Vintage Peach Mother's Day

Hello Everyone!

Today I am sharing a Mother's Day card made with some older Pion Design papers and a sheet of peach paper from a Recollections paper pad. I bought a whole paper pad for 2 sheets of soft toned peach paper, how desperate am I!! lol



The image is from Pion Design, the flowers are Sweetheart Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts. the sentiment is stamped with a Hero Arts stamp, the ribbon was hand dyed using Distress inks, and everything else is from my stash.

So on Thursday it started snowing... and it snowed, and it snowed, and the wind was incredible! And then it started raining, and then it froze!! IN APRIL!! I don't think that the wildlife was very impressed at all!

So it started like this...



and and now it's like this...


a male Cardinal taking it in stride...


a Nuthatch looking mighty annoyed...


a little friend looking down on the world that was dry and warm just a few days ago...


another little friend trying to shelter himself from the bitter wind...


As for me, I spent the weekend watching cars get stuck in the frozen slush, feeding the birds and squirrels on the patio that were taking refuge from the falling ice pellets, drinking baileys, watching Army Wives, and adding log after log to the fire! What a weekend! I hope you all had better weather than that! Hugs for today.

Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing a card for any occasion featuring  some gorgeous papers from  ScrapAndMe collection " Romantic Garden 2 ". I have also used some wood embellishment pieces from Scrapiniec. ScrapAndMe products:       Scrapiniec products:    *** Hello everyone. I would like you to meet George. The people who found George tried to do a good thing and raise him on their own. Unfortunately, poor nutrition has now left George underweight and underdeveloped. He's tiny and frail, but he sure doesn't know that! He's quite the monkey in my baby jungle gym, so I have high hopes he will grow and thrive to be a big healthy boy. George is one of the lucky ones, many of these babies don't survive the good intentions of their finders. I can't get angry with people who have such kindness in their hearts, but the biggest act of kindness you can show a baby wild animal is contact someone who knows how to look after them. If you ever need help, plea...

ScrapAndMe products:          Scrapiniec products:    *** Yay, I finally got a little Christmas going on my patio! Anyone else got some pretty lights up yet? Last year for electricity, hoping to be solar for next year. Just some more experimenting with wood chews. I'll never buy another coloured one again. The dye was coming out and I ended up grabbing it away from him. Animal safe my ass, not unless you want your pet turning blue or orange! Lol. I've decided to make my own chew toys from now on.
