AYLI Favourite animal

It's all about your favourite animals this time at


Such a tough decision, but on this occasion I have chosen a really cute LOTV dog that I coloured with my Lyra pencils.



 Mum and Dad were not dog lovers so until I met Martin I had never really known dogs. At that time his family had four on the farm who I soon got to know and love. When I gave up work to have Declan, 29 years ago, we bought a Springer Spaniel puppy of our own and we have not been without dogs since. I love their companionship, loyalty and the way our two make us laugh every day with their antics and that they help with my 10,000 steps a day!!

Looking forward to seeing your favourite animal.

That's all for now. Thank you for your visits and lovely comments, it is much appreciated xx

Sarah, this is darling! I love the texture you've colored in, I would love to reach right out and touch these cuties. Beautiful card!

This such a cute image Sarah.
We don't go out of the way to acquire pets, they sort of attach to us! Thomas puss used to hang around the back door and Max was from the plumber's dog's first litter he was giving away! Still not sure if I'm a dog or a cat person, ;).

Adorable, Sarah! I love the patchwork effect in the background!
Yes I cannot imagine life without dogs, I've never lived in a house without at least one running around causing mayhem. Wouldn't have it any other way though! xx

I love your card that image is one of my faves, I have just coloured it up too, I am the same I couldn't be without a dog, we did Canine Partners for a few years but then the last one broke my heart and we decided we couldn't no longer go through it so got a dog of our own, she is mental, but funny with it and she plays with the cats she thinks she is a cat secretly, hugs Pops x

Claire said...

Great card with a super cute image. I do like how you've used panels of patterned paper as a background with the pop of black as a base.

Awww what a cutie. Love your colouring, and lovely happy colour theme too. We didn't have any pets when I was a kid, I was always pestering mum for a dog but she never gave in!
