Snowflakes in August


Morning Peeps, thought it was time I ventured back to craft land and I'll admit it's only because of a timely prompt by Val with her Rudolph Days card so thought I had better get something made. 

It's just a simple snowflake wreath using Lavinia stamps for the wreath and little house from Inkylicious along with Versafine Clair inks. Sentiment from my own Christmas Season sentiments. The current CRAFT challenge is Christmas so am linking up therCe. And I thought this just might fit Creations in Pink as all inks were shades of pink and Farmquest Christmas. Just had a nudge from Greta to pop over to Christmas Kick-start challenge so had to oblige.

I got home from hospital early for 'good conduct' on the understanding I rested, I did/have and now wait to see how the treatment has worked. Holly is cheery, a very poorly chest as some stitches burst and too risky to anaethetise again, so daily bathing and tending, but eating and tail wagging so can ask for no more as we continue a day at a time.

A lovely idea to form a wreath from snowflakes, the perfect surround for the lovely cottage image. Sounds like good news about Holly, she's certainly being well cared for. Happy Rudolph Days

Beautiful card and stamps, love the snowflake wreath and colours used. Good news about Holly and always a good sign when they are eating. Hope the treatment worked and make sure you rest and take care.

Beautiful card Brenda, love the colours and your pretty snowflake wreath. Hope your treatment proves to be a success (especially as you have been so well behaved and rested!) and pleased to hear Holly is eating and wagging- hope those stitches soon heal up.

Fabulous card, I like the nontraditional colors and the wreath is great around the cabin. Hope you rest and get better soon, Holly too. Hugs, Donna

Glad you're home and hoping this brings you relief. I just love the look of your snowflake wreath surrounding the peaceful scene! You could add it to Christmas Kickstart where I'm on Elf Duty with Jo! Good news Holly is currently enjoying life and all you're doing what you can: be grateful for the good times.

Delighted to hear Holly is cheerful even though you’re still having to take it a day at a time. Congrats on being so well behaved they let you out of hospital!

LOVE your pretty winter scene inside the snowy wreath. Happy Rudolph Day xxx
