Colourful Ostrich

 Morning(can you believe it's April already???) and I have two DT posts today-the first one is for the "All Creatures Great and Small" challenge at Pearly Sparkles.

I found a smooched background which I cut down and rather went overboard using a slection of stamps,some thread and a recycled Ostrich from a  received card which I thought too good to waste.

It's a Boy

 Morning and DIL asked for a baby pop-up box and card as her boss has just had a little boy---now I really struggled with the box as didn't keep any baby dies and stuff when decluttered !After a rummage I found one sheet of suitable-ish P.paper,some plastic nappy pins,a baby boy tag and image/metal baby feet charm/ bear button/some co-ordinating ribbon and dewdrops in a tiny set of plastic drawers with all oddment stuff in---Banner die from Memory Box, the image was from Bugaboo Stamps -not really happy with result but DIL is so hope her boss loves it too.
