olympic hedgie

Good evening to you! I hope you are all well and happy? Me and my brood are good and I'm glad to report my shaun's conference has finally finished and an air of calm has descended over the house! Bliss!

Tonight I'd like to share a little Hedgie with you - a penny black hedgie!




He's so cute! I wanted to create something for the penny black challenge but didn't know how I was going to combine two stamps - I thought I'd try and get away with the dandelion heads in a border looking a bit (LOL) like snowflakes! I've added snowflake peeloffs to try and disguise this fact!!!!Anyway - I've followed the theme and the sketch from willow sketchie by using kraft - and also that should make my card qualify for my mums craft shop Kraft it challenge.

So the challenges I'd like to enter are:

CACBcraftyannschallengeblog: Winter Olympics
My Mums Craft shopmymumscraftshopchallenges: Kraft it
simonsaysstampschallenge: animal antics
christmasblogchallenge: winter sports
Willow sketchiewillowsketchiechallenge: Kraft
Penny Blackpennybfriendssaturdaychallenge: use two stamps.

Hope you have a fabulous Wednesday! Thanks for visiting and I'm back tomorrow with a layout!

Big Hugs
