Dino... Showcase 7

Good morning to you all. I did not think I would be making a card this week for my  showcase as my mojo has not been co-operating with me at all. So I made myself sit at the computer last night until I came up with something, well 3 hours later I finally made one not sure if I like it.   I do have an apology to make to Lindsay, I am so sorry I missed the DT for your challenge at LEJ.

Please pop over and have a go, this week it is Re-cycle.

Right onto my showcase,  I hope you will pop over to the girls blogs and leave comments as they have really come up trumps again. You never cease to AMAZE me. Thank you ladies. 

This week for guest DT I have the lovely..........

I added peeloffs  and gems to the 5 x 5 base card to give a frame work.
