Maria's 1st Animal Challenge card





Good Morning Ladies,

Wow what an absolutely glorious day we were treated to yesterday, bit chilly to start with but the sun came out and stayed out for pretty much the rest of the day.  Which I was super relieved about as we have had another orphan lamb, Matt bought if back on Saturday evening and boy is she loud, she is a fraction of the size of our three little girls but can out 'baa' them without a doubt! 

Today's card is Maria's Animal themed Challenge card from last weeks challenge, I didn't see it in time to add it for Sunday so it can have it's day today and then I will share the other card that Maria made.
Maria has layered that adorable dog topper onto some perfectly matching card and then put a beautiful lace trimmed frame around the image, the card the frame is made from looks really textured, I absolutely love that die cut sentiment Maria, the font is gorgeous.
Thank you so much for such a lovely animal card Maria, like you, none of my cards are 'quick cards', regardless what technique I use!  
Thanks again my lovely XXX

Bit of a surprise today as Sue is coming over a day early this week, (could be something to do with tomorrow being some kind of special day I guess)  I'm not complaining though, it will be nice to have someone to talk to and chat with. xxx

I must admit I must have had my head under a rock as far as Sarah Davies is concerned, I had no idea about any plagiarism etc, other than the Sheena thing, I will say that I was only really aware of what she did in the early days, as I said before I am no big Crafters Companion consumer.  In those early days she was remarkably successful for someone so young.  I must do a bit of research.....

I hope that you all have a lovely day,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra

  1. Morning Everyone
    Yesterday turned out to be reasonable after lunch but it's still lovely to be back here for the peace and quiet.

    I managed to make a start on my CC for this week and am hoping to get finished today then I can go and play outside tomorrow if the weather is good to us.
    Jim has bought me a stool and some medium length gardening tools so I can work in my flower borders. YEH

    HUGS are on their way to you all with loads of extras for all Dear Friends in need of them.
    Have a good day everyone whatever you all have planned. Take care and stay safe.xxxx

  5. Morning everyone.
    Thanks for liking my card ladies. A very easy one to do as it all there. It's from Craftuprint.
    Thank you Sandra for all you do and I wish you and Sue have a lovely day together.
    Cheryl- so sorry to see you are in so much pain. I was told too that they can't do anything until I'm crippled, hmmm Why not try to get a second opinion Cheryl. hugs.
    Lilian- please take care and I hope you got some help soon for your back and other pains, gentle hugs.
    I'm going in to town today to meet a friend who need some help and then I think I go for a haircut, nicer to have it shorter for the summer, I might look at the die cut mag as well, would be a shame not to Lol
    Sending hugs to you all and extras for you who need some.
    Love Maria xx
