For the Love of Animals - Allsorts Challenge #725

 Hi Crafters,

April is National Pet month so with that in mind we would love to see all your pet related creations at Allsorts this week. You can opt for the Anything Goes option too but I'm sure we all have something in our crafty stash that fits the bill.

This image is from a Hunkydory Paper Pad and I have created my own background using Distress Oxide Inks and a leafy frond stamp. The flowers have been die cut and inked using the same colours and I have added glitter in abundance!

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Dream Valley Challenge - #292 Our 4 Legged Friends

Prizes this month are from:

Oakwood, AALL and Create, Stamp Addicts, Ruth Hamilton Design, Aldridge Crafts

I hope you can join in with us this week, the Design team have been very busy creating some fabulous inspiration for you - take a look HERE.

Well that's all from me today, see you here again soon,

Lorraine

Passion For Promarkers Challenge #436 - Babies (animals/people)

Hi Crafters,

Where is this month going? We will be putting the clocks forward at the end of the week too!!!

Well we have a new challenge at Passion For Promarkers using the theme of 

BABIES

(animals/people)

 Here is my card using this cute image from Di's Digital Stamps, our sponsor for this week, who is offering the lucky winner a $12 voucher for the store.

I went with a DL shaped card this time, I haven't used one of these for ages. My image is called 'Animal Safari' from Di's Digital Stamps and thought it was perfect for a baby congratulations card. It was coloured with my Promarkers of course, which as you know you must use if you want to be eligible for the prize, so please make sure you tell us in your post where you have used them. The gingham paper comes from a Milton & Co paper pad and the filigree die cut is an unbranded one in my stash. The sentiment dies are new to me from Creative Expressions and I really love the font used.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Fab n Funky - #385 Anything BUT Square

Crafty Creations - #362 ATG

Cute Card Thursday - #521 Celebrate

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - #459 Animals
