Morning everyone, Déjà vu.......forgive the lack of visits and clipped comments, not too good, been back in hospital, existing and new issues and it's really taken the wind out of my sails.
A new challenge at Allsorts where we are back to weekly challenges. This week Lolo has selected the theme of Delightful Animals and as usual there is the A/G option to fall back on. There are two prizes from AALL and Create.
Another Fairy, this time in a vase mask created with a TL die, Oxides for shading, Twila Fairy, Hare from Woodland Hares, large Bee from Bumble and Hum and a smaller one from Bumblehums. The flowers around the edge of the vase are Shadow Bloom and coloured with a yellow Posca sparkle pen.
A soft Pan Pastel background and images from AALL and Create Canine Dreams (862) all stamped in Versafine black and a little colouring added to the lamps and Butterflies.
Thought I would share some of our household Animal Magic, above DIL Veronique trying to be a Dog Whisperer, Labs, Vizslas, Dachshund, Terrier and even a Dalmatian, we have quite a variety and that's not the full family compliment as a couple look to be missing!
Anysia bought some new fangled hay feeders, supposedly intended to slow them down, my boy Heskey (in need of a feather trim and good groom of his mane and tail) is most definitely not impressed.
Finally, two Fallow Deer caught early morning on the wildlife camera in the orchard, so many windfalls this year. It's a fairly new 'toy' so hopefully share more activity soon.

Sorry to hear you are still having health problems - hope things improve very soon. Certainly delightful animal cards from you and the animal photos are super - love all the assorted dogs gathering round for 'storytime' 😊
Wow what an awesome post Brenda your cards are stupendous with your choice of animals and other lavinia stamps the pictures you have posted lifted my heart seeing all those wonderful animals thank you for bringing a little sunshine into my day. However, I am so very sorry to hear that you have even more health issues to contend with it just isn't fair that a beautiful person like you should have these problems I pray that it will be sorted

I'm so sorry you're still battling health issues from a hospital bed and I do hope things improve for you soon. I love both cards but am so impressed with your photos of beautiful dogs, deer, and especially that fine looking horse. I'm wondering how you manage to care for all of them but they tend to care for each other somehow too. Just take good care of yourself and I pray for your healing.
I am so sorry to see you have been in the hospital. I pray you are on the mend soon. I love your beautiful cards and all the absolutely beautiful animals. Feel better.
Wonderful cards Brenda, impossible to choose a favourite. TFS the lovely animal photos. I hope you get many more on your wildlife camera, what a great thing to have.
Sorry to hear about your health issues, hope things improve for you soon.

Two beautiful made cards Brenda, such a delightful scene inside the vase and love how you decorated it with flowers. The second card featuring the dogs is absolutely beautiful too, hard to believe this set has been retired by Aall and Create, along with the cat set that I used for this week's challenge!
Thinking of you and praying that things will improve for you very soon!

Meant to say, the real life animals are absolutely beautiful, gorgeous group of dogs all so well behaved and getting along with each other! And what a great capture of the deer in the orchard! The new feeder seems like a great idea, could use something similar for one of my cats who always eats too fast, but like with Heskey, I am sure my Thomas wouldn't be impressed by it.
Two fabulous cards here Brenda - as usual - your talent abounds.
Loving the animal pictures. Wish I had Fallow Deer coming to my garden! All I get is frogs, cats and mice! I could well do without the cats. Nuff said!
Sorry to learn you've had occasion to return to hospital. Fingers crossed they can sort you out sooner than later. Sending lots of positive good wishes your way. xxx
Cards are fabulous, as are the photos!
Hoping you get things sorted!
Your cards are beautiful as always but today overshadowed by that incredible deer photo and that of the attentive, and obviously happy and relaxed, dogs in your garden.
Sorry to hear you are back in hospital, let's hope you will be out soon! x
Sorry to hear you’re still struggling health-wise and really hope things can get back on an even track for you sooner rather than later! Two more beautiful cards today, love the pretty Lavinia vase scene, and the soft shading with the silhouettes on the doggie card. Brilliant photos of the dogs and horse but my favourite has to be the deer .. what a brilliant wildlife picture! Xx
what beautiful cards Brenda.......and fantastic photo's......gr karin
Sorry to read that you are having more health problems. I do hope that you will soon start to feel a bit better again.
You cards are beautiful and such lovely photo's of the animals. The one with the deer is fantastic. Take care. Marlies x
So sorry to hear you’ve been suffering again, you must be due better times, not least because you share your lovely creations, and fabulous photos too. That’s a lot of dogs! Adore the deer too….look forward to more. Take it easy xxx
Two beautiful cards Brenda l really like the Lavinia vase scene and the shading with the silhouettes on the doggie card, gorgeous photos of the dogs and horse and deer so love the animal photo's too, sorry your still not good hope it eases soon sending hugs x
I'm sorry to hear things are not so good Brenda, but through it all you are succeeding with so many wonderful cards and work. I love your photographs, what a fabulous selection of animals. All loved and happy too. x
I can see you couldn't resist the stencils from Lavinia just as I couldn't :) This looks so good! I finally got the new ones this week and some of the corners and would love to get them inky, but I'm in one Summer Challenge for still a week and the 2nd Summer Challenge I will tackle in my own peace... so after this week it will be Lavinia-time here! Enjoy the weekend!
You've made such a pretty vase for your fairy, a lovely card. The doggy card is just a lovely atmospheric scene. I love that photo with all the dogs it's wonderful as is the photo of the amazing deer. You are in my thoughts. L x
Beautiful cards Brenda and I love the animal pics,especially the deers, xx
So sorry you are still not feeling up to much, hope things improve soon. Love your cards today and thanks for sharing your animal pictures. So many dogs. I would lose track. Looks like Veronique is doing a good job as a dog whisperer xx
GORGEOUS cards Brenda and absolutely agree that the best therapist(s) has four legs and fur, they just make the world a better place!! I imagine your D-i-L saying "sausage" to get a reaction like that!! I've not seen a feeder like that, I don't think Wills would be too impressed either! Look at the shine on Heskey and what helpful visitors eating the windfalls for you xx
Lovely cards and pictures, Brenda. That looks like an awesome dog party over there.

Oh so sorry you had to go back to the hospital, Brenda! Your cards are delightful, but no surprise--the doggy one has my heart! LOVE the sentiment! So fun to see your animal pictures and hope you do get more with the orchard camera!
