True story: in September, Jason took a picture of this little mouse eating an apple on the walkway. He thought it must be a little bit intoxicated, as he didn't scurry away or move at all, so focused was he on his meal. Two minutes later, Hunter roared out of nowhere and swallowed the mouse and apple in one gulp!
Kind of loving how this layout turned out! Everything is from my January Counterfeit Kit, and I was able to incorporate Challenge #1 from the CKC blog: use only three patterned papers, three embellishments (wood veneer branch, layered chipboard stickers, and stick pins from Crafts & Pieces), and a three word title ("the daily NEWS"). I used this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches:
And here's a couple of close-ups of journaling and embellishments:
Well, that's it for me! My thumb is doing a whole lot better, seems to be healing nicely (looks a bit like Frankenstein's monster with the black stitches, though). Won't be long before I'm fussy cutting and colouring like a mad woman again!!! Thanks for looking!
Love how you interpreted the sketch. Lovely colours and well-composed. And what an interesting story. Kind of reminds me of my bird-eating dog Joey.lol
