Man's Best Friend?

I hope I am never put in a position of having to choose between cats and dogs, it's not a choice I could probably ever make.  They both have their pro's and con's.  However, what is undisputed is that dogs are always considered to be man's best friend. Thankfully my best friend doesn't drool on my slippers, and she's not a dog either!!

Anyhoo, there is a Man's Best Friend challenge over at Fantasy Stampers so as I already had a suitable stamp out on my craft bench I shall take my chances and enter.

So, this is Harley from Whipper Snapper Designs

(available at My Mum's Craft Shop here)

Painted in Distress Inks (ReInkers)

with a Personal Impressions sentiment

and bright stripy paper from a Papermania collection

the yellow gingham is from the scraps box

Hope your Sunday is as sunny as Harley's seems to be.

Hugs to all

Totally Gorjuss # 48 - Wild Thing

Yaaaay it's the weekend!!  Thought it would never get here.  As it is our wedding anniversary tomorrow we're having a bit of a lazy treat tonight and ordering in a Chinese takeaway - I'm already drooling at the thought!

Anyhoo, thank you all so much for your beautiful floral entries into last week's TOTALLY GORJUSS challenge.  We were awash with petals and all were gorgeous.  Don't forget to see who the lucky devil was who won the super prize from Wild Orchid Crafts.

So, onto this week's TOTALLY GORJUSS challenge.  Some of the Gorjussettes can be animals at times (LOL, only kidding guys, honest) so this challenge is WILD THING - we would like to see an animal somewhere on your creation!  Our sponsor is the wonderful CRAFTERS COMPANION. The DT have done it again and provided some fab inspiration for you.  Here is my card

Just love this Whipper Snapper monkey, I've coloured him with ProMarkers.  Nestabilities deckled rectangles for the matting around him, which I also used as a mask to sponge the edges of the white card.  Papers are all Basic Grey and the sentiment is Penny Black.

Come on, now is your chance to go wild (I'm so funny sometimes I worry myself) with your creative talents.

Hugs, Squirrel xx

Totally Gorjuss # 44 - Star!

Hello, and welcome to another challenge from TOTALLY GORJUSS - thank you for all your brilliant Aqua entries, don't forget to check the main blog to see who won the Lili Of The Valley voucher.

And this week's theme is "You Are A Star", or something with stars on anyway!!  Design Team have been brilliant again, always a huge inspiration.  Here is my DT offering

I could not resist those podgy little legs - L'il Ballerina from Whipper Snapper, papers are Basic Grey and from stash.  L'il is coloured with Copics and then covered in Art Institute Fine Glitter from the Egg Shell collection.  Nestabilities earned their keep this week.

Hope to see you all over at the challenge.
Hugs
