Animals

Hi!
I have been so busy of late, and both my cardmaking AND blogging have been forced to take a back seat for a while :(  I keep thinking things will settle down a bit, then along comes Monday and I hit the floor running and don't seem to stop! Hey-Ho, such is life.
 
This week at THE CRAFTY PAD we have been set a great challenge by our Rachel, and that's to
 
USE AN ANIMAL #193
 
We want you to use at LEAST one animal on your creations, in fact, the more the merrier!
 
Here's my creation, using Patch Flying, available from
The Crafty Pad Designs. (I used the uncoloured version, and coloured it with Promarkers, but he is also available in a great coloured version.)

 
As a friend of mine recently had a baby boy, I have made a congratulations card. It's a shaker card, with little buttons in the shaker, two shades of blue and some tiny number buttons 1, 2, 3.

A Close-Up of Patch

Inside the card

I hope you can see the buttons a big clearer in this photo.
 
We are lucky enough to have two sponsors this week,
 
 
who are offering a £5 voucher to spend in their fabby online shop
and

with this pack of Muted Tone Promarkers to another lucky winner!
As you can see, prizes well worth playing along for!
 
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
Thanks for popping by, I hope you have a great week.

What a gorgeous card! I'm absolutely mad about shaker cards and love making them, so your addition of buttons is spot on! Thanks for joining us at Digistamps4Joy, and as you also have a 'masculine card you are eligible for the BONUS prize! Good luck!
