 How adorable is he??!!!!  As well as being perfect for Valentines Day, he would also be fantastic for a new baby or get well card.  I have coloured him in my pens, and then added some little pearl pen dots round him, and a little stickles under him.  I added some spotty organza ribbon and the cute bear button, and some card candy.

WOYWW

Its Wednesday - although it feels like it should be Friday, this week is really dragging!!  Anyway Wednesday means the ritual snoop around the crafty desks of blogland led by the amazing Julia.

So this is my desk - not looking that creative or crafty!!!  I have images to colour, images coloured up ready to put on projects ... and I am sat texting a friend!!!  Very creative!   And the image at the front of my box is a MayzyArt one of a girl texting!!
 

A couple of cards

 I love this image - but it is so not me!!  I hate shopping! I coloured it in using my pens and then cut her out.  I embossed some linen cardstock, and layered it onto white cardstock. I tied the ribbon round, with a bow.  I would have added a sentiment, but along with one of my rubber stamps, I have misplaced it:(

Baby it's cold outside

Another CAS card from me - and i am loving simply stamping on the cardstock, colouring and then adding  simple mat.  I stamped this cutie from LOTV and coloured her using my pens.  I embossed the MArianne Creatible tree onto the cardstock and simply doodled some extra lines to match those on the stamp.  I added liberal amounts of pearl pen, glamour dust and stickles, before stamping the sentiment.
