On Your Wedding Day

It's that time of the month where I share my creation for Natalie & Amy's with you. This month we have a great theme of....

FRAME IT!

you can use die cuts, stamps etc but your image must be framed.

I decided with a little help from Nige to use one of my Spellbinder Borderbilites to make a traditional frame. I was going to mitre the corners, but decided it looked fab like it was.....

Just love this cute image, they look so happy!

It's A Skunk!

Whoops an hour or so late with my post this morning, blame Nico! I got up, fed him, cleaned him out then he decided he wanted to play so I thought why not, but only for a bit....a bit turned into nearly two hours oops! Anyhoos here's todays post....

My Time To Craft have a new challenge starting today with a great theme

TAG IT!

all on its own, not attached to anything, just a tag!

I had great fun with this challenge, decided I need a tag & card to match to give to the vets who neutered Nico, just to say thank you. 

Well could I find a skunk image I liked, nah looked everywhere! Then Danni said why not try Deviant Art. (some awesome artists on here & most of them let you use their work for free, they just want a mention!)...so I did & I found this cutie. Loved colouring her in & making up my card & tag.

And my card to match. The tag will be going on one of those round tubs of Heroes!

Just love this cutie!
