Roar!

Morning All - what a lovely Saturday morning! You'll all be very pleased to know that I survived the dentist yesterday! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.....Joe if you're reading this, I hate it say it, but you were right!

I hope everyone has nice plans for the weekend. I've got an afternoon with my friends planned - we're having afternoon tea using Lorna's lovely china and then we're doing some crafts. So I've been busy this morning making cupcakes and choosing some crafts for everyone to try out...this afternoon we'll be making some wall art or an easel card.

I did make some time for some crafting of my own though.........

.....cute isn't he?? This is my favourite type of card making and what I think I'm best at.....taking loads of paper and making something. I do like digi images, stamps etc....but I really enjoy making something from scratch...whether it be a cute lion, a cupcake or a pretty dress!

This cheeky chappie is for several different challenges:

Allsorts - Baby or child

Papertake Weekly - Cutie Patootie - basically anything cute goes!

Cupcake Craft Challenge - Cat or dog - ok so, not technically a cat...but it is a rather big cat! I'd like to enter this challenge, but I'll leave it for the Cupcake Ladies to decide whether I've followed the theme properly! 

Right, I'd better get a wriggle on, still lots to do before I start eating yummy cake! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, whatever you're up to!

Thanks for stopping by,

Have a GGGGreat Birthday!

Morning All - another lovely morning! The sun has got her hat on! Although I hear that rain is forecast for the end of this week...typical I've got an annual leave day booked for Friday!

So, over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge they are celebrating the launch of new stamps with an anything goes challenge...wow the imagination ran wild! Take a peek here to see the new stamps in use in the fab DT designs. I think the cards and the stamped images are just gorgeous.

I decided to go with a completely different theme for my card.....

Not my usual style I know, but I fancied trying my hand at a children's card. I've created my lion topper out of yellow and orange paper, adding details with black pen and giving him some googly eyes to make him more child friendly! To keep the card bright and simple I have used a green backing paper on one side of the card and some lovely spotty paper in a smaller size on the other side. I completed the card with a pre-printed topper.

I think this card is fab....even if I do say so myself...it makes me smile and thats a sign of a fab card in my book! Ha, ha! I also made an elephant card, which I'm not so happy with....plus there is debate in my family because they think I've created a hybrid creature...take a look....

Apparently elephants do not have short curly tails....thats pigs! So I've created a piggie-phant!

Again, this card is created using plain and patterned backing papers. I'm not as happy with my colour combo in this card though.

For the ladies at SCSC its the lion card that I want to enter for the challenge - not my weird piggie-phant!!



Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy the sunshine wherever you are!
