On to the creations:

This first digital image is Kuruku Loo - and he is CUTE!!!! I had so much fun working with this dude (or dudette) I made SO many cards to show you! These are all coloured with copic markers. Unless otherwise stated, paper is Stampin Up! And of course, GOOGLY EYES!!!! I love them!!


The first card is a SPINNER card - I got the tutorial off of SCS. If you haven't tried one of these cards yet, you SHOULD!!! It was so fun and this cat was perfect for the spinner! He is mounted on 2 pennies, and as you tilt the card, he spins along the track. So cute!!! I had a zillion sentiments running through my head too!!! I took 3 pictures of different spots as he spun across the card - I should have taken a video cuz they are sooooo much fun to play with!!!!







This card cracks me up!!!! I made Kuruku Loo smaller than normal (I think he is about 1.5 inches across) and stacked them on top of each other.

Here is another Kuruku Loo card - it ended up looking more like a Halloween card than a masculine card but I still think he's cute!!! The sentiment is from Pink Cat Studio. The DP is from Heidi Swapp.



Another Kuruku Loo - with sparkly paper from DCWV.

And one last look at Kuruku Loo - using Basic Grey "Figgy" paper.




The other image I worked with was Flower Bunny. Perfect image for Easter or Spring! Isn't this bunny adorable?
Thanks for stopping by.....have fun checking out the other Design Team blogs!!! AND good luck on ALLLLLLL that yummy candy that is out there to win during our VERY FIRST EVER BLOG HOP!!!!!!!!! Soooo exciting!!!!!! Have a great day! I will post the winner of my Blog Hop Candy on April 5th!!! Come back to see if you are the big winner!!!! :)
