Bird or Beast at AYLI


It's nearly Friday again and that can only mean a new challenge at

As You Like It where it's Birds or Beast? 

I have told you many times about my fear of birds, thanks to my Darling Grandma, but on this occasion I have decided to try and overcome my fear by colouring up a cute pair of birds that I found in my digi collection.


I used Promarkers to compliment the Craftwork Cards papers. I used another of Jules' sketches...


...I always turn to her fantastic library when my inspiration and enthusiasm for crafting is lacking!! Thank you lovely lady!! 

We have been out and about again, a visit to Lyme Regis this time...

...a little overcast but still nicely warm and the pistachio ice cream was delicious!! 

See you soon xx

I would have laid money on it being of the horsey variety but they are cute little birdies!
Max flushed a baby blackbird out in the veg garden the other day but I managed to get him away before major trauma ensued.
Feeling grumpy as physio cancelled again and no new appointment as they don't know how long she will be off. :(

Hi Sarah,
this card is so sweet and that image is beautifully coloured too.
I didn't know your were afraid of birds.
We have an enormous amount of Seagulls where I live as we are only about 12 miles from the coast.
For a few years we had them nesting on the roof of the flats near by and they attacked my DIL and me as their young were just starting to fly.
They make such a horrible sound while swarming around and looking after their young and also other Seagulls also protect them too.
I digress I love you paper used on your card.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

A really sweet creation Sarah and lovely Summery colours. We once met a lady on holiday in Israel who had a fear of birds, there were quite a lot of pigeons in the hotel grounds and as a result she rarely came out during the day unless it was to rush onto a coach for a trip.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip - you just have to have an ice cream when you visit the seaside!
