Hedgehogs

 As I am designing things for a local hedgehog rescue I had to join in the Outlawz Progressive challenge using an image called Hedgie from Anne's Art.

Sadly I didn't have a lot of time, so produced this very quick card by colouring the image with coloured pencils and mounting on camouflage Hunkydory card and then on a cream card, adding some die cut leaves and wording written on my Cricut Joy.

This week I have been making all things hedgehog ready for a local May day fair where Prickly Edge Hedgehog Rescue is having a stall. keeping fingers crossed for good weather and good attendance at the popular event.

As next week is King Charles' coronation I have enjoyed making royal hedgehogs along with plain hedgehogs. The lollipop and chocolate holders are made with Cricut Joy.

Queen of Hearts

The Outlawz Sunday Song and Rhyme challenge for 2nd April to 15th April is based on the rhyme;

We also had to use an image from https://www.mirtillamentecraftshop.it/, I think there were 3 to choose from. I chose one called the Queen of Hearts, but wasn't sure how to link it to the rhyme. I decided to just to use the word heart for the inspiration and created an Alice in Wonderland kind of theme. I coloured the image black and read and made some little playing cards on my Cricut Joy and wording Birthday Queen


I have made Alice in Wonderland themed cards before they are good fun.

Pattern from Stitching Cards

Pattern from Stitching Cards, was an anniversary card, now framed

For my daughters first school World Book day, I sent her as a Queen of Hearts playing card and we made jam tarts. She is just about to leave high school so I don't get to do things like that now, mind you not sure I could!


We have been watching The Great British menu on Tv and they were making cartoon and illustration themed meals, I would have had great fun with that. We missed earlier episodes so didn't see the Alice in Wonderland themed dessert from the heats or my favourite Pooh Bear themed starter, will have to find them on catch up.
