SDC26: Animal, Insect or Birds (Group 3)

This week Kaz is our hostess with the mostess and this is what her challenge to us was:

This challenge ties in brilliantly with my youngest niece's birthday which is this Friday. She will be 12 and, as well as being my crafting buddy, (or should that read stealer of my stash?) she is a huge animal lover. So I would like you to make something using an animal stamp.

I'm going to be very generous and say that the animal can include birds, bees, butterflies or other insects too.

I shall look forward to seeing your creations over the next 2 weeks. Today is also an any stamps challenge, so feel free to join us with any animal, birds, bees, butterflies or other insects.

Welcome our March Guest Designer

We want to thank Gerrie Johnnic for spending February with us, we enjoyed having her participate in the challenges and see her other creations with the Stampotique stamps.

We would like to introducing our March Guest Designer, Gini Owen.  For the followers we had a contest for this guest spot and Gini was our lucky winner.  We will be doing this again this year, so keep your eyes open and take a minute to read more about Gini and see the out of this world creation she has made for her debut.

 

I'm a mum, wife, work part time and love to make things out of Shiny, paper, paint and glue and more recently stamps and ink.  I started paper crafting a couple of years ago and started blogging so I could participate in craft challenges and meet like minded souls.
I would describe my style as being story based and humorous.

My favourite things to make are 3 dimensional paper projects and altered art and recently I have being trying to get to grips with flat card layouts.

I love the diverse style of quality stamps on offer at Stampotique and all the marvelous inspiration and ideas that come from their very talented design team.

I'm so pleased to be given the opportunity to share some projects with you.
You can find me at A little bit of Shiny blog (giniowen.blogspot.com) hope you find time to drop by and look forward to meeting you.
