Santapaws

Hi crafty buddies,

I'm getting a bit excited now as its only just over a week until my hols, yipee doo. So to get me in the mood for sun-drenched Tuscany I thought I'd do a little Christmas card using the fabby image from my crafty buddy Annabel at Knitty Kitty digis.

This is Santapaws and you can find him over at the store as part of the Build a snow scene set. These are such great images you can create you own little winter scene

I've uses some Winter background toppers from Scrappers delights to make up my scene

Slow is Good

Hi crafty peeps,

Its time for a new challenge over at Sheepski Designs Facebook Group.
You can use any Sheepski image that you wish and its Anything Goes so come and join us here in the group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1730005463906336/?ref=br_tf

Andrea has only recently drawn this little cutie, OH my isn't he adorable. I so want to go hangout with him. I coloured him with prismacolor pencils
Here's a bit of stuff you may not know about sloths:

• Sloths are slow, but their insides are even slower. If your sausage and bacon breakfast is taking a little longer than usual to move its way down your tummy, spare a thought for the poor sloth – it takes him 30 days to digest just one leaf.
• Sloths are cute. FACT. An obvious fact, but a fact nonetheless.
• Sloths don’t stink. Sloths don’t sweat and have no body odour, which helps them avoid predators.

You can find the image over at the store

Be Mine Unicorn

I'm sharing some inspiration from the fabulous Scrappers Delights today  for the challenge blog.

As you know for the next 3 months I'm working with the Scrappers Delights Challenge team providing inspiration for the blog challenge

Come and join us great prizes to be won 
https://scrappers-delights-challenge-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2017/

The theme is always Anything Goes

I love a unicorn and I thought a rainbow maned one would be a bit magical.

Did you know? The earliest record of unicorns in Western literature belongs to Greek historian Ctesias. In the 5th century BCE, he wrote that the beast had a white body, purple head, blue eyes, and a multicolored horn—red at the tip, black in the middle, and white at the base.

Floral Heart

Hi there crafters,

Can you believe its August already where on earth is this year going to?
This month I'm doing an extra project for the lovely Andrea at Sheepski Designs for the blog challenge and this months theme is Flower Power.
You don't have to use a SheepSki image to enter but if you do and you're a winner you'll bag yourself an extra image.

Would love to see your entries https://sheepski-designs-challenges.blogspot.co.uk/
Here's my little bit of inspiration using Flora Heart which I took into Mr Craft Artist and added a background and sentiment then coloured it with copics. I cut out 2 of the butterflies that is an option in the image and placed them outside the heart and added a die cut bow.

You can find Floral Heart here at the store
