Fairy Good & Woody's Vet Visit

The fairy image is from Lili of the Valley, coloured with Whisper pens with an added touch of clear Stickles on the wings.  Patterened papers are from scrap drawer, flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Butterfly confetti, peel offs and gems are from stash.  Tools used are Nesties, chalk inks and MS Border Punch.  The challenges covered are:-

• Deep Ocean Challenge  -  Fantasy World
• The Sweet Stop  -  Sketch & Numbers
• Stampin' for the Weekend  -  Photo Inspiration

Woody had his first visit to the vets yesterday, he was a very good boy getting his jags and Mrs Vet gave him a good check over.  Unfortunately she discovered he has dis-formed elbows, the poor mite.  We knew when we got him there was something up with his front legs, but it doesn't stop him getting about - if anything he is the wildest of the three at that age!!  The vet said that only time will tell how it will affect him, probably in the form of arthritis.  It just means he has to get lots of extra cuddles ...lol...

Stampin' for the weekend - 30th

Hello folks, have had a lovely easy day today, caught up with some of my TV programmes on i-player.  It is quite a clever little thing - was playing it though Baza's Playstation 3 so I could watch them on the telly instead of the PC.  This is one of the card I had to make, the girl's birthday has passed now so I can blog it - always scared to do it before for some reason!!! The Challenge over at Stampin' for the Weekend is "Lets Celebrate".

I used one of the lovely Gorjuss Girls from Sugar Nellie (could just image myself in that pose on a chez-lounge.....lol).  The huge big black bow is from Poppicrafts, Backing Papers are from Daisy & Dandelion. Circles are by using my Nesties and charm, flowers & number peel-offs are from stash.
