Love is in the Air!

Ok so this post was meant to go live yesterday.....well we went out for a walk taking Nico with us & I ended up falling down the side of a really steep hill, after Nico decided he would fall down it....I managed to grab his tail to stop him falling any further & wedged my foot into the base of a tree to stop me....thankfully we didn't go any further as there was a busy road at the bottom!!!!! Still no idea how Nico's harness came off, but he is fine other than a bit smelly from the scare!! Me, well thats a totally different thing, sore back, hand, hip is killing!!!  But we are ok after our escapades! Katie was with me, but she just stood there with her mouth open lololol!!! Nige had gone off on his bike with his friend Ant, thankfully we had the car, so we went back to the car & sat still until they came back!

Ok so my last creation was a make for hubby for our 18th Wedding Anniversary....but I saw someone had made a gorgeous card using the freebie die from one of the mags! I decided I love Nige enough to make him two cards lolololol! 

So this make is for the latest challenge over at My Time To Craft, where the theme is....

SOMETHING THAT FLIES

birds, planes, bumbly bees, balloons etc

I can't remember the last time I made a card that didn't have a coloured image on it! 

Need to make more because I loved making this one!!

Congrats on your BEM!!

My DT creation this week is for a very special lady. Those of you who are regular visitors to my blog will know, Nige, myself & our youngest Katie volunteer at the local wildlife & raptor rescue centre 'Gentleshaw' well this card is for the boss lady, Jen!

Jen, is just awesome the lengths she goes to, to help an animal is far past what she should do. She even takes poorly beasties home to recuperate. I have seen pictures of her sofa covered in bird poop, from a baby owl (that would have died in the wild) she is hand rearing...Jen doesn't bat an eyelid!!!!
 I have seen video proof of a baby emu racing around her house with her springer spaniel Emily!! Just one awesome lady. Well this year at the Queens 90th birthday, she was awarded with a BEM!!! We are all so proud of her & I just wanted to let her know. I appreciate her from a personal point of view. If it wasn't for Jen, I wouldn't have my gorgeous fluff but Nico. So this make is to say congrats & thank you to my gorgeous friend Jen xxxx

My beautiful boy Nico xx
