We had to use trees on our projects for this week and here is my creation using my aloe tree stamp and once again with an iris folding backdrop. The sentiment are stickers from my stash. The brown ribbon, felt buttons and anchors are also from my stash.
I am also entering this card for the following challenges:
During a recent visit to the Monte Casino Bird Park, I managed to take these pics of my favourite animal, the Meerkat. They have got such curious personalities. This one is definitely a Mama Meerkat on the watch-out i.e. checking out all the human bypassers. Still feel sorry to see them all cooped up in a little enclosure, whilst in nature they roam a huge area.
... and below are some pics of our visit 2 weeks ago to Sabini Game Farm near Bella Bella. We had an awesome relaxing time in nature with our dear friends Belinda and Carel. It was seriously hot during the day i.e. 39 degrees C, but evenings were just perfect. We had awesome sundowner game drives with a major cheese board, fig preserves and wine on the menu. It was absolutely fantastic to enjoy these delectable treats within in nature.

Lovely card and even better in real life which I had the pleasure to see this week-end. The Meerkats are really cute - must say I enjoy watching them too. Your sunset pictures are awesome - can see a lovely scrapping page being created. Cheese, biscuits, sundowners in nature - couldn't ask for better.

ReplyDeleteWonderful card Desiree, but afraid those meerecats get the prize. They absolutely fascinate me.
ReplyDeleteOne of our BBC channels has been monitoring them in the Kalahari Destert for some years and screen their filming on TV. I am an avdid watcher and they have become almost part of the family as I can't wait until the next episode to see the outcome of their latest activities.
Thank you so much for sharing.

ReplyDeleteWow Desire jou fotos is PRAGTIG. Goed genoeg vir 'n koffietafelboek. Ek hou ook baie van jou skepping oor vriendskap en die boom. Ek hoop regtig ek kan eendag 'n kursus by jou loop. Ek mis die scrapping.
