Happy Sunday my friends. Hope everyone is well. I am just getting ready for the little visitors to be collected. I feel quite sad as the piggies are so beautiful. Also it will be the last time I will see little Sam squirrel before he goes out into the big wide world. There has been plenty of hugs and fusses today.
I am going to share a card with you which has taken me all week to make!!! that is how little time I have had to create and I also have a bad infection in my right thumb so have been in agony with that the past few days. I am really happy with it though and sometimes taking one's time can be good!!!.
I have decorated the inside of the card too and added one of the bears which I have layered. I have made it for my lovely Sister's Birthday in a couple of weeks time. Hope she likes it!.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have had an infection in your thumb I hope it's improving hun.
I was sad too when I read that Ben hadn't survived as was my daughter, I had shown her the photos and the post and she was rooting for him too. Such a happy ending for the squirrel though. How satisfying for you when all your hard work comes to fruition.

ReplyDeleteNow I'm being cheeky but do you remember where you purchased the square doilies from? Saw them on Victoria's blog and now yours and I want to purchase some - if you don't mind please let me know where you purchased them. Many thanks Karen x
Hi Karen thank you for your lovely comments hun. No worries and not being cheeky at all asking about the doilies. I got them from an EBAY seller called the Doily Dealer. Helena Wilson's email address is poppyscabindc@btinternet.com she sells then in 5", 8" and 10.5" squares and lots of other different shapes. They are so reasonably priced too and she gives multi buy discounts (99p and 5p for any extra purchases). If you have any problems getting hold of them Helen just email me and I will always get them for you. Hugs Clare xxx
DeleteHi Clare this is totally ACE I adore the image and what gorgeous colours and papers, I love it so much.
