Fighting Dinosaurs

A new toy, well new to me... is a Quickutz portable die cutter. Small enough to fit in your handbag, but certainly heavy! With this new toy, i've been using the many Quickutz dies i have collected, including two dinosaur ones.This die cutter maybe second hand, but i'm giving it a new life, and in the process, i'm working new ideas to try, for both cards and toppers for future cards.

It's also taking my mind off the pain of Fibro with a flare up after getting sunburnt on Thursday last week..
I admit i'm still feeling the effects after forgetting sun cream, something i won't do again! But seeing my son do his last sports day, at his current school, was worth every moment. His smile when he saw me was something i will never forget. Him and his class mates did really well, and i'm proud of how well he did his best, when it was such a hot afternoon, and it was lovely to bring him home, his excitement still bubbling around in his system and his smile was with him for the rest of the day.

And so today, my challenge will be get the place hoovered, even though i should be resting, but after die cutting dinosaurs, confetti is covering parts of the floor. Sprinkles of red, blue and green as well some browns and purples over blue carpet, so pretty but so messy.

And the dinosaur cards are done, ready for someone, who ever that maybe, and my son says this one looks as though he is chasing his tail. A googly eye adds to the fun of this card . Lets face it, so many kids, and adults, love dinosaurs, and watching Jurassic Park is often the case here. ( Yes we are excited about the new movie. No we haven't seen it yet.) But I have enjoyed making these, a scene from a time gone, but something which i hope will bring a smile.

And so with dinosaur cards done, and die cutting finished, it's time for the housework to be done. Painkillers loaded in and the cat hiding., it's time the hoovering started.

Hope you have good days, and get some crafting time.
