Allsorts - For the Love of Animals

Saturday again and I am here with my inspiration for


We are Anything Goes but the optional theme is 

For the Love of Animals, one that is right up my street!!

The Sponsors for this months' winners are




I love all animals with, perhaps, the exception of spiders so making a decision about what to feature on my card was tricky!! In the end  I went for a red rubber Cuddly Buddly pony stamp and coloured it with Promarkers. The papers are from a very, very old DoCrafts Forever Friends, Kraft Notes pad. I created a rosette effect with Dies from Tonic Studios.



This was the first horse stamp that I bought, way back when, at the start of my crafting journey  and I have always coloured it like my Darling Surprise who crossed the rainbow bridge last year. 

 Here we are...about fifteen years ago, my favourite picture of us and how I remember her.



This cheeky boy makes me smile every day though and is doing a grand job of filling the void


and I musn't forget  Bowie (right) and Bumble (left) our lovely Sprollie twins!!






If you are still with me Thank you for your visit today and I very much hope you will take inspiration and join us at Allsorts with your animal creations.

Have a lovely weekend and see you soon  xx
