Party Preparations

Evening Folks!

Just popping on to share a card I started last Wednesday week and finally finished this afternoon - think that might be a new personal best in the slowest card ever made category !!

Anyway, here's my  Gruffie creation for the Masculine challenge over at House Mouse and Friends.
The stamp is 'Party Preparations' and he is coloured with promarkers. The papers are actually from the Christmas collection - Blissful Blizzard by Fancy Pants. The sentiment and matching die are by Stampin up and the 'Simple Banner' is by Poppy Stamps. 


The balloon is paper pieced and stuck on with foam pads to give it a bit of dimension.


Thanks for looking!

I'd also like to enter the following challenges:
Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Birthday Celebration and hop
I used sketch #190

Crafting for all Seasons - Dies and Punches
Simon Says Stamp - Happy Birthday

Alphabet challenge - D for die cuts
The Cutie Pie challenge - Cute with dies and punches
As you like it - Favourite animal - 
I love nearly all animals but Bears are a particular favourite. The love affair started with my Teddy who was given to me when I was a few days old! I love real life bears because of their power, intelligence, 'big fur' and wonderfully cute faces.
