Thinking of You

 

This image reminds me of our last cat,he could be aloof or extremely demanding,growing more affectionate as he grew older.He was a wonderful companion and loved coming a walk when we were out with the dog,they were great chums.

Image from Making cards a simple layout to let it shine.

Naughty at the Alphabet Challenge

A big Thank You to everyone who visits and kindly leaves a comment, I really appreciate the time you take to do so.


Today's Challenge at The Alphabet Challenge is N for Naughty  and was chosen by Dawn. I found this image on a free Making card CD and wished it had been of a dog, a long search later I still had't found one so used the cat image, the "try and stop me" part of the sentiment was computer generated.

Our first dog was a German Shepherd who was a fantastic character but a terrible "thief " anything and everything to eat was fair game, he did eventually learn not to steal, but many a meal  was spoiled as he'd swiped the meat.

Do visit the challenge and see the cards there.

 Today's Challenge at Make My Monday chosen by Amy who would like to see a project beginning with the letter B. My card uses an image from a Making Cards Free CD.

Masculine at Crafty Calendar

Hi and welcome to my post for the new  Challenge at Crafty Calendar.This month at Crafty Calendar we are sponsored by 

and the theme is make it masculine.

I used an image from a free Making Cards Cd teaming it with a sentiment from TLC. This sentiment has special meaning for the recipient as his "good " ideas always involve me doing something I hate, ie going on roller coasters that loop the loop several times. 

Do drop in to be inspired the DT cards for this month, hope to see you there.

New Home

Good morning from a wild and windy part of Scotland, I hope the weather is not too bad wherever you are. My card is really Springlike with the tits taking up residence in a new home. We have several exploring our nest boxes at the moment so fingers crossed they nest in them, it's lovely seeing the chicks emerge from the nest.

Scottie

This sweet image was on a free Cd from Making Cards earlier this year. I teamed him with embossed backgrounds , the folder's from Crafter's Companion, Lili of the Valley digi sentiments and some tartan ribbon. When I looked at it after adding the sentiment tags I thought it would have made a great New Years card.

Welcome to Maureen my newest follower,I hope you enjoy your visits.
