HLSC #40 - 'T' Time

We have a new challenge today over at Happileigh Scrappin' Challenges which has been set my Happi Sister Starla and it is ‘T’ Time. Use images of T or something that starts with a T such as a Turtle, teddy Bear, Texture etc.


Unfortunately this will be our final Challenge as Leigh has had some life changes that mean she hasn't got time to draw the designs any more. I am truly going to miss designing for her as the images are perfect for my bright and fun style of crafting and my life has been enriched by being in a group of lovely ladies. The Happi Sisters are all such a talented bunch of crafters you will no doubt see us popping up all over the crafty blogosphere.

The Happi Sisters as always had the pick of the many images in the Happileigh Scrappin' store and I do hope you will take a look at the fabulous creations they have all made on the blog as there are some real beauties there.

For my card I have used Sea Turtle which is in the Critters section of the store.

As always you get the black and white and the coloured versions, all for only $3

It has been pointed out by my hubby this week that I don’t tend to make many card for men so in attempt to make more of an effort I have used this cute little turtle on a man’s card. It’s still got some bling on it though J

I have coloured the image using Promarkers and drew little swirls on it but I think I may have made him look a bit too much like a tortoise rather than a sea turtle. I did a Google search and my little offering is not quite right but hey, I can use artistic license can’t I? I did find the cutest picture of a Tiny Sea Turtle though courtesy of Simon King’s photostream on Flikr J

Aww, isn’t it sooo cute and tiny?

I used Kraft cardstock for the base and the mulitcoloured circle paper is a snippet from a freebie magazine paper. The sentiment is one I made myself. He is such a chilled out dude of a turtle. Finally I added some bubbles in the form of assorted sizes and colours of blue and clear gems.

There are loads of fabulous images in the Happileigh Scrappin' Store and Leigh has also got some gorgeous new designs available. With every purchase you this gorgeous image and sentiment free........

Also for every 3 images you purchase you can choose an extra one absolutely free. 

There are loads of fab images just itching to be played with so you will find it easy to spend your pennies I promise you :)

Remember, for our challenges you don't need to use a Happileigh Scrappin' image but if you do you it will be entered into a separate draw. With freebies available here it is easy to use one of Leigh's fabulous digis.

We would love to see lots of entries in this challenge. Leigh gives away her lovely digis to the top 3 so it is well worth entering and myself and the DT love to see your creations, so come on over to
