Animal Houses

Hello Lovelies! I hope you have had a good day - I've had fun - I was at school this morning helping out - they had a cow day for Christian Aid - and I was face painting - cows!!!!! It was fabulous! Really enjoyed it - it was good to feel useful too!!!

Tonight I have my row of animal houses to share with you that I have made for this months Crafty Individuals Challenge:


The pen holder was made from a tando creatives kit - I painted it all, stamped it with the Crafty Individuals Meadow set then stuck the whole thing together.


Next I chose my favourite Alice Palace stamps from Crafty Individuals - stamped them then fussy cut them and put them outside their little houses.


These are on the other side of the houses!!


Have a great evening - will be around later to visit your blogs!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx

p.s here's one of the cows faces  I painted on Lilly - this is after she had been at school all day!
