Michele's Menagerie of Animal

 




Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well,  hopefully the extreme heat will be breaking today and the temperatures should come down slightly.   I heard on the news that a lot of Urgent care places were overwhelmed with people who got severely sun burnt, I guess that makes a difference to Covid symptoms!  I would say that people should be more careful but Soph got burnt legs so quickly on Tuesday even with sun cream.  Lord knows how people got on laying on a beach all day.  

We were woken with two more power cuts through the night Tuesday,  the first one lasted about 45 mins with smoke alarms peeping every five minutes, which drove me 🤪 crazy!  The first thing we noticed was the fan stopped running,  wow what a difference it made, in fact the girls were so hot upstairs they came down to sleep on the sofa, which gave Paul quite a shock when he went in first thing Wednesday morning! The second power cut lasted way longer but for some reason the smoke alarms didn't beep this time, which was concerning.  I was expecting to find defrosted freezers etc but all was well, we think power was off for 2 hours or so. Hopefully there will be no more. 

I was all animaled out this week so Michele offered me some of her Animal themed cards to share with you for inspiration, I really must look at getting an Ella’s Design CD-ROM or something similar featuring animals because the cards are so cute and so many people have pets these days. 

The expressions on some of those Dogs faces are hilarious and would make anyone smile, so you could send those cards for just about any occasion. 

The cute fox looks decoupaged,  so cute, lovely childs birthday card.

The final card today is almost definitely an Ella’s Design card, the papers all match perfectly and Michele's matting and layering is so precise! 

Thank you so much Michele for helping me out today and inspiring us all. XXX 


That's a for today Ladies, 

I hope that you all have a good day,

Love and Hugs to all of you,

Sandra                                                                                xxxxxx

    Love your cards MICHELE. Full of fun and just the thing for all ages.

    Yesterday was better heat wise but it's already well up the scale this morning.
    I have to get my CC photographed and sent off today - well that's the plan. All I need is a steady pair of hands and somewhere out of the glare.

    The CAFE is OPEN -usual hours- the freezers are full of ices etc too.
    HUGS are on their way to you all.PLEASE TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE.xxxx

    Thanks for sharing my animal cards. Didn’t realise just how many I had when I started looking!

    Another warm & sunny day here already. Fingers crossed that the workmen arrive today and finish the job, they messaged yesterday to say they couldn’t make it. We have plastic trim
    All over the lawn so we can’t cut the grass yet.

  5. Hello Sandra and ladies,

    WOW Michele what a brilliant selection of animal cards. I know I suggested this challenge but I struggle to make animal cards, so this is a mega challenge for me. I have looked through my magazine freebie stamps as Sandra suggested, found one set and to be truthful - they are sitting on my work area looking at me. ( I have not got the magazine they came with ) I hope I get inspired soon.

    I hope the power cuts in the night were the last you get. I bet electricity company has lots of irate customers on the phone, especially as if was so hot.

    Stay safe everyone. Hugs Brenda xxx
