DTDF (DT) Polar Bear Pals

Morning all, me again with another post for the DIES TO DIE FOR inspiration blog.

Am I detecting a nip in the air yet?
OK, I know it is the end of October, and the clocks go back this weekend, but I'm
not sure it is really chilly enough for these two yet.

MFT:  Polar Bear Pals

MFT 6x6: Graphic Grid

Die-Namics: Stitched Circle Stax

Lawn Fawn: Mini Snowflakes

The only additions to this were the Distress Inks (ReInkers), Hunkydory holographic card and
some patient fussy cutting

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hugs to all

In The Pink (DT - belated) Ribbons/Bows

Okay, so I missed getting this made in time for the IN THE PINK challenge of RIBBONS/BOWS (Breast Cancer Awareness) so I'm pretending that this was meant to be a midway reminder!

As this awful disease has no boundaries on age, I used this particular

image to highlight the fact that it can affect young and old alike

AYLI (DT) People or Animals?

I'm sure it is a question many of us have asked ourselves, which do I prefer, people or animals.  

Well, that is the theme for this fortnights challenge over at AS YOU LIKE IT but you will of course have to explain yourself!

I do seem to have used a lot of people images on my cards lately, but I prefer the animals, in real life too.  They tend to appeal to everyone, and the same image can be adjusted for either a male or female recipient, and the majority of them are sooooo cute!

Awwwwh!

I have used:

Clearly Besotted: Little Donkey

Clearly Besotted: Say It's Christmas

Die-Namics: A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax Set 1 & 2

Distress Inks (ReInkers) & Polychromos Pencils

and the sponsor for this challenge is

Paper Nest Dolls

Prize is 3 images of winners choice.

The Paper Nest Dolls Blog

Looking forward to seeing your entries.

DTDF (DT) Puddle Jumping Twila

Hello chaps, hope this Saturday finds you fine and dandy.

Sorry for the absence from blogland and social media over the past ten days, I've been a

"bit" under the weather, but am hopefully now on the mend.

Speaking of under the weather, my DIES TO DIE FOR make today shows that

even the weather needn't get you down

With the right pair of wellies, a girl can do anything!

And the lovely things used are

CC Designs stamp: Roberto's Rascals Puddle Jumping Twila

My Favorite Things: All About You sentiment set

Die-Namics: You Trio

MFT 6x6 paper: Graphic Grid

and the MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil

Image has been painted, as always, with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

and I used the Faded Jeans Distress Ink pad for the clouds

Hugs to all

AYLI (DT) Flowers or Ribbons

Hello gang, hope this finds you well.  There's another new challenge starting

over at AS YOU LIKE IT today and the theme for this fortnight is

Your Favourite - Flowers or Ribbons

(and purrrleeeeeeeeease tell us why)

OK, so, here's the dilemma, I don't often use ribbons or flowers!

I have tried in the past, but "dog's dinner" comes to mind, froo-froo just isn't

my style.  So, I furtled about in the stash to see which of the two evils I have the

most of, and was horrified to find a rather sizeable collection of flowers, so I thought I had better use some!

The lovely things I have used

Stamping Bella Tiny Townies Garden Girls: Rose (stamp and die)

Nitwits paper pad (LOTV) Always & Forever

LOTV Krafty Christmas

Die-Namics Bold Stripes Cover Up

LOTV Circular Sentiments

Wild Orchid Crafts - small flowers and rose leaves

Image painstakingly painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Crafts U Love
£10 voucher

and all that remains is to wish our beloved leader, Annette, a VERY happy birthday for today!

Hope you will have a rummage in your own stash and then share your

fabulous makes with us.

Hugs to all
