Please scroll down for my Make It Monday DT post (it's a fun one!)
Well, true to form, we really are chilling out here in the UK with loads of snowfall over the weekend! A new challenge has opened over at Pollycrafts Monday and the lovely and uber talented Anita is challenging us to...
Chill Out!!
For my make, I just had to use chilled out Retro Chester!
He is so funky - I am in love with Chester!! I used the sketch over at Raise The Bar and papers from Cosmo Cricket's Social Club (25% off in Quixotic Paperie at the moment here!). I'm going to give this to one of my nephews - he is so funky too!
Check out the rest of the DT's chilled creations here!
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
- Simon Says Stamp - animal antics
- Catch The Bug - anything goes
- My Mum's Craft Shop - fab and funky!!
- Fussy and Fancy - polka dots
- Allsorts - free and easy
