Pollycraft Monday Challenge *23* Furry Friends (animals)


Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend. I have been away for a Spa weekend and got back late last night so I am enjoying some time with my little girl Grace and my husband Will today.

Well onto my card, this is my DT card for Pollycraft Monday Challenge and the theme for this challenge is 'Furry Friends' we want to see animals on your cards. You don't need to use a Pollycraft item to join in the challenge but for all of you that do you will be entered into a monthly draw to win a £25 voucher to spend at the Pollycraft Designs online shop, how great is that! The beautiful image on my card is from the new 'Animal Scribbles' range and this little one is called 'Kitty Butterfly' which you can purchase here.


Thanks for stopping by.

Friday Sketchers .............


I was asked to make an anniversary card for an order but I was seriously lacking my mojo for this card! I could not decide on what papers to use even though I have enough to most probably cover the whole village where I live! Maybe thats the problem, I just have too many to choose from! In the end I choose these papers that I got free with a magazine ages ago and I was really pleased with how this card turned out.

I used a sketch from Friday Sketchers which I love! I really like the flowers being round the bottom of the card and I use this sketch again.

I hope you all have a great weekend, thanks for stopping by.
