Night Night Teddy Bo

This is my second post for today - too snowy to venture out and HW up to date so what better way to spend a snowy Sunday than making cards?

I treated  myself to some new Teddy Bo digi images and here is the first card I have created just in time for the Challenge over at Teddy Towers!


I have fallen head over heals in love with these gorgeous characters and I want them all right now!!  I coloured this hunk with my Prismas and kept the card quite simple.  The DPs are from my stash - promised not to buy any more papers til I used up my stash BUT that will not stop me printing off loads from the umpteen CDs I have he he!!

I am entering this into the current challenge over at Teddy Bo and hope I am on time for this one - keep missing the deadlines stupid old woman that I am :(

Using Krista's fab freebie

Many of you are lovers of Saturated Canary images and I managed to get this fab freebie with Krista's newsletter last week - I know some of you had problems getting it but mine came thru ok -
 I coloured her with my Prismas after viewing a fab tutorial (details in a prev post) and I have to say that my colouring has improved now (GAWD My head is getting too big for my neck now!)  Just need to get a rubber ordered for any more wee mistakes I make he he!
The DP is from a cheap pack I bought somewhere around the SE. I am entering this into Willow Sketchie's Sketch Challenge (have to try to get back into the groove of entering challenges - not been having much inclination since Xmas - family problems been getting in the way - but hopefully after my win over at Saturated Canary this will spur me on now.....

Sorry so late with this one




Over at Cardmadfairy's Digi Days this fortnight Jenni is getting us into the LOVE mode with the theme of Hearts - its that time of year folks when we are all thinking of love and spending loads of money on that special person - me? well no I am a firm believer in treating that special person (Graham in my case) each and every day and NO I am not a big softy -   I simply feel that all these 'special' days are just a commercial rip off :(

I am one day late with this card posting so apologies to all who were looking for this yesterday and a huge welcome to my new followers too!! HULLO GUYS :)

The winner this time around will get 3 digi images from the fabulous Crafty Sentiments Designs -
so do come and play along as we all have something with hearts on don't we?

I wanted to do something completely new to me so used my new Serif software here - I imported Jenni's fab digi image and printed directly onto a 5in square card.  I added a sentiment using the same package and then coloured the fab hearts with my Prisma pencils.  The lines around the outer edge are simply drawn with a Fineliner pen.  I have to say I am rather pleased with the result and hope you like it too.

I don't have time at the mo to link any challenges but will come back later to do this.
Bye for now guys:)

Sharing a pic of our tart with you all.....

Many of you know we have two young cats and they are very hard to photograph but I finally managed to get this comical pic of Sweep last night - we call him a tart when he lies like this and he does it all the time - showing off his privates  (that he doesn't have any more in any case!!) he he!

The second pic is of Sooty and Sweep and yea I cannot get a pic of them nicely sitting together - here they are playing with the camera lens cap and a pen!!
We adopted them as a pair of brothers in Nov 09 after our previous cat developed an inoperable growth on her leg - we sadly put her to sleep on 5th Nov 2009 and got these two rogues in the December.  They rule the house of course but doesn't every cat eh?

Thanks for looking my friends:)
