Now these are up to date.  We haven't been told yet what is the theme for August.  I hope to try and make some a little more 3D.

This is from the Docraft Digital Designer - Tulip and Friends folder - Pampered Pets.  The words and the borders are from my graphics programme.  Some gems have been added to the cats collar and dingle dangle and to the dogs coat.

 You will begin to think that I am obsessed with above source and folders but I must admit to liking all the contents and have used many of them.  Whilst my hand was at its worst and I was just using digital images  - Docraft Digital Designer, Serif and MCS proved to be a godsend.

I will have used all that I made quite soon and have already started some decoupage and stitching.  When will I try some parchment? - I don't know yet.

Back to the card.  I just loved these two sweet animals.  I don't have cats and don't want one but they are very very cute and a lot of my friends have them - and my daughter has two.  I love dogs and have always had them until I could no longer go walkies. A girlfriend of mine has this sort of dog. A Scottie? I think. Anyway these two sweeties were separate images and I put them to together to make the topper.

I hope all are well and are enjoying the slightly cooler weather.  I look forward to visiting your blogs and choosing my Top 3.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #89 - hosted by Jocelyn

 This is from the Hot Diggity Dog folder again - in Tulip and Friends from the Docraft Digital designer.

I have added the extra cupcakes and the rabbit from The Card Hut CDs.  The words come from Beccy's Place and the blue borders from my graphics programme.  A real mixture of sources.

This looks like the scene of a super little picnic but... I hope those aren't wasps flying around after the sweet treats.  I hate wasps with a passion and have the scars to prove it.

I hope all are well and that the promised heat wave isn't too serious.  My plants are looking a little sad already.

I have managed some more stitching cards and a little 3D decoupage.  The 'girls' (my three crafting friends) are coming for one of their Sunday eat,chat and craft days at the end of the  month - hopefully - and I am planning that I will try some die-cutting with them.  The first since a while before the op. 

I look forward to lots of visiting and if you feel like dropping in to see me you will be very welcome.

Hugs
