Crazy about dinosaurs


Dino mite

My nephews are really crazy about dinosaurs. Bring them to the library and they head straight for the shelf with the books on dinosaurs. Don't ask me how many times we've watched Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. *LOL* Their dinosaur figurines are among their most treasured toys.


So I got pretty excited when I saw that my friend K had the Cricut cartridge for these cuties...[Hey, I've got to work hard to maintain my fave aunt status! *LOL*]


A little stickle-action for a sparkly finish...and some Gauche Alchemy fibers for some texture.


I was inspired by the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays, this fortnight's song at Scrapping The Music and the challenge at TAAFOMFT on fave toys.

Supplies: Cardstock, cork paper, stickles, thread, Gauche Alchemy embellishments, googly eyes, Cricut diecuts, thread, white pen, stickers.

P/s: I would really love for you to  play along with my guest Elizaveta's vintage-inspired challenge! :)
