Inkadinkado 'Paw Print' (sadly I can't find a supplier of this stamp now)
Cardstock: Bazzil Basics
Sentiment: Papertrey Ink ~ 'Happy Trails'
Ink Used on Image: Memento ~ 'London Fog'

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

365 Cards ~ Day 84 ~ 'Time's Up'

Thank you for stopping by today ~ have a nice evening.

Happy Birthday Majik

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.  We have had the builders in for two weeks now and there is potentially still another week to go!  I am fed up of being frozen to death as they constantly leave the front door open ~ by the time Hubby gets home I am so cold we need to light a fire to get me thawed out again ~ lol.

Today I have a card which I made for Majik's 6th Birthday which was last week.  As soon as I saw these Katy Sue Designs 'Shaggy Dog Tails' new stamp sets I knew I had to have them all.  Although the dogs on the stamps are supposed to be Old English Sheepdogs ~ I knew I could adapt them to look like Bearded Collies.

Thank you for visiting my blog and once again for all your lovely comments which are always much appreciated.

Mother's Day Trio & Kai

Hi everyone,

Firstly, thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post ~ I do appreciate it.

Today I have a quick post to reveal exactly why I needed four Mother's Day cards in total!

One for my Stepmom

One for MIL

One for Majik's Mom ~ Isla Beardie!

I am going to be ultra lazy with this post and not list all the ingredient for the cards ~ but if anyone wants to know anything then just contact me and I'll let you know (providing I know where it came from)!

I am in a hurry because the 'builders' are back and they are working in the loft where all the cables for the internet and literally everything else run through, so I am expecting to be discombobulated any time soon!

The good news is Kai is back ~ he is an honorary member of the pack here having arrived at ten weeks old with Richard the builder when we had all the other work done on the house ~ he spent the first few months of his life running around with the Beardies in our garden and here is a photo of him.

Here's Looking At You!

So, many thanks for stopping by ~ I will be back once these cables are sorted and I am connected again.
