Morning, all of you here and there and everywhere!

This week's Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #84 we have Animals. This is to honour Pet Pardons. Remember the charity trying to find homes for animals. Trying to find people who actually care who will Pardon a Pet from death row, or a Rescue, by adopting him or her and giving them a forever home.

To join our challenges you don’t have to use a Digi Doodle Shop image, but if you do use one, your entry will count twice. You are also allowed to enter our challenge as many times as you like, as long as you enter with a new card/craft.The winner of this challenge will win a $10 give certificate from Digi Doodle Shop where you’ll be spoilt for choice.

I spent good few hours to get this card right. And as usual, loved every second of it. Tried to catch feel of the winter, cold, but also beautiful and peaceful, bright sky and definitely 3D.

Stepper card are honestly easy to make with Hougie Board!!! I love it, I absolutely love it. It's fab with inches side and when you turn it over you have cm-side. I'm so lazy crafter that measuring puts me off but with Hougie it is NICE! 

My stepper card does not follow any specific template or guide, I just thought here, and here and here... yep. Here we go. Sure now when I know what to do, it won't take me hours :D

Image is from wonderful Digi Doodle Shop and the name of the stamp is "Bluebirds". Well, now they are two nice little robins and that's it! :)

After cutting and folding I spread a little ordinary sticky glue on the steps and covered with very thin fabric. Back a bit darker and natural white in front. Tree needed some masking because the original scene is summer rather than winter. Trees on the background and in front are all masked with snow tex and blue glitter.

Barbed wire needed some snow as well. Hih, and if you try this at home, becareful with cutting wires. They could broke easily.

The Iceberg Family

This week we have Challenge #83 Red and Green at Digi Doodle Shop.

The image I choose is just definitely perfect for the weather :) There is no snow here (yet), but here I am, mittens and woolly hat on. Hahah. True! I love  my house, don't take me wrong, but some insulation would be good, but nah... we don't need that kind of luxury here in Yorkshire! :D

Card is a heartshape easel. Couple of angles:

Beautiful Wolf Family - Animals 06

I love this image and hope my colorine honours the beauty of it. 

Or at least gives some justice :)


First things first.
This week our Challenge at Digi Doodle Shop
is "Sketch" and it is from our Karen's doings. ;)

Ok, my card... Sentiment is for every mother who protects her children and gives courage them to face the big world. World and life there is unpredictable, it could be cold, it could be full of dangerous things, but your mother will always protect you and try her best to keep you safe. Too often we do not realize it. Only when it is too late to say it. I miss my mother so much, it breaks my heart I can't call her, can't hear her voice. Can't wait to meet her again. As you know I believe in God and his word the Bible, and in the Bible our Heavenly Father has promised us better future with our love ones. Oops, sorry I got too emotional!

Animals 05 - Owl

I have been saving this image for who knows how long waiting for inspiration to kick me on the backside. It was coloured to be ready and some time ago I thought I've lost this! This morning I just knew what I wanted to make and here it is.

Owl is a beautiful creature, isn't it?

Poem on the back begins with
Grow Old With Me. (i.e. old-owl(d) of course I think it was good)

The idea of this came from a blogger, who created something similar using coasters, I had some real thick strong kraft and cardstock.

Animals 03 - Bear

Mmm... honey is nothing without a bear. On a card anyway!

Definitely he is singing

"Thank you for the honey, the honey I'm eating

Thanks for all the joy it's bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honeysty

What would life be?

Without the bees or beehive what are we? (HUNGRY)

So I say thank you for the honey

For bees giving it to me"

Liva said it nicely:

I encourage you to make a card with animal theme and pass this information further. There are no one more unprotected than our little friends - animals. Together we can make changes - even by doing something we love, such as crafting.

It took lots of courage me to publish this because I adore the image, but I'm not happy with the colorine, I keep trying to learn how  to get nice looking colours using marker pens. Well, obviously I need more practice. And oh boy, it is fun!

This card is made to honour Pet Pardons and all creatures, great and small.
