High Hopes Leo the Lion and BLOG CANDY
Okay, this lion is seriously cute and fun to colour. I really experimented with my copics to play around with his colouring. I also played with some new distress stickles. They are antiquey coloured and the one bottle looked the colour of my old fishtank when I would finally get around to cleaning it. Quick funny story. When I was traveling one time years ago by BIL came by to feed my cat and my fish. My fish tank was disgustingly dirty, bad me. When I got home and looked in my tank through the murkiness I saw my beta fish and then this albino coloured small fish floating around. I screamed my fool head off thinking something was born from the slime. Turns out my BIL put it in there to mess with my head. I kept it cleaner after that- just in case. I am also putting this card on the High Hopes Blog as their challenge this week is to have torn paper on your card somewhere and this one fits the bill! One of my many many nephews is turning 2 in February so I will give him this card- he loves animals.
Okay- more blog candy! Sheila at Scrappingreatdeals.com has again generously donated a $10 gift certificate that can be used either online or in their store. I have also included a cute little snowman stamp. Please leave a comment on this post to enter. I will draw the lucky name on Monday Jan 12th- DH's birthday. Feel free to spread the word to all your friends to come here and enter to win.
You may remember me talking about my fave photographer a few times. I have her website link on my blog. That's right- my baby sister. I am so freakin excited to share that she has an article written about her in her local paper. Please click here to read about her booming success: Vanessa's article If you are in the London or Barrie area she can be booked as she frequently comes down here to visit her big sis and her London friends. Her pictures are stunning!
Well, I hope you all have a great day and an even better weekend!
This card is awesome. Love the image and the colors are fabulous. Thanks for a chance.

Great card! I need some animal stamps like this one, they're perfect for little ones :)
I laughed so hard at your fish story "I screamed my fool head off thinking something was born from the slime" killed me!
