"A Girl Can Dream"

Happy creating!

Mystery Monday - 25th May

I have downloaded a few Freebie cluster frames this week from Raspberry Road Designs (and then promptly ended up buying a couple of their kits too....lol - can't take me anywhere). Also included is a Cluster made by Cora of Pimp'd Designs which she released today as a freebie to promote her latest kit - the last in her Saga collection.

These are so handy to make a quick tag,  half the work is already done for you, and they look so lovely when finished.  We look forward seeing your creations.

Mystery Monday - 18th May

Yesterday all over Australia we had the Million Paws Walk which was run by the RSPCA and where all the proceeds go towards the opertating costs of the RSPCA.  Even though a recognised charity (the world over even) the government only funds 2% of their costs, which is nowhere near the kind of funds they need to run organisation and their shelters.  They do a wonderful job and deserve much more help and backing.  So this wonderful event I participated in yesterday and had a great time - most of all our pooch had the bestest time ever...lol - reflects both our Theme and our Challenge for the week. (I know we've had this theme before but it is fitting for this week's challenge - and close to both mine and Tooty's hearts)

Theme:

For the Love of Animals

Challenge:

Your challenge this week will be to make a tag highlighting one of the campaigns or events run by your local animal shelter - or an animal welfare agency like the WSPA, RSPCA or ASPCA that may be your country's equivalent. Some of the campaigns or events are:

Million Paws Walk (for pooches)

Million Purrs (for puddies)

Happy Tails Day

Stop Animal Cruelty

Walk the Dog

Project Guardian Angel

Heat Stress (Dogs Die in Hot Cars)

Sow Stalls Campaign (Help the RSPCA get Pigs out of Cages)

Pet Desexing (Our Biggest Problem is Multiplying)

When you do...the challenge is also to make a "Welcome" or "Welcome to the Group" and "A Note" tag from it to share with the group.

We look forward to your creations!

Whatever Wednesday - 6th May

With Mother's Day this weekend what better way to celebrate our mothers/mum than with a creation of love and expression by us.

Here is a ZIP link of some Floral Doodles for you to use in any way you wish to create a tag that celebrates mothers, motherhood or your own mother.  Why not incorporate it with using a Mask created by you from Monday's activity??  The possibilities are endless!

Have fun, everyone!  We look forward to seeing what you create!

Mystery Monday - 4th May

OK we all use  masks and go looking around for  the ''perfect one'' for what we want, when it is really a simple job to make our own, but we never seem to do that. 

So this week, our challenge is for you to make your own mask and use

it to create a tag.

Challenge:

Make Your Own Mask

Theme:

Mother's Day

Be creative and have fun everyone!!

Cheers
