Crafty Catz challenge - ATG with Last Minute Manda

 Hello so sorry this is late I have had such a horrid few days I  took my dog for a groom a few weeks ago and since he hasnt been too good. Thinking it was just a new groomer and his ears where sore and that was it. Well last week he started not eating much and being slightly sick. But he was still his bubbly self. Think he has just eaten something that upset him was keeping fingers crossed.

Well Thursday night he had a last minute wee and a poo at 10.30 and bed. I woke to him at 7am shaking and just lay there. Quick ring round and vets not open till 9am I was in panic it brought back all my worries with my Sheltie. My son called with his son and took the day off as i couldn't look after little one and also tookme to vets . He had to have a scan xray and then they would ring me but looks like a operation. Well yes he had eaten a barbecue stick and it was poking out each side of his gut. So no going out for 2 weeks no running round no jumping up and soft food for few days. Worse is he has a cone of shame. Well he is home and, on the mend, if he doesnt burst the dissolvable stitches

So with all that I forgot to post my dt post for Crafty catz.

Our theme this week is ANYTHING GOES and the optional for fun twist is Make it Cute

We have a fab new sponsor

 Last Minute Manda 

shop - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LastMinuteManda

For my make I saw Chris had made some fabulous tags and thought why not I just love her. I have used a different set called Snowman Scene Builder

There is soo much in these sets. I urge you to pop over and checkout what the girls have done with them and visit the shop.

I only made 2 tags but used different elements and also one of the ready made scenes
