LOTV easel card

Evening everyone :) 

I'm super tired today, I get periods of time where I get REALLY bad nightmares every night for sometimes weeks - this week so far I've had nightmares about being incarcerated in psychiatric hospitals like the ones in horror movies, dead bodies in the garden, ghosts in the sitting room, dead children and zombie children in the garden and soldiers with heat seeking missiles chasing me. The details are sooo vivid and complete, it's scary being in my head sometimes :P I obviously have a very vivid imagination, but it's really not conducive to good sleep, especially when I end up having to sleep with the light on!

Anyway, my dear friend Lisa asked for a birthday card for her boyfriend Nicky, they just got a dog together so she wanted a dog on the card, so this is what I came up with :) I made an easel card

Ingredients
Sentiment - LOTV Sentiment Tags and I printed off the other one myself 
Medium - Promarkers

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
As You Like It - Favourite Three Embellies: DIECUTS, PEARLS, HESSIAN. I love all these because I'm into the rustic look at the moment and the hessian really adds to it :D And the other two I love because they work with everything :)

Thanks for looking :)

Fabulous :D

Evening all :) 

Hope everyone's well. Today has been a good day for me, my cat was missing for a couple of days but she returned today, and has literally been asleep on the sofa all day! So I'm happy and can't stop cuddling her hehe :) 

I love this image, isn't she priceless?! As a grown up who was bullied as a kid for being the four-eyed nerd with braces...I'm COMPLETELY of the opinion now (if only I'd known it then!) that being a spectacle wearer is fun, and a great way to show off your style and personality in a way that non spec wearers can't :) And now that I am grown up, I'm LOVING my specs appeal ;) It's certainly not something to be mocked for, I'm a four-eyed nerd and LOVE IT :D So tell that to all your speccy-wearing daughters (and sons!) who are insecure about their glasses, that it's fun, it's cool and not something to ever be ashamed of :)

Ingredients
Ribbon - from stash
Pearls - Ribbon Girl
Border - MS Border Punch

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog - Something Sweet (I think this lil girl is the sweetest image around at the moment!)
As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Papers and Why - these papers are some of my favourites, because good, bright cheerful papers in primary colours can be so difficult to find! And these just fit the bill so perfectly :)
