WEIRD ...
{GDT Project Quirky Crafts: Challenge 21}

I did my first official 5km trail run this morning in the beautiful surroundings of the Cradle of Human Kind near Krugersdrop in South Africa.  It was a tough but seriously scenic route, even passing a beautiful waterfall.  The muscles are a bit tender from all the rock climbing and jumping right now, but the feel good hormones are flowing again.

What a surprise when Cazzy from Quirky Crafts contacted me to enquire whether I would be prepared to Guest Design for them. I was honoured and gladly accepted the challenge.  The theme for Challenge #21, I am Guest Designing for, is QUIRKY MAGICAL CREATURES (must have stars/silver/glitter or sparkle).  Cazzy emailed me this fabulous Stitchy Bear digi stamp to create with.   You can find this digi here.

I created centre step card once again and coloured the image with H2O's and dry chalks,.  The designer papers are from BasicGrey and FabScraps. I created some fun pinwheels again with scalloped square punches for embellishments.

So hop on over to Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog and link your Magical Creature creation to Challenge #21.
