I managed to snag this handsome chap to create with!

I coloured Axel up with my trusty Promarkers then cut him out
The base card is an A6 Landscape.
I printed the background photo onto glossy photo paper 
 then matted it on to some white card.


The sentiment was made on the computer using Lumberjackfred font
which you can download for free here!
I cut it out with a nestie & inked with distress ink while it was still in the die!
The inside of the card has a paper insert, sorry I forgot to get a photo.
 It simply says "Be My Valentine"
I've also added a little uncoloured image of Axel just for fun!
I hope you like my card!

Enter The Dragon

Hi folks,
I have a little Chinese New Year card to share with you today!
I had to make a couple of these, but as they were for totally unrelated parties, 
I was able to use the same design for both! 
 A great time saver!


I trawled the internet looking for a suitable image to use but I just
couldn't find anything I liked.
Then I remembered Dilbert Dragon from The Crafty Pad Designs!
He's a cute little dragon is he not!!!
I didn't intend to go cute but there you have it!
I couldn't stop singing "Puff The Magic Dragon" as I was making these!
I made the sentiment up in my graphics programme
then added Dilbert to the centre.
The base card was cut using a Grand Scalloped Circle Nestie which I 
then scored & folded in half!


I cut a smaller scalloped circle of gold mirror card with a regular nestie.
I cut Dilbert out using an Inverted Scallop nestie & inked the edges.
The image was coloured with Promarkers & I added a touch of Glamour Dust
to Dilberts wings &  horns!
I added a couple of Oriental Peel off's which are supposed to represent water,
also a feature of this Chinese New Year I am informed.
The numbers were die cut but I can't remember the name of the alphabet!
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm On Strike!

Good Morning all!
How's the weekend going??? 
I can't believe how hectic this year has been so far!
Still it's good to be busy, right???!!
So, how about getting busy with this weeks challenge over at 
Here's my little card.


I only have one photo for you today but I think that shows all
you need to see!
The image the DT were given to work with this week is
This image is available at The Crafty Pad Designs
either coloured or uncoloured the choice is yours
for the princely sum of just 59p 
Wowsers!!!
It's a great little image to work with & I went off on a little search
to find just the right papers to team it up with!
I actually found a Digital Scrapbooking Kit
It was a perfect match as far as I am concerned!
I used the papers & elements from the kit to make a card front
using my graphics programme. (A first for me!)
I printed this out A6 size (twice) & added a bit of decoupage for some dimension.
 I then printed, coloured & cut out the ten pin image.
 I attached to the card with foam dots for more dimesion.
The only embellishments I added were some silver Card Candi.
I hope you like it!
Hope on over to The Crafty Pad to check out the other DT projects!
It's always a surprise to see what different result are achieved with the same image!
I hope you can find the time to play along this week in our
Ooopsy, I almost forgot to mention our wonderful sponsor
