MM #112 and The Challenge #8


 Happy "Merry Monday!"

This week, our challenge hostess is Karren and here's her theme for this week:


I have been wanting to play along with Lesley Croghan's new sketch this week over at Always Playing with Paper - check it out:


My cute hippo is from 'Tis the Season from There She Goes Stamps (*sniff* who have closed their doors)...isn't he cute!?! Love that Santa hat (and suit!)


I added some stitched die stars, sequins and faux stitched with my white pen around my sentiment and all done! I had so much fun creating this cutie....please be sure to hop on over to see what the rest of the Merry Makers have for you - they blew it out of the park this week! So many adorable creations! Cheers!

  14. What an adorable card. I love the little hippo and the cheerful red and white colors. Really cute. Off topic, I once received a birthday card that had a hippo, a bird, and 2 lambs on the front. Inside it said "hippo birdie two ewes, hippo birdie two ewes...etc". This cute hippo could be the start... just a suggestion... I've been looking for a hippo ever since :-)
