Labrador decoupage

Good Evening all
Just blogging and watching Britains got Talent. 

While I have been here in the UK I have been cutting out my decoupage and I put this one together while I was staying at my SIL.

I just love this image, he looks so sad.  I make cards for two animal charities in Spain and I think this image is so apt for them because he says to me `Pease help me`.  People treat animals so badly, they just throw them out when they no longer want them or cant afford to look after them anymore..

In the UK

Good Morning All

We arrived in the UK on Friday afternoon and the weather was avercast but not raining.
The village where my sister in law lives is lovely and quite quaint.  We went out to watch the footy final last night and then had dinner in the same pub, it was very nice.  Today I think we are going to Bude today for a walk round.  My SIL wants to do some crafting later too so no doubt I will have a card to post.

Good Morning All

Abit of a rush this morning.  We couldn,t stay at the bar for dinner last night after Spanish as they had a function on so we went  somewhere else and said we would go there for lunch today, but I have to meet one of my Charity ladies with some cards.  So just got up and had my yoghurt and a cuppa.
Todays card is a cutie (I think anyway), I do make a lot with animals on as they are going to animal charities.

Good Morning All

Spanish lesson this afternoon so will have to revise last weeks lesson before we go. 
We are going to stay on at the bar for something to eat as we came 2nd in the quiz on Sunday and won a 10euro food voucher to spend there, so that will save me thinking of what to cook for dinner tonight.!!!!

Todays card is white on white.  I look at other peoples creations and they are stunning.  I dont have many Spellbinder dies (which I will have to rectify soon) so I cant cut out all the gorgeous, intricate patterns some people use, but  here it is.

Good Afternoon All.

  Bad nights sleep with niggling pains in my knees and hip, just a flipping nuisance, so I got up at seven and came into my craft room to distract myself.

Todays card is a Forever Friend decoupage.  Fairly simple - not too cluttered with lots of embellishments - not too much bling!!!!!
