As You Like It Challenge (DT) Favourite Animal

 Oh my goodness me, there is late, and then there is my style of late, so let's pretend

it is still Thursday shall we.

The new challenge theme from As You Like It Challenge is

Your  Favourite Animal (and why)

I love all animals so this was a difficult choice, but in the end I went down the fantasy

route and chose a dragon.  I'm particularly partial to cute dragons, especially this sort.

The joy of them being fantasy is that you can use whatever colour you fancy!

Isn't he just super cute all covered in sugar frosting?!

The things I used for this make are:

Whimsy Stamps DP1052 Birfday Dragons, and

CWSD354 Simple Sentiment Strips

HoneyBee papers HBPA039 Giddy For Gingham

Taylored Expressions papers TEPP120 Playful Patterns Sweet

MFT papers Petite Plaid

and lots of Distress Inks (ReInkers) as water colours

The sponsor of this challenge is

Lawn Fawn

I do hope you will find time to join in the animal fun!

Long Time No See (DT) Dies To Die For

Morning all, happy weekend to you.  Now that we are in to September, my crafty mind has gone into panic Christmas mode.  Why do I always leave it so late?!

I crocheted the husband a bobble hat earlier in the year.  Despite very careful and repeated measurements it came up rather large, it will certainly keep his ears warm, and probably his knees as well - a bit like this one.

Do penguins have knees?

MFT Sentiments - Bitty Holday Wishes MFT-CS-417

Penguin coloured up with Zig Clean Colour brush pens used as watercolours

All I can say is thank heaven for "Stick It" adhesive sheets, I would have got in a real mess with that delicate snowflake without it.  I discovered the joy of it some time ago and used to be really sparing in how often I used it, but I must be getting lazy in my old age as I find myself reaching for it time and time again these days.
