Two Scrapbook Friends - June Challenge: Warthog

Hi there

I was surfing around and found

this great sketch /craft

over at 

Two Scrapbook Friends

So FUN... a sketch challenge with a crafty challenge

June Sketch and Crafty Challenge

here is my take:

Warthog

I had to do something special with this Christmas card and envelope.

As soon as I saw this challenge, 

I knew -  this was what I needed to do!

How often does a Girl receive a Christmas card from AFRICA?

{ This is my FIRST!! }

( *note I covered our address for Blog world )

I chose to create using the Studio Callico collection - the colouring was bang-on!!

the title: very fitting using Memo thickers (altered)

Our friends, sent us this card

 'Animals of Africa'

Warthog

by Rozanne Tunmer

 - we received it January 16th, 2014

( LUCKY us!  To receive any mail from Africa)

I kept it simple with a few layers, adding some MS white texture effect, machine stitching

and acrylic paint.

I collect stamps but these two will look great in an album.

I am so happy the way this layout turned out!

We miss our friends and think of them often.

Amanda, thank you for sharing this sketch /craft

my hubby is so happy to put the "last Christmas card" away!!! LoL
