Crafting for all Seasons #83 "Feature a Creature"

Good morning all.

Just trying to get back to some semblance of normality after my holiday! We had a lovely relaxing time in Norfolk with great weather...highlights included seeing Prince Charles and Camilla, along with Dames Judi Dench and Maggie Smith at the Sandringham Flower Show and driving an armoured personnel carrier at the Tank museum at Weybourne - think I missed my vocation, I should have joined the army!

It was exam result day here in Scotland yesterday...Lora did okay and got good results in the three subjects she's taking at Higher level but will have to redo her maths and possibly her english this next year.

Off out to lunch today to catch up with a friend....after I've had a smear test! Then Friday it's time for my annual MRI scan again which I'm not looking forward to but is a necessary evil.

Today it's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Feature a Creature". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. Our sponsor this time Lacy Sunshine who gave the DT images to work with.


I opted to use my own image this time and chose this cute little hedgehog from Penny Black which has been quietly waiting all year to be used! I've coloured with promarkers before die cutting. Dies are all from a Spellbinders Majestic Elements set...one I've had for ages and not made much use of!! Sentiment is from Wild Rose Studio. Gems are from Meiflower

I love how this card has turned out but you should see the pile of bits I'd created before coming up with this design!!


Fabulous Sponsor 2014
