DT post for The Crafty Pad: Use an animal, a thankyou too!

Morning lovelies! Its Sunday and that can only mean one thing! Time for another challenge at the crafty pad!
The theme this week is Use an animal. The details of the challenge are here on the crafty pad blog - there are two prizes this work courtesy of  Creative craft world (£5 voucher) and Letraset (pack of muted tone promarkers).

 I've chosen to use Holly and Harvey mice with Mistletoe on my card - they're available here.




they're such a cute pair - I think they'll crop up again before Christmas!!!!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
totallypapercrafts: Christmas
jinglebellesrock: Creature Feature
cutecardthursday: Got glitter
abcchristmaschallenge: U is for up to you
totallygorjuss: bling it on
thepapershelter Charming
panpasteluk animals
christmascardchallengess: Bows

I'm also excited to tell you I was given two blog awards yesterday from the lovely Lyndsay over at craftymonster81. Thank you so much Lyndsay - I'm thrilled to recieve them both:

 Both of these awards come with some rules:
  1. I am to publicly thank the people who gave them to me.
  2. I am to share some information about myself
  3. I am to nominate some of my favorite blogs
  4. I am to comment on their blogs to let them know I’ve awarded them.


The One Lovely Blog award asks me to share 7 facts about myself while the Sunshine Award has some specific questions for me to answer. The Sunshine Award questions will effectively cover the 7 facts about me.

  • Favorite color: Red
  • Favorite animal: probably pandas, but I love all animals
  • Favorite number: 8
  • Favorite drink: a nice glass of Shiraz
  • Facebook or Twitter: Facebook i can't do the tweet thing too!
  • Good book or good movie: I'm not very good at sitting still for either to be honest - if I didn't have anything else around I would probably choose the book!
  • Giving or getting gifts: Giving - I love doing all the Christmas shopping and thinking about what to get people - I do love getting gifts too though!
  • My passion: crafting! And my family - and I do love a good run!
  • Favorite day: Most days are good!
  • Favorite flower: I love so many - gerberas, daffodils, tulips, sunflowers, poppies, need I go on?

So now I have to nominate 3 people to get these awards which is always tricky because there are so many talented and lovely  bloggers out there, but here are the people I have chosen for this one,

I hope its not too much trouble for you to get these awards - Elaine I know you're not well so I fully understand if you don't feel up to accepting it hun! 

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday!  See you all again soon and thanks for visiting today! Hugs Rachel xx
