Dogs galore and a freebie for you all


This is one of the Amazing Puppies images by C Aldin

Morning Peeps, hope you are all OK and gentle hugs to those in need of them.

I have again been lucky to play with some if Ignacio's new images over the weekend and down below is a freebie from him for you all which you can lift for your own use.

Needless to say it was the dogs that I particularly liked, not only are they popular with the family but are ideal for the Animal Health Trust at Newmarket where I donate most of my spare cards. They sell really well in their Visitor Center and those with animals are especially popular, at the moment they are selling faster than I can make them...... the seventy I sent at the beginning of August had sold out by last week so another batch are on route as I write.

The sentiment on the top card is one of the new dies from All Occasion Dies by Robert Addams, we all know the name and he will be part of the new British Craft Network which launches at 9am on 1st October (to avoid confusion although it has 'TV' in the title it will actually be internet based, therefore available to the vast majority of us). They are such clever die sets, the Happy comes in one set with the sentiment in two sizes and matches exactly the Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary and so on which also have dies in two sizes in each set, they cut like butter and excellent value as well.

Note added: I have just been passed this link about the new British Craft Network, interesting reading.

There are six images in this pack called My Dog The corner lattice die is another from Robert and All Occasion Dies

Isn't he a darling ? He is one of the eight images from A Dog's Day design pack, and at $4.50 they are excellent value for money

Another from the Amazing Puppies by C Aldin, I just love this set

I have several more in the making and will share in due course. If you would like any of the sets and why wouldn't you because they are so cute, you will find links to them all under each of my photos.

This is your freebie, enjoy using it as much as I have

I made this one quickly this morning using the freebie, my youngest granddaughter said she thought the terrier looked sad but some ribbons and gems might cheer him up, so I duly added some of both and she was satisfied with the finished result. Personally I think he is rather sweet.


I must say thanks to Ignacio for working his magic and enhancing my photos and also the freebie and not forgetting my thanks to all of your lovely bloggers for popping in today. Hope you have a good Tuesday.
