Say HELLO to Baxter.....
Hope everyone is well?
Just popping in to show you a card I've made with one of the up and coming 'its a bear thing' images....
meet Baxter......
Getting a bit fed up of making Christmas cards already, so thought I'd have a break.... how cute would this be for a valentines card...?
Seems there are a lot of you looking forward to the release of these bears.... don't worry, It won't be long....
The 'Love' sentiment has been made by just cutting out the centre panel of the soon to be released 'roundabouts' sentiments... (see post below) the 'U' is just hand cut.
Hope you like?....
I'll be back VERY soon to show you what the DT have been up to.....

Friday Freebie... and Preview time!
I'm really sorry I let you down last week, and didnt have a freebie available.... Things were just a bit hectic here!
Bears used to be my 'thing' when I first started designing printable images... but its been ages since I've created any new ones..... thought it was about time we saw some new bear characters...and I've gone bear crazy!!!!
There are 11 images to start with in this new range... 'its a bear thing' featuring the bears, Bronson, Baxter, Bridget and Bailey.... and joining them are some other little friends.... including Beaker the robin, who features in this image....which is your freebie this week..... Bronson and Beaker stargazing....
THIS IMAGE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FREE!!
YOU CAN PURCHASE IT IN THE SHOP FOR JUST 99p
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FRIDAY FREEBIE..
I've decided from now on, the freebie will only be available for 1 week, and will be removed on a Friday as the new one is added.... this will enable me to offer freebies from a new range, and then add it for sale later.....
SO YOU NEED TO BE QUICK TO GRAB THEM!!!
I hope to be able to show you some fabulous creations from my super talented DT later on, featuring these lil bears...
oooooohhhh.....but theres more......
also coming very soon are some printable sentiments.... i'm sure these will be so useful!! sentiments are something I really struggle with, which is why most of the time I handwrite them.... but these will be a lifesaver.....look out for them in the shop....
Hope you have a lovely Friday!!

Joyful Tidings Release...
Well, I've finally been able to add this new range to the shop today!!! have had trouble loading images to the site (webhosting problem!!) so have been ringing here, there and everywhere to try to get answers! in the end I wasn't happy with any of the 'solutions' I had been given so figured out an alternative method myself..... so if product listings look a little different...you know why!! takes alot longer this way, but still..... at least I can get new products added.... which is good news for you as I've added these 4 today....
