Penguins


 Good morning, another Christmas card today, my DT card for this fortnight's Anything Goes Challenge at Crafty Catz. 

The stamp is from Whipper Snapper, one I've had for several years, don't think it's been used before, coloured with Copic markers, Circular 'Merry Christmas'  die is Polkadoodles, no idea of brand of banner die. Papers from an old crafting magazine, sentiment stamp from Paper Smooches, embossed in red.

I'm a bit distracted today as Marvin has been bumped!  He had a check up on Wednesday and was given a clean bill of health- the vet actually remarked on how perfect his teeth are! Well a couple of hours later my O/H found half a tooth on the floor!!!  Obviously it had broken off and Marv had spat it out. Back to the vets and he needs surgery to remove the rest of the tooth as the root is still in there. He was due for surgery today but last night we had a call from the vet to say that due to emergency for a cat involved in a road accident, Marvin's procedure will be postponed until Monday, he seems fine, eating ok (well he IS a Labrador!!!) and not showing any sign of being in pain (he's been prescribed pain medication) and I understand that the cat's need is greater, but I'm not happy he has to wait for 3 more days!  let's hope there are no further emergencies!!!

Don't forget to check out the main challenge blog to see what the rest of the ladies have created this time- hope to see you there!

Thanks for visiting

Poor Marvin, recall something similar with Daisy a few years ago, also a Lab so eating wasn't an issue although she wasn't impressed with scrambled egg for dinner.

Very cute Penguins on a circle easel card.

Love the circle easel card Chris. Great image, colours and I love that circle die. Poor Marvin! Sounds like the vets are getting as bad as the GPs. Three day wait is ridiculous! Hope he gets seen too soon.
