Bunny present

Hot on the heals of yesterday's post, this fortnight at As You Like It Challenge we want to see your favourite critters.  Bob-tailed bunnies are one of my favourite cute and fluffy critters, but I also like cuddly teddy bears, so this image which features both is perfect for this theme!

Decorating the Tree

I'm late with my post but last fortnight at As You Like It Challenge we wanted to know if you prefer ribbon or twine, and this is an easy choice for me as I have a huge box of ribbon rolls, in various colours, textures and widths. My favourite is a lovely 15mm satin ribbon tied in a double bow, which beautifully frames the festive image that I've watercoloured for today's card.  I love the softness of the ribbon and the beautiful range of colours to accent my card.

Polar Stars

I've been a little AWOL recently as I've been crazy busy and haven't had much time for any crafting which is also making me a little stir-crazy!  Anyway, I do have a card to share with yout day because this fortnight at As You Like It Challenge we want to know if you prefer square or some other shaped cardbases.  While I love a shaped cardbase, a 6" square really is my go-to cardbase.  I find it's not too big to fill the space, and I prefer the square to a rectangle.
