Its been another manic week getting Hannah set for her trip overseas next week so the craftroom has been a bit neglected until this morning when I made a card for the Paper Piecing challenge at Less is More this week!
I just love paper piecing so I couldn't miss the chance to play along , it gives just the right amount of impact on a coloured card base :0)
.... see what I mean?
It had to be simple and quick so I pulled out my newest Lawn Fawn set called 'Critters Down Under' because I knew this snappy little guy would work well for the colours at Annabelle's Stamps challenge too....... they have to be one of my fave colour combos...just yummy :0)
Not sure of colours yet but as his favourite guy on TV is Mr Tumble, yep him on the right, and his house is decorated pretty much like his bag , I think we will have to come to a compromise!!..Lol
..... I'm back again over the next few days with new challenge posts for CASual Fridays and St Luke's and a special post on Sunday sharing something brand new... it's an exciting launch, you simply must come back and see :0)
Must get on, I have a mammoth pile of ironing to conquer!!! in this heat...... not fun :0(
Thanks for stopping by

this is a cutest crocodile. love the little pieced leaf to match the crocodile. Have fun decorating James's room.
ReplyDeleteFab card Jenny that croc has a very smug expression, has he just swallowed someone?! Good luck with the decorating we're in the middle of that as well:) Ironing, what's that?
ReplyDeleteVal x
So sweet!!!! I love the punch of green on that awesome blue CS. I feel for you re: ironing...one good thing about being single is I have no one to iron for...everything I own is wrinkled! :S
ReplyDeleteso cute! I love shading you did on the patterned paper - and the 1 leaf cluster you paper-pieced in the row... great card!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Simply brilliant Jenny. Love your colours.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun painting the bedroom in those bright colours. At least you wouldn`t have to struggle with colour co ordinating your accessories lol.

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny - what an exciting post! Can't wait to see what you have in store and the redecoration project sounds fab - don't forget to take before and after pics. Love your cute croc card - that is the perfect paper to piece him in! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteHope you will be sharing lots of photos of James new room an of course supplying us all with sunglasses first. Gorgeous card love then smiley crocodile and the great sentiment , fabulous paper piecing too.
ReplyDeleteMarie
Fab card, Jenny. Super paper piecing x
ReplyDeleteDidn't someone once say "never smile at a crocodile?" How would you NOT smile at this cutie!
ReplyDeleteKathyk
Oh, I love how his tail is poking off the edge! It's exciting that Hannah's going away, but of course stressful too - brave mama :)
ReplyDeleteYay for a redo on James' room - my hubby is constantly pushing for the boys to be more 'mature' but I think hey, they like what they like. Let them. (Their room is painted blue, with the accent wall done in vertical rainbow stripes - 6 big stripes). And Mr. Tumble just rocks. Maybe a starry ceiling? You might end up needing sunglasses in there!
Brilliant card Jen
ReplyDeleteLOVE the green croc on the blue card
Can't wait to see the pics of your sons bedroom
What fun!
Wishing Hannah a super trip
Thanks so much

ReplyDeleteAwesome paper piecing on this sweetie-pie crocodile (love the shading too!)
