August Sale at The Crafty Pad

This is my second post of the day - for my DT Post for LEJ Designs click here.


Back again! Just wanted to let you know about the special offers going on at the Crafty Pad this week. We usually have a new release to show you at this time in the month - but due to holidays etc.etc. Debbie has decided to be very kind and let the DT loose in store to choose some images - then she put the images chosen by the DT on special offer - I think for this week only - with a whacking 30% off! Check out the full details here - and check out the images the DT have used - you won't be sorry you did!

I chose Albert Digging for my image and this is what I did with him.




I made a pop up card for my husband for our next wedding anniversary - I must add that I've given albert a cup to hold - which doesn't come with the actual image - but I'm sure you're crafty enough to do that if you wanted to! I've coloured the image with promarkers and used glitter paper from craft-time to form the soil. I've cut shapes from funky foam for the soil and added a tree from a diecut by memory box behind Albert! The wall outer and the sentiment are both kanban. What do you think? I love him to bits!!!!

I'd like to enter albert into the following challenges:

herecometheboysblogchallenge: Boys and their toys ( gardening tools)
paperplaychallenges: Layer it up
Creative Inspirationscinspirations: In the Garden
craft a scene challengescraftascene: Anything in the great outdoors.

That's all - I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

Big hugs

Rachel xx
