Rawr!!

Hello lovely people,

I am so in love with all the cute new releases for Valentine's Day so you may be seeing a bit of a love theme on my blog over the next few weeks, starting with my Dies to Die For DT card.

I think this little dino is utterly charming and I've used the little speech bubble and sentiment to create a fun design.

I hope you've had a good week and have something fun planed for the weekend!

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the links at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Hello lovely people,

It's Creative Inspirations challenge time and this week we have the theme...

FOR THE BOYS OR SOMETHING SPORTY

We are sponsored by Crafty Ribbons with a £10 voucher

I have made another card using the awesome Sticks and Bones collection from Polka Doodles.

I had to make this card in a little bit of a hurry so chose a really simple design and the digital papers included in the collection were just the thing.

These little chaps are so much fun to colour and I especially love doing the messy hair :-)

I finished the card with a classic combo of twine and tags.
The little bones are also digital images from the collection and I added a little extra shading to them.

Dinosaur onesie

Hello lovely people,

I'm back again with a card for another one of my nephews whose birthday is in a week or so.  When he stayed over at ours recently he was sporting a rather fetching dinosaur onesie so when I saw this Tiddly Inks image I knew what I had to do!
The layout is super simple with the text printed on my computer.  I love this font; it was a free one called Skinny Latte if anyone wants to know!

I had great fun using a 'dotting' technique to get a scaly texture on the outfit.  As I was uploading these pics I realised that I hadn't given him any ground to stand on...oops!

I hope you have had a wonderful sunny weekend; I got about half of the garden tidied up, planted some spring garlic and sowed my tomato and chilli seeds - exciting!
