Going round in circles - and some bad news!

Hi there,

First of all I wish to let you know that I have lost one of my Fur-babies today. Furrby has been on hyperthyroid medication for a while and we were starting to think there was another problem and just keeping an eye on her. She had bloods run last week and all came back fine, but she was still losing weight. Unfortunately I got home from work yesterday and she was acting a little strange - as though she was starting to lose her sight (she already lost her hearing after a stroke brought on by her previous medication). However, when she didn't eat all her wet meat (which she never leaves any of) I knew something was not quite right. However, when she was crashing about in the kitchn after bedtime, and then got worse through the night I had to call the vet, ad unfortunately we had to make the decision to let her go this morning as she had deteriorated so quickly. We are thinking it was probably a tumour on the lungs or similar.

RIP my sweet little girl!



Now onto the new challenge over at Creative Moments. The twist for this fortnight is circles, and we have three sponsors this time. Go to the challenge blog to see what they are offering. I have used REBEL CAT from SLS Lines, coloured with Promarkers.

I made a twisted easel card by drawing round the edge of a dish onto a white card blank and cutting out with straburst effect scissors. I folded the front in half diagonally. I then did the same with a piece of black glitter cardstock, which I added to the bottom of the fold. Next I die-cut a star circle, using a Creative Dies nesting die, from fine silver glitter card. I used foam pads as well as double sided tape to attach this and the cat, so that the cat is riding through the circle. Finally I added the sentiment on foam pads, to hold the card base up.

I would like to enter this for the following challenges:
PFP #357 My favourite things (motorbike)
Allsorts - A touch of sparkle
LOC #141 Quirky/Weird
Artistic Inspirations #162 Anything Goes
Digi Chooseday - Anything Goes
Simply Create Too #114 Lots of Sparkle

And I will leave you with some striking Cinnebar caterpillars from my allotment yesterday:




Thank you for looking,

Check back Friday for my version of a One Layer Card, using a sketch - just to decide what stamps to use now.
