Hug an Aussie!


Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. As challenge hostess for April, I continue to issue the challenges.

Apparently the 26th April is Hug an Australian Day who knew and I am Australian LOL.  If you don't know any Aussies close by you can hug me, we might need to rely on virtual hugs haha! {{{{hugs}}}}. For our challenge this week use a cute critter that you think would be huggable … Bonus points if you use an animal native to Australia.



For my card this week I grabbed my Magnolia Tilda with Koala stamp which is perfect for this challenge ... a cute animal and Tilda is hugging the koala, which of course is an Aussie!!!!


As you can see I have created a Pivot Card using the Katie Label Pivot Card die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

For the sentiments I used a couple of dies I purchased at a recent Craft Show.


Here is the back of my card, I always love how the back of these types of cards also have some point of interest to them.

I always like your pivot cards and this one is no exception. Tilda and her koala are sweet!

Great word dies to carry through the huggable theme! I had at least four toy koalas when I was small (more than I had traditional teddies), so I've loved seeing all the ones who came out for a hug today. Thanks for the great challenge.
