2 Crafty Critter Crazies - Mid-April Post

Ine and her dogs:
Last September (2017) our lovely dog Amigo died.  He was almost 14 years old and a very good and kind dog. We miss him every day.
This is one of the last photos with my friend J.
As of October 2017, we have a new little puppy in our home and hearts. Her name is Sky.
 Sky is 5 months old now and is a really naughty girl sometimes.

We hope she will be with us for a very long time. We enjoy having her around.

Bye, Ine (and a paw from Sky)

CarolG  #73 KT FitKitty

I liked the detailed spontaneous and arty look of all the materials, and that fabulous kitty!

NanaConnie - #145 Sue Kment

Aside from loving the purple, I adore the hedgie in the image
and the simple design which lets the image do all the talking.  :-D

Nancy's delightful bunny is surrounded by hand-made flowers, beautiful bows, sweet layers and shapes, and colored oh-so-delicately! You made my heart happy, Nancy!


I love the little mice and the coloring with matching papers.



Loved everything about this card!
Lovely background die, and stitched, blue clouds
Darling elephants, beautifully colored, cut, and popped for dimension and movement.

Cheryl - #59 Amelia B
 
I love the colour tones, the simple, playful bunnies, and the femininity and dimension on this card. 


Teresa - #38 Carol Gill

This whimsical design is like something straight out of Lewis Caroll’s Alice in Wonderland.


Lori - #48 Julie T

I love this card for two reasons, first is because it reminds me of my daughter and her parakeet Lucky.   She used to take him out in the yard and talk to him. The other reason is I love the added flowers and ladybugs; I adore ladybugs so this card spoke to my heart and soul!! Love it!


Favorites Ladies, please take this badge and add it to your blog.  

    
Now, the April Challenge!

 We're sponsored this month by Linda Simpson Designs and here's a little bit about them.

My name is Linda Simpson and I am based in the UK. I have been crafting for over 20 years and been on the design team of many UK and US companies in the past.
In 2017 I decided to design my own bespoke designer papers and ephemera and was overwhelmed with the response at these papers.  They have proved really popular.  I then decided to branch out into designing my own stencils. 
When I was approached by Nana Connie, who is a very good friend, to sponsor this challenge blog I, of course, had to say yes!
I wish you all good luck in the challenge and am delighted with the projects that the design team have created using my papers and ephemera.

Here is the link to the website.  http://www.lindasimpsondesigns.com

Linda also did a project as a Guest Designer 
using "So Cute Ephemera"
and we're excited to share it with you.




     Here's a little more inspiration from our team to encourage you.
