Togetherness....

Hello all and I hope that you've had a good week - and for those of us in the UK, that you've enjoyed a pleasant Bank Holiday!  My husband flew off (very) early yesterday to Abu Dhabi for work for a week - so it's just the offspring, furry beasts and me holding the fort!  It's been the usual busy week, and I've been trying to get my garden sorted too, so at least I've not got time to be bored. Tilly the Dog is ok - still on a high dose of steroids for another week and then back to the vet. The medication has definitely helped her although she still has spells of 'wobbliness' and seems to topple over, but she's pottering along and seems quite happy. She's been helping me in the garden in her usual fashion, i.e. standing on plants, trying to eat bird food, barking at frogs, etc.  I'm just a bit more nervous when she goes near the pond as I really don't relish the idea of dragging her out if she loses her balance and falls in - I can't imagine it would do the frogs much good either!  So we'll go back to the vet in a week, but as long as she's ok we'll just take things a day at a time.

Anyway, just thought I'd share this card with you that I made with one of my favourite Bella and Bronte digi stamps from Mo's Digital pencil


I've coloured the stamp with copics and promarkers

It's such a cute image - and Bronte definitely bears more than a passing resemblance to Tilly the Dog, complete with a tubby tummy, but always ready to play, join in and provide kisses when needed! 
The backing paper is from K&Co and I've used some satin sheen paper for the die cut flowers, using Spellbinders blooms dies.  The sentiment stamp is from LOTV and the ribbon and pearls are from stash.
Hope you like it.
I'll be heading round Blogland this week to catch up with all your creations - and thank you so much for all your lovely comments, they are very special and mean so much.
Back soon,
Kim x

  12. I'm with you. I'd be worried about her being near the pond too. It's good to hear she's up and about her usual gardening techniques. LOL. Love your card. The images of these two are always faves of mine. I think everyone can put their own Bronte in the picture. Hugs!
