My cat Molly is on the mend after her accident, she is getting very bored in her cage and wants to play, so thats a great sign. Only another five weeks, until she can come out. Apparently, you can buy on-line, dvd's to play to poorly animals to keep them amused, they are of fish swimming, mice eating and birds flying! Talk about teasing them!

Moving Along With TheTimes, Challenge # 14, Hazel's Sketch & Theme

Hello, am slightly late with uploading this as I have been at work all day and nursing my poorly puss. Thanks for all of the lovely comments, Molly is feeling alot better, is standing up and purring loudly, so she is definately, on the mend!

This week over at Moving Along With The Times , the lovely Hazel had to job of making the sketch and deciding on the theme. To celebrate 'Stictly Come Dancing' back on the box, her theme is 'Strictly Sparkling'. I have put quite a bit of bling on my slider card, unfortunately my photo hasn't picked it up very well. The lovely Julie has offered a great prize this week, so do pop on over and join in!

My card, 'Fairy Doodles' images, fairy, butterfly and sentiment, coloured in with Copic's, 'Pretty Please' papers, Bazzill Turquoise cardstock, Doodlebug trim and Kaisercraft bling. I have edged all around with a 'Momento' inkpad - 'Rosebud' and lots of 'Fairy Dust'.

Have just watched 'Strictly', lots of men this evening. I am loving Ricky Groves and Natalie Cassidy danced her heart out, good start to a new series, looking forward to seeing the Latin dances tommorrow, good for a laugh if nothing else, lol!

Have a great weekend, will be back with a Pollycraft card on Sunday, hugs Heidi xx

Papertake Weekly Challenge # 24

Evening, I am so pleased that I managed to get this challenge done this evening, I do love the Papertake Weekly Challenge sketches and I really enjoyed making this card, do pop over to get some terrific inspiration for all of the DT cards.

Card recipe: CC Designs 'Heidi amoung the flowers' stamp, Green 'Bazzill Bling', Magnolia 'Pink Muffin Dot' and 'Pink Chef Plaid' papers, Nesties 'Labels 9', Anita's Green Ribbon, Kaisercraft 'bling', Woodware 'Frond' and small 'Daisy' punch and a metal charm sentiment from my stash box. I have coloured my namesake in with Copic Ciao's.

On a sad note, my beloved cat Molly was, we believe, run over on Tuesday, after being missing for 24 hours. We found her injured in someone's garden and after a long night at the vet's, she has a fractured pelvis and lots of bruising. We have to keep her locked in a large cage for six weeks, so that her pelvis heals. She is very sore today, but a little better, and is eating well. I am sure she will be getting very fat, as Georgia keeps feeding her treats to 'make her feel better' lol! My neighbours have been real stars and were even out in force to help us, I know a couple of them look at my blog, so a massive thanks to them for their help.

Had better go check on the patient, thanks for stopping by, hope you are all having a great week, at least the weather has been pretty good today. Heidi xxx
