365 Cards - # 58

It's another day and another card lol.  Today's challenge had to include a fish and I went into panic mode hehehe but redeemed myself when I realised that I had a fish stamp in my stash of oldies but goodies.  I used to do a lot of male type cards for people about 15 years ago so have a lot of male orientated stamps from then.  Here is my card for #58. . .

It's a very plain card and I didn't put a sentiment on it as I will wait until I see what to use it for.  So that's it for another day.

In the meantime. . .

365 Cards - #57

Hi Everyone,  well it is Sunday evening here in New South Wales Australia and we all know what that means, that's right another challenge day lol.  Todays challenge was a delight to complete and I had all the ingredients so I finished it in a reasonable amount of time.  I couldn't do yesterdays card as it was to be done with acrylic or acetate neither of which I had but as I said to Fi I wasn't slack I did do a lovely watercolour for my bestie for her mum for Mothers Day so in effect I did do a card.  You can have a quick look here if you like.  There are also some lovely pics of our Australian wildlife there which I took whilst out on a picnic.  Anyway without further ado here is my card for #57

I enjoyed doing this card and it took no time to complete.  Well as it is 11.36pm on Sunday evening I think I will hit the bed.  Goodnight all and I will catch you on the flip side.

In the meantime. . .

How I Spent Anzac Day

Hi everyone,  Yesterday was Anzac Day for those of us in Australia and New Zealand which is a day that we remember all the fallen soldiers that gave their lives for us to live the lives we choose in earlier wars and conflicts.  Being an ex soldier myself I like to spend this day quietly.  With my family and my bestie and her husband we went out to the dam for a barbeque lunch and it was lovely, peaceful and quiet.  I took some crafting out with me as my bestie had asked me to make her a Mothers Day card for her mum.  The request was for something to do with gardening so I think I mastered it.  Let me know what you think.  I have had the stamp for over 15 years and I have always loved it and as Sonya's mum is an avid gardener this did the job well.  I chose to watercolour it on watercolour paper using Derwent watercolour pencils.

The next four pics are of some beautiful Australian Kangaroos enjoying their own meal out at the dam.  This is what I love about Australia. . . wildlife everywhere in the country.  Kangaroos are a favourite of mine always have been always will be. . . so please enjoy!!

They were enjoying their meal on the grass outside the water park area at the dam with not a person in sight lol.  Well I hope I can join in the challenge over at 365 Cards tomorrow.  I missed not being able to do something for it today but I wasn't slack either just did something else.

So that's it for me today everyone but in the meantime. . .

Walk about your day with beauty.
