Hedgehog Birthday

It’s been a crazy week but I finally squeezed in a card. I used a Penny Black hedgehog stamp from the Critter Party set (thanks Jenny!). It must be a lucky week as well because on top of my top three I also won the Weekly Wednesday candy from Stamp & Create and last months Crafty Calender Challenge. What a fantastic way to brighten ones day!

Bountiful Hedgehog

I haven’t purchased a Penny Black image in awhile. When I came across this little hedgehog I couldn’t resist. The poppies remind me of my childhood. My grandma had poppies in her yard that we’d play with and admire. I used the hedgehog for my Practical Scrappers DT card this week. My last Practical Scrappers DT card if I’m not mistaken. The challenge is to use decorative scissors or border punches. I used a new border punch I received for free from filling up a punch card. Can’t complain with that.

Also, Practical Scrappers is having a design team call. Squigglefly will be announcing there new design team soon and Squigglefly.com is now on Paper Craft Planet! Did you also know that for every 15$ you spend you get a free digi? They’ve just added a new feature where you can view you’re previous purchases and re-download them if you need to as well. Comes in pretty handy when you get a virus and your computer crashes. I’m speaking from experience here…

Project #19

Yes, I realize my hedgehogs are bustin’ their moves in the wrong order. I don’t know if it really matters (does it Liza?). They are doing some extra fancy freestyle.

The image (they are all from the same stamp) is from Penny Black called Ecarte, Splits, Pirouette. The polka dot patterned paper is by Pebbles and the CS is bazzill. The striped paper is from a Imaginisce sparkle paper pad called For Peep’s Sake.

One of these days I’ll make a card before midnight so I have some light to photograph in. I hope…

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge- color combo

Mojo Monday- sketch

Saturday Challenge- stitching

Crafty Creations Challenge- cut it out and pop it up
