Ambrose King of the Waves from Dr Digi

The hints of a summer yet to come are out there, the warmth of the sun on your back, trying to ignore the still chilly wind. I don't say I'm quite as ready as this for summer but Ambrose is practising for those well earned days on the beach. Here's hoping the summer will not be a washout.

You can find Ambrose HERE, now I need to resist the urge to go and get an ice cream from Kenny our ice cream man later. It's Friday and Friday is always Kenny day on our road!

I♥ProMarkers Challenge 215- Cats and/or Dogs

Morning all, well just anyway as it is nearly midday in the UK! This week on the I♥ProMarkers Challenge the theme is Cats and/or Dogs.

We are being sponsored by Dies to Die for who are offering a £10 voucher as a prize.

Usually I have no problem creating a cat card! I am a cat nut but yesterday (yes I left it late) I was completely mojoless. Made one horrific card, then coloured the image below but all inspiration was lost, even Pinterest didn't help. Yet today, no problem, card came together just like that, so slightly late here is my card:

Hilda and Hercules from Dr Digi's House of Stamps

Now once upon a time Hilda's glasses weren't as good as they could have been. She went to the local dogs home to get herself a small house dog. The assistant being a wily fellow realised that Hilda would be a great dog owner, so he may have insinuated that puppy Hercules was in fact a full grown terrier. I think Hilda is not quite as daft as she might have looked but had already fallen in love with the fuzzy shape of Hercules! Now Hilda gets no hassle from anyone when she is taking Hercules for a walk; small children even look forward to seeing her out and about in the park as Hercules is a big softy inside and more than ready to give a ride or two.

You can find Hilda and Hercules HERE
