Addicted to CAS and JUGS Challenges

We are being sponsored by:
 

This challenge was really easy for me.  When I see "animal" I always go to this image.  It is so awesome in just black & white - even the DH said "that is cool"

Yeah, I agree.  This is so cool. :)  Image is from an OOB - bummer huh?

 Come on over to Addicted to CAS and show us the "animal" you like.


On to Just Us Girls #294 - a photo inspiration.

The rug inspired me to use PTI's A Little Argyle for my background, and then I just added some flowers from Altenew's Hennah Elements. 

How does the photo inspire you?  Come on over to Just Us Girls #294, join in the fun, and show us.  Can't wait to see what you create~


Thanks for stopping by~

I am guessing every one is going to love the lion, and maybe I should forget making a card and move on to another challenge. Black and white rules.
