Happy Hedgehogs SSS#004

 



Hello! I'm back after taking some time off to focus on training my puppy, Gemma. She is doing really well as long as it's only myself and hubby at home AND as long as we are happy to ignore her random barking at anyone who walks/bikes by or down the side street (we are one house in from the corner and the houses are on 1 acre blocks)! We also need to ignore her wish to play which she demonstrates by pawing us, chewing us or moaning, groaning or barking, once we hop into bed! So, as you can see, training is working really well!!! 😂😂😂

Today I am taking part in a sketch challenge with Simply Sketchin' Saturday.

The sketch is below.


Please let me know what you think of my interpretation!

Gift Boxes

 





Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. 





The theme this month is:    Use Your Stash





I rarely make boxes, but was watching Sara Douglass' live on Facebook and as Sara was away, Melody Hyde, Concept Art Manager at Stampin' Up!® demonstrated some masking techniques using embossing paste, embossing powder, velvet DSP, foil and Be Dazzling specialty paper. She inspired me to try some myself! She also included templates for the boxes which was awesome!
