DT card and a GDT card

At Winter Wonderland this week we are looking for cute creatures. A nice easy challenge this one as we all have some mice, bears, hedgies etc hiding away in our Chrismas stash. I have used the fab sketch at Sketch Saturday for my Whiff of Joy stamp Henry ski-ing. Papers are DCWV and Basic Grey. I simply added some glitter to his hat, some sparkly snowflakes and a lovely gold sentiment. We hope to see you joining in this week for the chance to win 4 digi stamps from The Cutting Cafe. Hope over to the rest of the DT for more cute creatures.

I was invited to be the guest DT member for Teddy Stampers for May and here is my first card for them. There is a lovely sketch to follow and a colour scheme of brown, pink, blue and yellow. This sounded like a real challenge at first but once I had decided on this cute LOTV bear and used all those colours on her and her shopping the rest fell into place. She certainly looks a determined shopper. She must have spotted a craft shop,lol! The border is cut with my MS deep fan border punch. Papers are K&Co. I am also entering this into Crafty Angels recipe of 1 ribbon, 2 papers, 3 flowers and furry friends at A Spoon full of sugar.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. It has turned cold here again today and keeps trying to rain. The forecast isn't good for the weekend so hope to get some crafting done.
