AYLI (DT) Animal
Hello everyone, doing anything special for the last day of November? Eeeeek,
where did that month go?!
As well as that, it's time for another challenge over as AS YOU LIKE IT and the theme
for this fortnight is ANIMALS (your favourite, and why)
Regular readers of this blog will know that I am most definitely an animal lover, and
top of that list is cats (yes, even you Rosie), followed closely by dogs, rabbits, squirrels, donkeys, alpacas, oh let's face it, anything with fur on is good for me!
I could not resist this goofy chap
Isn't he fun!
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Die-Namics Stitched Basic Edges and Stitched Scalloped Basic Edges
Papermania snowflake paper
Rymans pink and purple cardstock
Clearly Besotted sentiment Say It's Christmas
Our sponsor for this challenge is
Looking forward to seeing all your favourite critters!
Hugs to all

DTDF (DT) Santa Penguin
Morning all, me again with my make for the DIES TO DIE FOR inspiration blog.
Is it Santa? Is it a Penguin?
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)
There's not much I can really add to that, except he is such a fun stamp
to play with!

Spring Chick (DT) DTDF
Happy Saturday all! I hope you are enjoying your Easter break (or itching for the kids to return to school, depending on how the holidays are going!).
It's my day over at the DIES TO DIE FOR blog and I have some Spring cuteness for you
The linked ingredients used are all available at the Dies To Die For online store
So for the third in my clutch of chicken themed cards I have used
Die-Versions font die - this one is Hint of Lime, but Hint of Mint would work equally well
and additionally, Distress Inks (ReInkers)
I love Krista's quirky designs, they always make me smile, and this little chick certainly does that, she just looks so very happy
There's a cheeky little FREE POSTAGE offer on at Dies To Die For for UK customers over the Easter Weekend so it would be rude not to at least have a look!

Ahoy Matey!
It's Father's Day in the UK, and I had been wondering for quite some time what I would do for my darlin' dad this year.
After a rummage through my stamps, I came across this one and thought that it would make him laugh, and it did.
Stamp is Pirate Boy by one of my favourite Whimsy artists, Krista Heij-Barber
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Whimsy corner dies
Gingham paper from Create & Craft
Red cardstock is Bazzil
Custom made gatefold card base
Right then, it's European Grand Prix day and it's a new circuit which could be a bit
of a challenge - I'm off to get the inks out and watch the race!

SRC Wild Things Challenge Reminder
There are two weeks left for you to enter the Squirrel's Random Challenge of Wild Things - there haven't been that many entries so far so anyone who does have a go is in with a very good shout of winning a fabulous prize.
As a reminder of what the challenge is about, it's anything wild - animals, plants, weather, party people - so there is plenty of scope to play with.
Here is my reminder card
That talented photographer, Squinty McSquint, has been busy again
So, a CAS layout from me
A Whimsy stamp from Krista Heij Barber called Hanging In There
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Sentiment from Clearly Besotted
Matting layer is from a Dovecraft Christmas collection!
I go ages with hardly any postings at all, and suddenly you get two in one day, you can tell the computer has been fixed, ha ha!
Right then, off you go and have a wild weekend, but please do enter it into the challenge.
Hugs to all

Santa Penguin
Hello peeps, it seems like an eternity since I was last able to sit at the computer and do a post, even though it isn't really.
Thanks to everyone who has sent get well wishes, I have some wonderful friends out there in blogland. I think I am finally starting to improve, the "tasered daily" feeling is now reduced to "wrapped in an electric fence" sensation and the blisters are beginning to go.
This is the first card I have made in over two weeks, and it took me ages. I had almost forgotten how to use the inks!
I had promised that I wasn't going to indulge in any new Christmas images this year. That lasted about three days until all the new releases started to appear, and as soon as I saw this one I could resist no longer.
This is Santa Penguin by Krista Heij Barber, one of my favourite Whimsy Stamps artists
Very simple layout with Dovecraft Glad Tidings papers
Image painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)
The sentiment comes with the stamp, I didn't even separate them
Hope he makes you smile as much as he did me.

You've had the girl, here's the boy - super!
The other day I posted Winnie's card featuring Super Girl from Whimsy stamps, illustrated by the very talented Krista Heij-Barber - love this lady's work, and I have several more of her stamps on my wish list.
Anyhoo, I am popping by today with my version of another of her stamps.
Self explanatory I think - this one is Super Boy
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers) and a touch of Polychromos
Cardstock is all from That's Crafty
Custom card base - it opens just to the left of the stars
Sorry for the poor quality photo, I took it Tuesday evening and must have just missed the decent light. Will try and get a better one at the weekend to replace it with.
I have a couple more of Krista's images still to ink, so look out for those coming in the
not too distant future!
Kerrpow!
Hugs to all
Squirrel xx
