Animal antics!

Our September challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS 

is anything goes with the option animal antics.

We have two lovely prizes from AALL & Create up for grabs so be sure and

get your stamps out and join us!

For my card I went with a stamp set called Stylish Sketches (SU).

I made my card base in garden green and then added some

torn papers from a pack called Pretty Prints (SU).

I then stamped the fox and the greenery around him

and coloured them with my markers.

I matted him onto some green card and added him to the card.

I finished with a sentiment stamped in garden green

from a set called Country Flowers (SU)

and added a bow made of garden green twine.

It's our 45th wedding anniversary today!

Nothing planned for today but hope to be

celebrating away with a short break soon.

Half Crackers!

My video tutorial shows how to make these

half cracker type gift boxes.

I have done a tutorial on these before but for a much

smaller size that will hold one FF sweet.

I have stamped the penguin on each white piece.

But this time I needed them to hold these little jars of cream.

These will be another gift for the Christmas celebrations I am attending.

I did one box with a belly band and then decided I didn't like it

so the instructions show how to make the individual rectangles to decorate

your box. These cute penguins are hard to resist!!
