Hee I was flying close to the wire with next month's calendar page for my Mum ;) For this month, I've gone with the theme 4-legged visitors who visit her house. From left to right, we have Poppy the labrador, Ruby the Westie, and Freddie the very timid lurcher (he's looking a bit squished here by the cheeky cat!) Mum doesn't have any cats but they do like to frequent her rose bed and leave her messages!
My stamps are from Eat Cake Graphics ...
3002-F Rowley smells something
3015-F Webster's tilting his head
2045-L Leap frog
Doggies coloured with watercolour pencils. Clear gloss added to their noses.
I went for the bokeh look with my background. I diecut a few different circles in a bit of card and used it as a template to chalk in lots of different circles.

Oh, your mom (mum) is sure to adore this fun and very sweet calendar page for May. The animals are so cute. I notice Ruby is in the bunch. I've had some of those cat visits, also. HaI like your Bokeh technique for the background.
By the way, I've been listening to Celtic Thunder today singing Ireland's Call, among others. Makes me want to visit your homeland even more.
