The Most Adorable Note Holder at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Time sure is flying by this year! I can't believe we're already at the end of April. Thankfully our snow seems to have finally gone, so I'm hoping we don't get any more (although, several places had a lot of snow last week).

Don't forget that our challenges at The Paper Shelter are now ANYTHING GOES with an optional theme. This week the theme is CUTIES, so I'm sure you won't find that especially difficult!

I have used The Most Adorable Panda for a sticky note holder, as I've had teacher gifts on my mind lately.



I haven't made an upright holder before, but I saw this one on the Cricut app and gave it some tweaks to suit my theme.

My printer really hates the cardstock that I use for markers, and won't print on it unless I add a strip of paper to the end. It's annoying as eff and I didn't want to mess around with that for a print and cut, so I just used regular card and coloured with pencils instead.

Snake Charmed at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's gone back to winter here, as we had lots of snow over the weekend. I'm so done with it, it's not funny.

Which brings me to this week's optional theme at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog - SOMETHING FUNNY. Don't forget, you can now just enter with Anything Goes if you're not feeling the theme.

I have used 'Snake Charmer' for a comic-book-style card.



Clearly this is showing the dangers of not being aware of your surroundings. Poor snake doesn't know what's coming for him 🤣😂
