Its Summer at Bearly Mine

Good morning folks I hope you are all well, I would like to ask you to please keep my fur baby Stitch in your thoughts today as he is having surgery today as he has been quite poorly again and unable to pee because he has crystals in his bladder again so they are now going to cut part of his manhood off to expose the tubes and in affect make him into a girl so he is having a sex change and this is the last resort,I'm not allowed to go and see him as it stresses him out because he wants to home home with mummy lol, anyway here's a picture of my baby and his brother is missing him terribly too, so now you no why I've been MIA as I've not felt like doing much, our luck has to change soon surely its one thing after another at the mo.



Any way I best get on with it, its time for another challenge over at Bearly Mine Challenges and the theme is summer but I forgot to check the theme before I made my card, but I have used Donna's new papers called Summer Roses which are just gorgeous.
So for my card I've used Teddy Bea from the Three Little Piggies Summer Roses papers from Bearly Mine Designs HERE the fern leaves are my new Crealies Creative Shapes die.
