Animal Magic

Good morning,

Well, what a miserable couple of days - I hope everyone survived the dust cloud!

It's time for our next challenge over at Polkadoodles and this week the new theme is

'ANIMAL MAGIC'

Now, with so many fab CDs to choose from by the talented Nikky Hall, it was a difficult decision - but one of my favourites won. Here's what I started with using the super 'Sugarplum Daisy CD' ...

And here's the finished result ...

I decided to get all 'busy as a bee' in readiness for some nice weather to come our way. I'm not usually a bright colours person, but I love the yellow on this one. I started with a shaped template and added papers from the CD. All the imagery and the sentiments are also from the CD. I added a few extra embellishments from my stash, including a bit of frantage powder (supposed to represent the pollen!), some polkadot ribbon, a couple of yellow brads, some die-cut flowers made from scraps of leftover paper and a little gold metal swirly bit on the sentiment ticket. Can you see the bit of honeycomb embossing at the bottom too?

I am looking forward to seeing which animals you all choose to play with, and don't forget to check out Team B's midway inspiration next Friday too.

I am entering this in the WeDoobadoo challenge - Sweet as Honey

Animal Friends

Good morning everyone,

I can't believe it's Friday again - it comes around so soon. It's time for another challenge over at the Polkadoodles Challenge blog and this week we would love to see your projects showing ANIMALS. This was such an easy one to do - I love any stamps/images depicting animals - here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

I love these little hedgehogs - they can be found on the 'Sugarplum Daisy CD', together with the backing papers and the sentiment.  I coloured them with my Promarkers and added a few embellishments from my stash. Hope you like it!

Hugz, Jan xx
