Meet Sav

I would like you all Meet Sav, He came to live with us this evening and is a Chihuahua,Yorkshire Terrier cross , They are known as Chorkies and he is 11 weeks old.

he is so damn cute.

Our much loved Yorkie Max passed away at the start of the New year he was nearly 15.

The last few months We have bee ready to welcome a new member of our family.

We Bought Sav short for Savvi home this evening

 He is such a bundle of energy rushing here there and everywhere, learning his new home.

It was so hard to keep him still to take these photos

 This was the easy ones all worn out and sleeping

I am sure there will be lots more photos over the coming weeks as we get to know this little fellow

Snowglobe Mice

Christmas Friends

 So love these little Mice, how cute are they.

Just had to make them into a card

 So just printed out all the decoupage layers, don't be afraid you give them a bit of shape, it even helps if using foam pads to add an extra foam pad on top of the centre pads, this gives extra hight and rounds the decoupage off.
I then glittered the tops of the Hats and some of the snow flakes on the background papers, that come from Bearly Mine designs

Image is one of Trinas and I used a template from Sammy

I have had this card half way designed on the PC for ages( well last Halloween) , I found it while I was deleting some unused files.

 It still needed a few finishing touches to get it right

So today I had a ME day and got it finished off, Cut out and made up

 The art work from nitwits, 

I Don`t know if you can remember, This was the kit that I used for my October blog background for last year.

I might put it back up for this Halloween 

I do love playing with these designs

 In this photo you can see all the different layer, That stand out when the card is opened.

It all folds flat for posting

I am very pleased the way it turned out and it will be going to my young niece.

It was meant for her last year, but better late then never,

just need to get the Christmas one finished now.
