FEBRUARY Mid-month Inspiration

So sorry for the delay!! Winter has finally made its way down South. I have been without internet and electricity for a couple of days and... NOT fun. I am at a hotspot now so how about a little mid-month inspiration? 

The theme this month is "Symbols of February" which means:

• Purple (Feb Birthstone is Amethyst)
• Violets (Feb's flower)
• Fishes/Water (The Zodiacs are Aquarius until the 18th and Pisces from the 19th on.)

We cannot wait to see how you interperet this!

You can use any company's image for this challenge but if you have a Hambo image, why not use it?

The two winners of the challenge will receive a free digi of their choice from the Hambo digi store. You can enter this challenge once with a non-Hambo image or as many times as you would like if you are using Hambo images...

Now for a little Bacon Bit inspiration to get you started...



Jeannie - Violets (awesome paper) - using Bailey Flower

Two by Two... Hoorah Hoorah!!

For this weeks interactive card challenge,  I have made an interactive side stepper card.

I started off with the BOAT digital image. It has has an "Action Wobble" thingy on the back which makes it not only wobble but rock from side to side. I knew I wanted to put something else in the boat with him, so I stacked up all the possibilities, printed them off, and set about cutting them out......and in Judy's words "Geez"!! Yep... I went way "overboard" here.  

I do love cutting out and I am a bit of a perfectionist in that department, I think it stems from when I was a little girl and in the magazines there would be a girl and you had to cut her out and cut out her clothes with tabs on, can anyone remember what I am going on about???  Paper dolls!

So.... yes I am proud of this card, not just for the cutting out but for the fact that I used EIGHT separate Hambo images, fifteen in total....Pheww!!   I actually made this card for my friend's little boy who had his second birthday, but yes....(you were right, Lyn)... I just couldn't part with it to be thrown in the trash the next day!! So he got another one....ohhh I am such a meanie!!  I had so much fun making this card. We have a  great challenge and I hope you can join in. I would love to see your creations.  ~~Jane :)

The digi images I used are BOAT,  KANGAROO,  BIRD BALLOON,  BIRD EGG -- the two different fish are from the SNORKEL BOY set, and the ELEPHANT and BIG GIRAFFE are rubber stamps.
