Hipporay

I'm so excited to tell you I won the Catch the Bug challenge for this card AND I won Meljens challenge for this one. Entering is easy, really fun and of course challenging, take some time and have some fun. I made this card for a good friend who's on weight watchers with me. She has lost 20 lbs in 1 month, awesome!The inside says "As another pound (or twenty) melts away!" This adorable image is from Doodle Pantry (which was perfect for this card) and they are sponsoring Digital Tuesday challenges which is to use gingham. Well it was quite a challenge since I don't have any gingham paper or ribbon so I used the digital paper that comes with the hippo set and opened it into paint.net and then added the hippo over it so it looks like wallpaper. Very cool. I've also entered this into:
