Shabby Chic wedding card

Evening all

The weather is gorgeous here and I'm so excited it's summer! I have SAD and the winter is long and difficult for me, so when the sun starts shining properly, I know things are looking up :) Also Sparky is on the mend, she's doing SO well on her three legs, running around the place! It hasn't slowed her down one bit. The stitches are coming out on Saturday, so she'll be footloose and fancy free then :) Thank you to everyone who has passed on their sympathies and good wishes to her, we really appreciate them all!

Anyway, crafty stuff again. I made this card a while ago, it started as a card for an order but then I liked it too much to use for the order so I kept it hahahaha. I then put it in my "card box" where all the cards that I'm too attached to to let go go to haha.

I used this beautiful LOTV image, it's a retired image. I think it's so pretty.

All Dressed Up May Facebook Challenge - Blue

Evening everyone :)

Update on Sparky, her surgery failed, there wasn't enough skin in the area to hold everything in place, it became infected and the vet had to do an amputation. She's home with us now again in recovery, I'm heartbroken for my beautiful baby, but I'm just happy that her recovery process is beginning for real now and she'll be well again in no time - the wound is so clean and tidy, our vet did an amazing job. Here she is, looking happy even one leg down. She's able to move around, albeit a little unsteadily, but I'm confident that she'll be flying about the place again in no time :) I get sad every time I see her little back end, but I'm just relieved she's alive and OK, just sad for what she's going through and how difficult her short life has been so far, she's dealt with so much already and she's so young :(

ANYWAY, back to crafty things again :) Today over at the All Dressed Up Facebook Page the latest Facebook Challenge has gone live with the theme this month of BLUE. 

I used the beautiful Three Little Party Girls image, aren't they cute :D I made them into a Christmas card :)
