Scruff the Dog at As You Like It

Good Morning Everyone, 
I can't believe it's already time for another challenge over at As You Like It. This fortnight we want to see ....

CATS OR DOGS

(Don't forget to explain why one is your favourite)

I've used the adorable 'Scruff the Dog Gardening' from Polkadoodles for my card.

I don't own a pet and never had so I don't really have a preference. I just choose an image based on whether or not I like it! 
I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Craft Creations. I've used a Die namics fence die and a plant in a pot from a First Edition Set. The sun is a Lawn Fawn die and the clouds are a Memory Box die.

This challenge is sponsored by the fabulous Polkadoodles

Alyssa Relaxing

Hello Everyone
I needed a birthday card for a friend at work and I knew this image would be perfect for her. It's called Alyssa Relaxing from DigiStamp Boutique and although the shop is now closed I couldn't resist using her.

I've coloured her with promarkers and the papers are from Anna Marie Designs. I've used a Creative Expressions Peony die and a Joanna Sheen leaf die.
Cricket has taken over in our house again. Emma had 2 games yesterday so we left the house at 9am and didn't get home until 6.30pm! It was amusing seeing her trying to get changed in the car going from one match to the next whilst trying to eat her dinner!
  Thanks for taking the time to come and see my little blog, I really appreciate your visits.

This is Lazy Daisy from Lili of the Valley...

I coloured her with promarkers and the background papers are from Joy!crafts. I've used a die namics blueprints 14 flower die, a die namics fishtail die, and a Spellbinders curved borders die.

Sunday Stroll at AYLI

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all well and keeping safe. 
It's been two weeks since the last challenge at As You Like It..and here we are again ready for another one! This week the theme is....

Summer or Autumn

(Don't forget to explain why)

I have gone for summer. I love the sunshine and pretty flowers in gardens and being able to get out and about without (hopefully) getting too cold. Also summer means cricket and I love watching my daughter play!

So, for today's card I have used a fabulous stamp from Lili of the Valley. This is 'Sunday Stroll'.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Craft Creations. I've used a Die namics picket fence die, Creative Expressions winter tree dies, Memory Box Puffy cloud dies, Lawn Fawn sun die and an X-cut flower punch. The sentiment is computer generated as this card is for my Father-In-Laws 80th birthday. 

Our sponsor this time is the fabulous Crafty Ribbons

Farm or Jungle at As You Like It

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all well and keeping safe. 
It's been two weeks since the last challenge at As You Like It..and here we are again ready for another one! This week the theme is....

Farm Animals or Jungle Animals

(Don't forget to explain why)

I don't really go for either of these so after a root through my digi files and stamps I discovered I had a few more 'Farm' animals than jungle animals.

So, for today's card I have used this adorable cow from DigiStamp Boutique.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Joy Crafts. I've used a Die namics flower die and picket fence die. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.
