Sketch time over at Pollycrafts Monday!

(Please scroll down for my Make It Monday DT post!)


The new challenge over at Pollycrafts Monday is a sketch (my post title probably gave that away...) by the lovely and talented Arabella.  Here is my take on it...






This little fella is Spike from the Critters and Cogs collection and the sentiment is from the Critters and Cogs Sentiment clear stamp set (it's only £2.99 with over 15 sentiments in it!).  I matched him up with Cosmo Cricket Togetherness papers (25% off from Quixotic Paperie at the moment!) and my usual My Favorite Things dies and Stampin Up embossing folder.

The prize this week is 10 Pollycraft digis!  You can see all the deets and more gorgeous DT inspiration over at the challenge blog here - well worth a peek if you have a spare 5 minutes!





I am entering my card into the following challenges:
