A Card for the Last LOTV Challenge - Pink, White & Silver

Good morning all....hope this finds you all well and not too chilly...I thought I would do a quick post while Mum is still in bed...as it takes me most of the morning to get her up and going....anyway...this is my entry for the last LOTV challenge :-( for those who follow my blog know that these darling little stamps are my second love next to my beloved Tilda...I bought loads at the NEC in November and most are still unused...(oh the shame)...I have entered most of the LOTV challenges...not in the hope of winning (mind you that would have been fantastic) but to be chosen to be in the Top 3 would have been a dream come true...but alas..it was never to be...but I still love them and I will be taking part in the Challenge that Jacqui will be running in the New Year....

Ok..about my card...I used my very fav stamp from last year..she is coloured with copic's...the DP is by Craft Creations and a tiny piece from NitWits...(it has pink snowflakes on and then I covered it all up..Doh!!)I used WOC flowers and took out the stemens and added some silver Flower Soft..I cut leaves using a Cheery Lynne die and I was determined to use that Marianne Christmas tree die on it somewhere...I struggled a bit...and the jury is still out as to whether I like it or not...so I just added my usual plague of pearls and loads of sparkle..

Well I better get going...I hope to get Mum sorted and then have a little bit of crafty time later....

Have a fab weekend

Out of Sorts...

....I heard some dreadful news today and I cant stop thinking about it...we have a park near us where I walk Ollie and to get it we have to walk through a small wooded part..Ollie loves it with all different sniffs for him...but I always keep him on the lead...as he is only small and there some big dogs around...I have always said that I would never trust a dog no matter how well trained they are...and I know you may think I'm silly but if a big dog comes near us or I see one on the same path I always pick Ollie up because you just never know...Ollie is very friendly but he gets very excited so I wouldn't want to risk a big dog getting too close...I have always said that people with big dogs shouldn't have them off the lead as people like me who have little dogs really don't know how well trained they are and the owners should be that responable..especially after all the horror stories you hear...Well on Tuesday we had our own horror story in our road...an elderly lady who lives a few house up from us was walking her sweet little poodle Sam...we see her walk past with him everyday and if we were in the garden we always have a little chat and a cuddle with Sam...on Tuesday she was on her way back through the wooded part of the park when poor Sam was savaged by a large dog...she obviously tried to fight the dog off..and was badly bitten and fell to the ground trying to save Sam. The large dog was with a woman who just walked off leaving the elderly lady on the ground bleeding and poor Sam in a dreadful state...there are houses close by and luckily someone came to her aid...This has made the front page of our local paper this week...the police are making enquires about the owner of the large dog...the elderly lady is ok... very shocked of course and Sam had emergency surgery but despite best efforts he died on Wednesday. I am just so upset about this I cant help thinking about that poor lady on the ground trying to save her dog...and how the owner could just walk away and leave her...there are some despicable people out there..I hope the police find who it was. I wont be walking Ollie through there again.

Sorry to go on so...I'm just so upset.
