Cute & Cuddly

Well its Monday again and that means 'The Crazy Challenge' and this week it was my turn to pick the theme...so as I love all things 'Cute & Cuddly' I thought that would be a good place to start lol

This little cutie is available from my friends new 'Didi Digi Shop' and there are some little stunners on there, and this one just jumped into my basket lol...

I thought I would show you a few different angles of him, because he is just soooooooo cute...

This one I took so you could see the glossy accents on his little nose ..

If you enter this weeks challenge (which I have sponsored)  you could win a few 'Create & Craft' goodies, remember you can enter with two different creations but they must both be new...

Wow!!!! so many cards to show and not enough time!!!

Just a quick post from me today, as Katie has hi-jacked my lappy to play the games on Facebook (my name if you wanna add me is Shell Swinscoe) as shes only 12 she uses mine...

This is another LOTV stamp I got whilst I was at the NEC and its the first time I've used it, had fun deciding what colour to do the horse in the end Katie chose lol

Such a sweet image, reminds me of when I was little and going horse riding with my Auntie Alison....

I have taken this close up so you can see where I have used my glossy accents...I do love these, I thought they were expensive for what they are, but they are gonna last forever...Its my first try at using my blender to take away colour. I have done the stable door using this technique..not sure if I've done it right tho...
