It's time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie. This time Zoe is the hostess and she has chosen the theme "Be My Valentine".
Sadly, this will be my last challenge with Frilly and Funkie. I have really enjoyed the two years I have spent as a team member there, but as I'm sure you all know, crafting sometimes has to take a back seat for a while. I'm so thankful to Linda and Jenny for being so supportive over the last two years, what wonderful leaders and amazing artists they both are. I wish them all the best for whatever the future brings them.

My landscape photos today were taken here at the lake back in December when we had our first snowfall and our first freeze. I miss the lovely December weather.
For my birds today I have this sweet Black Capped Chickadee...
my token male Cardinal shot...
a female House Sparrow...
MISSY:
"Winter isn't so bad. You just gotta close your eyes and pretend you're on the beach. Yum, Peanut-Colada!
MR CHUBB:
"All I see here are mushrooms and grapes! Pleeeeeease tell me you didn't take peanuts off the menu!"
TUBBY TESSA:
"Hey, what can I say, just living up to my name!"
For my macro today, some frozen pine needles from up north.
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.

What a gorgeous creation for your final F+F card Pamellia, how they will miss you. As you say crafting sometimes has to take a back seat and at some stage you will be back in full. Creativity is always there for us isn't it, your photography is another outlet which must bring you such pleasure. As a fellow keen photographer I know that. I also love seeing your beautiful nature shots and seeing all your sweet furry friends. Take great care. Thinking of you. Hugs xxx

ReplyDeleteAmazing Valentine card, Pamellia! I love the layers unpon layers of beautiful papers, the bit of lace, the pearls and those burlap flowers! Of Course the splash of white just takes this over the top--I'm always afraid to do that! I had a chuckle at the hearts charm; I've included that on mine, too! I can still remember back to the day you started with Frilly and Funkie--how thrilled you were,and I was for YOU! You and your lovely work will be sorely missed on this, one of my favorite blogs!

Hi Pamellia,
ReplyDeleteoh I am so sorry to hear your leaving the Frilly and Funkie challenge DT.
I am sure they are going to miss you so much.
I love this wonderful Valentines card and your very superb design as usual.
Lovely and wonderful elements arranged so beautifully too, and gorgeous papers as always.
Yout photos always continue to amaze me as they are so very superb.
Your lovely little furry friends are just the sweetest too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
A gorgeous Valentine. So beautifully done xx
ReplyDeleteI feel so sad that this is your last post for F&F, they will miss you terribly I am sure, but what a way to sign off! Your card is absolutely stunning, I love all the layers, the beautiful hearts and that lovely white doily in the background. Really, really stunning.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you have been so lacking in snow, it is such a shame for you but I guess your lovely furry friends won't be too unhappy... I love the adorable picture of sweet Missy and my favourite - Tubby Tessa. Sadly, two cats have moved in next door and are scaring away all the beautiful birds that visit our garden for the bird seed, but at least we still have the Heron and Kingfisher on the pond to keep us happy! Hugs, Anne xx
Gorgeous card for Valentines Pamellia, wonderful layers of colors and embellishment, stunning card to finish! sure they will miss your creative makes.

So sad to learn that this will be your last challenge with us, Pamellia. You and your beautiful creations will be missed. Life does, indeed, throw us some curve balls. But when you connect with a curve ball in baseball, it usually means a home run is your reward. I hope that is the case for you. This is such a gorgeous card! Your layering skills always make me think of puff pastry! The color palette is perfection and the lovely details just sing. Wishing you all the best in the future. I hope you'll still have time to create and take your lovely wildlife photos. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLovely in pink! Fab textures as usual Pamellia. Love the ribbon on this one. Your squirrels make me smile every time I see them. Hope all is well with you and you're making time for new adventures. Hugs
ReplyDeleteA HUGE sigh, for this beautiful card, with, as always, the special details to enhance and show everything off to it's advantage, the most beautiful colours and details. LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteYour nature photos are also something I would love to have a little of your talent in.
I suspect Frilly and Funky will miss your beautiful cards.

Yes I will be your Valentine, since you asked so nicely and made such a scrumptious card! Hehe. I'm sure your DH won't mind. This is a stunner of a design. Every time I look at it I see something new. Your attention to details always leaves me scratching my head like "why didn't I think of that?" And then I remember you are the BOSS at shabby chic. Awesome sauce, Wowzers, gorgeous, and splendid! Loves it! Your pics are hilarious as usual and so thrilling to see. Tubby tubs, the entire lot of them. Haha. I bet FF will miss you dearly, you use their products smashingly well and nobody can beat that. Hugz to you muffin!~Doc
