DCM - Where the Wild Things Are

The Challenge at DCM today has been set by Kathy. The theme is ANIMAL and you can use anything that's animal inspired - not those diddy little ones like bugs, birds and butterflies (though you can include them in your design of course) but what I'd really like to see is bigger, wilder, more fabulous or fantastic creatures.

I have a lovely little Elephant stamp that I bought a couple of weeks ago, and have been waiting for an excuse to use. This was the perfect opertuniy but do you think I can find it, No! Worst of all though is OH was with me when I bought so I know I haven't hidden it anywhere!
'
So I did these instead, I love these Decoupage kits, they are so easy to do. This first one is Barbara's Decoupage Wait for me!... Kit, and yes you guessed it, it's from Daisy Company.
'
I've left the top of the card open because my idea is to to either put the name of the person getting the card, or a different sentiment like "We're Moving" or something like that.

This next card is Barbara's Swinging Around Z Card, graphics by Sarah Minor, another Daisy Company Kit, it was included in the Club D.A.I.S.Y. October Issue.

I Crystal Lacquered the Banana's and the Tree Trunk.

Birthday Card

This is just a quick Post as it's Colin's Mum's Birthday today and we're going to pop round shortly. This is the card that I have made for her.


It was made with Barbara's Roses Decoupage Kit, graphics by Lucy Hampton. I glittered the Sentiment and borders, and added "Mum". It's another kit from Daisy Company.

New Baby Boy Card

With the Imminent arrival of my First Grandchild and it being a little boy, Blue Baby Cards have caught my attention lately.


This is another of Barbara's Decoupage Card Kits "Ahhh Teddy" Blue, Graphics are by Eline Pellinkhof and it's from Daisy Company.

Nephew's Birthday Card

I needed a card for my Partners Nephew, something that was going to be quick and didn't require alot of thought. You know what it's like when it comes to Cards for Men and Boys!

I used Barbara’s Decoupage--Leap Frog Jeans Boy and Girl Card Kit. The Graphic's are Gina Jane Johnson's and it's from Daisy Company. It was really easy to put together and it gave me a quick solution to my problem that could otherwise hae taken me a week to think about and then possibly still have nothing.
