This week our theme for Challenge #74 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner is MUSIC. I used this trio of quirky turtles to create an orchestra, namely Serenading, Serenading Turtle and Turtle Violinist. You can find them at QKR STAMPS here, here and here. Our sponsor this week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner is of course QKR STAMPS.
I have coloured the images and sentiment with Copics. The jewel stones are from Blueberry Bear. I have also tried my hand at a new folding technique with squares and have created a little tutorial for these flowers (see below).
Hope you will play along this week - so come on link your MUSIC creations to Tammy's Scrapin Corner's Challenge No.74. Can't wait to see your creations.

Just quickly sharing another giraffe photo. This one I actually took myself some years ago in Tala Game Reserve, here in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Very naughty, if I must say so myself lol - its not what you think, its an older male showing a younger male the ropes.
Thanks for your treasured visits here. Without your motivation and inspiration, blogging will just not be the same.
