Penmanship

The Make a Moo or 2 challenge has the theme of alphabet. A good opportunity for me to this little used background stamp. It brings back memories of endlessly practising handwriting at school, and keeping the letters within the lines. You'd never believe I did this if you saw my scrawl now!

Lyre Player

The Make a Moo challenge is musical instruments - always a favourite of mine. Here's the lady who adorns the Peters edition sheet music covers.

The Make a Moo or 2 theme is the word 'happy'. This lady just wasn't happy until she had some bling!

Il bacio

Make a Moo or 2 have kiss as their theme this week. A scrap left over from making cards earlier in the week was perfect for this image. This pair look so grown up! I bet they hated posing for the photo!

Imagination is the eye of the soul

I usually find the moo size daunting, but was inspired to participate in this week's theme of quote for the Make a Moo or 2 challenge. The black border is just background, not part of the Moo. The quote is by Joseph Joubert, a French essayist.

1 Dream, 1 Goal, 1 Family

Make a Moo or 2 challenge site is celebrating their 1st birthday - so this is my means of congratulating them. There is a number 1 on each moo as requested. I made them up into a card as it's my son's birthday next week and this will do nicely!

Time will tell

The Make a Moo or Two challenge this week is clocks. This theme appealed to me again, and to it I've added a 2Peas challenge to make a card from a different size to normal. I feel with items this small that I want to use them in a card, otherwise I've no idea what to do with them!

I'm sure experienced Moo-ers will tell me they swap them or something.---

Fluttering off

I don't usually participate in moo challenges, because I'm not too keen on the size, but today I couldn't resist the butterfly theme on Make a Moo or Two. I thought I'd make them up into a card for a friend who's off to university in September.

I shall also submit this to the 2Peas Hoarders challenge of using up 3 items you've had in your stash for a while. The moo background paper was a left over from another project, and the brad and the patterned paper were items in an RAK.
