Morning folks....it's Saturday once again and time for another challenge at Penny Black Saturday.The challenge this week is a sketch (in fact.....2 sketches) from our lovely teamie Nat and you can choose which one you want to use or in fact.....do both if you feel so inclined.....I went with Sketch 1 and once again living life in the fast lane....decided to flip it.
And I struggled a bit with a theme for this card......still can't get my creative thoughts away from snow and snowflakes....so decided to go with the flow and when I saw poor little "Robbie"...who is a regular in the garden each winter.....hopping around looking for food.....I just had to use this gorgeous image....and in the words of the nursery rhyme
The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?

Very apt card - love it Kath! I know the snow's a pain and don't get me wrong I love the sunshine too, but I do feel so much better when the weather's cold like this. So I'm not complaining 'at the moment' lol. Take care.

Fabulous card dear just right for this weekend, thanks for reminding me of that Nursery Rhyme, they seem to be out of fashion now don't they, but I love hearing them take me right back to my childhood

Gorgeous card Kath, love the sweet little image. Those snowflakes look gorgeous. Joey.x
ReplyDeleteI remember that nursery rhyme too Kath. Lovely, lovely card. That hedgie image with the robin is one of my favourites. I think snow and ice is at the forefront of everybody's minds at the moment. You're right to go with the flow... Lauren x
ReplyDeleteKath - I love the card and I too can't think beyond the snowy theme (it's snowing now!!)
ReplyDeleteI need to make 3 birthday cards for next week - like you I will be flying in by the seat of my pants.
(I wonder if I can make some 'snowy' flowers ummmm)?
Hope your aches and pains are easing.
Take care.
