Creature Comforts

Hi all hope you are well, we are doing ok

after the loss of Mel the Hamster.

We had a little ceremony in the garden 

under the Apple tree. I was doing ok until the kids 

started to cry and then that set me off.

It's funny how much you can get attached to 

these little bundles of fur. Boo Hoo!
sniff! sniff!

Anyway onto this weeks
Papertake weekly challenge

Our theme this week is 

Creature Comforts

sponsored by Wendy's Digital Delights.

We want to see projects that feature 

animals, cute or anything you like really as long 

as there is an animal involved.

This tied in nicely as i had to make a card for Beth's 

friend at school it was her 11th Birthday and 

she adores Tatty Teddy.

The Tatty Teddy stamp was a freebie with a

magazine i have used promarkers to colour it in,

in shades of Ice grey.

Stamped round the edge with a stars and balloon

stamp off the same freebie set.

The papers are from Bearly Mine.

I made the ribbon strip with matching card and

Dots embossing folder that came with the stamp.

Hearts are from a Martha Stewart punch.

Ribbon is seam binding from The Ribbon Girl.

She really liked he card.

Thanks for stopping by today

Camper crazy

 

Hi all hope you are well, It's a bit

sad here today, the kiddies Hamster

Mel isn't doing very well (old age)

i don't think she will be with us much longer,

So they were feeling sad this morning, bless.

 

on a lighter note i have had

a play finally with my camper van stamp i

got ages ago, it has never even been out of the 

packet so i think it was about time.

 

Over at I Heart Promarkers challenge this week

they have a theme of Travel/ Transport. so that was

my excuse to have a play.

I have used a mixture of Pro and the new Flex 

Markers to colour it in i hope that still counts.

The background paper is an image

i got off the internet.

Sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Magnolia doily flower.

Martha Stewart branch and flower border punch.

Inked around the edge with Warn Lipstick distress ink.

I am also going to enter it into this weeks 

Creative Inspiration - Anything goes.

I felt like having a bit of a bake yesterday,

i got a new nozzle and wanted to try it.

The nozzle is great, looks so professional,

it's a Wilton Rose 2D.
all i did then is give them a sprinkle
of edible glitter. 
No doubt they won't last long with my three.lol.
