Wild for You - Daring Cardmakers

On Daring Cardmakers (my favourite challenge blog) this week, the dare is Emerald Green. So I ferret about in my papers and find these jungle papers by Reminisce. The leaves were a 12x12 scrapbook page with the leaves around the outside of the square, I just chopped them off the edges to make a border. The giraffe is an old, favourite stamp of mine, by Rubber Cottage. It still didn't look right, so I started wrapping string around it, I quite like the way it looks a bit like a funky tree trunk. The sentiment is a dollar stamp, and the brads are card candy from Craftwork Cards

I had another jungle stamp that I had borrowed, this time by Judikins, and made a second card with this whilst the supplies were out

We had a great time down on Anna Maria Island at the weekend, the sun shone, the sea was a glorious clear turquoise blue and warm as a bath, the only flaw as far as I was concerned was - sand. A bit of a problem for me, the beach, let's face it, you can't really avoid sand there can you? I seem to be a bit of a sand magnet, and two days later, after numerous showers, the stuff is still falling off me. I could put my grandchildren to play in my shower stall and tell them it's a sand pit!

Lastly, I had a lovely surprise on Friday, a mysterious parcel arrived, full of the most gorgeous scrapping goodies, including Prima flowers, Heidi Swapp stamps, ghost letters and shapes. It was from Eileen, (who bloggers will know as eiyiyi) with a lovely note saying she enjoyed my blog. Isn't that the sweetest thing to do? Thank you so much Eileen, now if you can do me a favour all of you and click on the link to pop over to Eileen's blog Dropped Stitches, to see her lovely stuff, that would be great.

See you tomorrow
