Deep In The Jungle

Afternoon All.
Well the kids have now broken up, summer holidays have begun, and still no arguments - yipppeee, hey, but it's only day 2 :o). Plus, the sun is out, so I can play in my garden now as well - I tackled the lawn yesterday, so at least the view out the window now looks like a garden rather than a wild flower meadow (does that sound better than yellow with dandelions lol).
Anyhow, today see's the start of a new challenge over at Here Come The Boys, and I loved this one, it's a 'Jungle' themed male orientated creation. I thought I'd do some decoupage for a change, so I hope you like my creation. Check out the other DT cards as well because they are awesome xx Our prize this time is from our very own Woo, and she is offering a paper stack of 50 lovely papers and a card tag pack, so as the saying goes 'you have to be in it to win it', why not hop on over and join us.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
Joanna Sheen - animal crackers
Hiding In My Craft Room - lots of layers
Send A Smile For Kids - animal cards
Charisma Cardz - favourite animal (elephants)
and
Cupcake Craftroom - lots of layers
Thanks for looking, and I'll see you again soon.

Poker Faced

Afternoon All.
Well today sees the launch of a new challenge over at CRAFT, and this week we would like to see you use a playing card on your creation.

Once again there are 4 fantastic sponsors for this challenge; Eiglas, eyeCandie Creations, HopeJacare and LEJ Designs. I hope you will pop on over and join in the fun.
I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Summer Garden

Evening All.
Sorry I'm late with todays posting, but it's just been one of 'Those' days. Small person had a PJ day at school, and I spent ages trying to convince him he really ought to put pants on under the pyjama bottoms as there were a bit loose, and I didn't fancy any flashing incidents at school. But at least they raised lots of money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. After dropping him at school I came home to find the cupboard under the sink had flooded - and so the day goes on.......
Anyhow, todays card is ready for the new challenge at CRAFT, where this week we would like to see your summer themed creations - think I should have done a rainy card, think it would have been more appropriate.
I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;
Incy Wincy Designs - summertime
and
Secret Crafter - use pastel colours
Thanks for looking, and I hope you don't get too wet this summer lol
