DT Post for LEJ Designs

Good morning! Its Tuesday so its time for a new challenge over  here at LEJ Designs challenge blog.

This week the theme is 'animals' and I've got a card to share with you made using one of Lyndsay's digis from her shop which you can find here.

First to the house keeping: the challenge runs for a week and there are two prizes. The first prize is any three digis of your choice from her store.
The second prize this week is £5.00 to spend in the Crafty Embellies store at http://craft-embelies.weebly.com/

Just a reminder too - if you use one of Lyndsay's digis in the challenge you go into a draw to win some more - can't be bad eh?

So here's my card using the image Lazy Lion:




I've made the card for the staff at the nursery where both my girls have gone and where my youngest will be leaving in just over a weeks time - they really have been wonderful but I wanted to make a child like card for them given the natre of the business!

In addition to lyndsay's lion image I've used a spellbinders die and the paper scraps came in a free stack from a magazine some time ago. I just cut then to 5cm squares, glued them together then used some stitching stamps I have to give the effect of quilting.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
joannasheenchallenge - Going round in circles
thepoodlesparlour - cute and cuddly
scrapitwithasong: the wild ones
thatcraftplaceblog: anything goes.

Hope to see you all again soon. Big Hugs
