Catered Crop–Animal House Recipe Swap

Linda has a new, fun recipe swap at the Catered Crop.  This time around the theme is “Animal House”,  Just add wild life, pets, or any animal (dogs, cats, bears . . . ) anywhere in your paper project.

I made a birthday card for my daughter. (Can I say I can’t believe she is 12!!  Where has the time gone?)  I thought these cute bears from Lili of the Valley were perfect both for her birthday and for the “Animal House” challenge.

Love the combo of DP and colors you chose for this design Cheryl! Paper piecing the one background DP onto the blanket is very creative! Nicely done indeed! Thanks for sharing your project in the “Any Sentiment” Challenge.
