Dog of the Week

This week's gorgeous boy is Lodge!

Lodge is a good looking Brindle boy - he has been described as a happy dog with a loving nature - Lodge can come across as a little boisterous when you first meet him and can be a little strong on the lead but with a firm hand this will soon disappear

Lodge has only had 29 races U.K. and Eire he last raced at Poole in December 2012   -  Lodge is definitely a boy to consider when checking out the dogs available for homing

February Challenge at Ready Teddy Go!

Can you guess?? Our challenge this month is 'Love is in the Air'!

Let's some hearts and romance on your projects alongside a bear/teddy of course!!

Our wonderful sponsor this month is Meiflower

who are providing a goody bag for our lucky winner!

Well done to last month's top 3 it was such a difficult choice!

Anyway without further ado here is my Love is in the Air Teddy Bear Tag!

The background of the tags is one that I made last month - experimenting with di's and water on water colour paper.

I used my magnolia doohickey's for the lovely heart tag (new!) and used the punch outs from the black tag as embellishments.

I think the snow must of affected the light as the edges are distressed with worn lipstick and it look orange! This lovely ted is peekabear (also new) and I used of the alphabet sets from studio g.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the dt's fabulous makes over on Ready Teddy Go!
