Crafty Creations Fairytales and fables......

Here's what Deena has to say about the challenge this week at Crafty Creations.....

So, I thought it might be fun to indulge in a little fantasy... a suspension of reality of sorts, by playing our FABLES AND FAIRY TALES challenge! By the way, the best thing about the cold weather is having a good excuse to stay in and CRAFT!! Do you have a favorite fairy tale or fable that comes to mind from your childhood? Or from reading to your own children? Indulge yourselves in some fantasy play and create a whimsical card that warms your heart!

Coloured with Sakura.

Added sticky gems

Basic Grey DP

Flower and frog Doodlebug brads

Martha Stewart punch for top band.

Our sponsor this week and creator of this fab frog is

Meljen's Designs.

I have created a small easel card - only 10cms x 10 cm's

it's very tichy but cute......

Pop over to Crafty Creations to see all the fab projects
