When I read about Send a Smile 4 Kids, I just knew I had to participate. The week's challenge is to use animals-- an actual challenge for me, as they are not my forte. :)

Check this embossed blue guy out:

The stamp is from Paper Source and the center of the floss bow is a brad from Recollections.

I'm going to be sending it to Send A Smile and they'll give it to a hospitalized kid who could use the cheering up! :) I encourage you do to the same!

Challenges I'm entering:
*Send A Smile For Kids Challenge - animals
*Card Makin' Mamas - for a child
*Penny Black Saturday Challenges - pesky critters (it counts, right? :)
*Just Some Lines - spotty dotty
*Crazy For Challenges - floss
*Aly's Sunday Sketch - all about kids
*Design Dollies - sketch:
