Party Animals

Hello, Crafty Friends!

This is Laurie from Crafty Sisters Creations and I'm pleased to introduce the challenge for this week--PARTY ANIMALS!!  Most of my design team sisters chose to use the Balloon Animals February Stamp of the Month as their party animals, but don't let that limit your imaginations.  Your party animals could be friends or family celebrating at a special event, an outing at the zoo or even your own pets in a party mood!  Let the party spirit take you where it will and then link up your projects below for everyone to enjoy!

Our first project is from Guest Designer, Kathleen Androlewicz from Life is Like a Bowl of Stamps.  Be sure to visit her blog and give her a big party cheer for this adorable card!



And now for the projects from Team Peacock:

Favorite Paper Pack

Welcome to this week's Heart2Heart Challenge!  This week's theme is all about your favorite Close To My Heart Paper Pack.  Your favorite paper pack doesn't have to be the traditional 12X12 paper, it can also be the Picture My Life cards and overlays.  Close To My Heart releases several paper packs every quarter in addition to the annual inspiration paper packs and it's so hard to just pick one so feel free to share one or many. You will have all month long to participate in any (or all) of this month's challenges!

Our guest designer for the month of February is Kathleen Androlewicz, let's check out Kathleen's artwork for this weeks challenge.  By the way, don't forget to visit her blog and check out some of the other cool stuff Kathleen shares with us.



Here's what our design team members created for this week's challenge.













Thanks for stopping by and checking out our creations, we hope that you find these projects inspiring and join this weeks Heart2Heart Challenge by sharing your own work.
