LILI OF THE VALLEY CHALLENGE 57

Hi Everyone

I am entering a new challenge today (Lili of the Valley Challenge 57).

It isn't one I have joined in with before .. .. but I am so loving the LOTV stamps (and using them so much) that I decided it was time to join in their challenge.

The theme is to work to a sketch. There was also the option of using "Its a Girlie Thing" - thank goodness that part was optional .. because I was desperate to use this little chappie!!

Here is my creation
This used:

Image: LOTV "S102" Boys - Gone Fishing
Sentiment: Daisy and Dandelion "Dandelion goes Fishing"
Backing Papers: DCWV "All About Boys" Stack
Go Kreate Concentrics: "Scalloped Squares"
Nestabilities: "Classic Squares Large"
Martha Stewart Punch: "Traditional Scallop"
Glossy Accents
Diamond Stickles
Brads and charms from the stash box
and here is the sketch

Thanks for calling by and also thanks for all the hammock stories yesterday .. .. I really enjoyed them. It would seem that there is simply no way to get into a hammock in a lady-like manner.

Perhaps it is a case of having a strong man on hand to scoop us up in his arms, lift us up and gently place us inside .. .. .. well we can dream!!! LOL!!!

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Love Jules xx

    What a fab image Jules. What a cute little chap and I love his cap.

    Er, my big strong man (ahem) did give me a few words of advice about getting into the hammock and held it steady for me. Don't think he would have managed to lift me if he'd tried, Lol!

    Hugs

    Hello Mummy Gibbs,
    I can't believe it has taken you this long to join in the challenge at LOTV :)
    Hope all is well your end, busy busy here, but I think next week will see the return of the crafty table as now I'm on the bar I have a few later starts and so can have crafty mornings which I am looking forward to (don't tell Paul LOL).
