Corrie thanks so much for your kind words..... Susan Ewart.. thank you also for the comments you posted about my card. years ago i did traditional painting but had to give it away for health reasons.... but i have had the urge to try my hand at digital art and it is a new learning experience.. hopefully will be able to do more florals and a few scenes. Thank you to all who have left hearts for my card i appreciate it very much best wishes Dawn.

J:ust playing around. Had fun.

Thank your hubby for being the voice of reason...it's a good choice to post. This is outstanding. The flowers you made are beautiful. If this is your first attempt I can imagine the heights you will go. Isn't it great that you will be making your own elements that will make your beautiful cards that much more special and unique.

i have been having a go at Digital Art painting in a free software called Krita and the Daisy/gerbra kind of flower is my first attempt. i am hoping i will improve enough to do some more artwork this way for my card making. .. wasn't sure whether i should post this one, however my hubby thought it was good enough and encouraged me to post. the frame is another parchment one purchased years ago and have bevelled it and used luminance legacy mode on the layer. sprigs and leaves are from a brush set used in previous cards. blue flowers are from another purchased kit i also got a few years ago .... Best wishes to everyone... Dawn.

I found another layout I did for one of my newer Bettas. This is Comanche War Bonnet. I think this was the New Kid on the Block assigment from Boot Camp Day 2. I always had good results from this design. The background is a photo of my aquarium.

Playing around and having fun with my PSP is what I do most of the time. What a cutie.

Nice to meet the North America badger! We have badgers too and I suspect they are related to the UK badgers, because they form a family group as well. They are more or less used to humans and there are families that love to make their "homes" under railway tracks. The tracks lie on a manmade elevated trail so their burrows will keep dry in wet conditions! Of course this poses a danger to a track if it is undermined this way. The badgers are a protected species and have to be relocated carefully. The endangered tracks were temporarily closed until they were caught and given a new home while the old burrows were being filled and bared so they wouldn't be able to come back.

It would have been wonderful to have seen them when they were much younger, and smaller. Still you can see that she is still suckling them, even though they are as big as mum. I was so excited to see them, a real treat.

Beautiful family. This is the only chance I'll get to see them up close. The information you give to us is always informative and interesting.

I love how colorful this is. It would have been a fun night shoot if you had been able to go.

Week 27. It is prooving difficult to single out a photo to showcase for this challenge. Never the less, I won't be short of photos to showcase down the road. North America sow badger with her 3 cubs. They are not closely related to the UK badger. American badgers breed between July and August. The embryos don't start to grown unitl December or February. They don't hibernate. I see their tracks in the snow throughout the long winter months. Also the UK badger is a social badger, whereas the American is solitary. Mother was keeing a close eye on me, and I wasn't going to antagonize her either, as they can be aggressive, espcially when felt threatened. Her set is impressive, just over half way up the drive, which also runs under the drive, with several entrances and exits on either side. A rare treat to see them out in daylight, as they are nocturnal.

Dawn this looks absolutely lovely and I would be very happy receiving such a card on my birthday!
