Spike

The Smitten Kit from Like For Ever included a pack of die cuts with a cute little hedgehog.  I looked at him for ages and then realised I could scrap the story of Spike - Alex's cuddly, furry friend.

I picked a sketch from Page Maps...


Added a tiny gold word sticker and some enamel dots from my stash and came up with this...



The journalling has been added to a tag which is in a pocket on the back of the page.  It tells the story of how Spike was a hand me down toy from Alex's cousin but is now a very well travelled hedgehog, having been on nearly every holiday with her since she got him in about 2004 (she drew the line at India - to be honest she couldn't fit anything else in the rucksack!)

  1. Great page. I like the way you have interpreted the sketch. I also think the colours in the patterned papers are perfect and the photos of Spike are delightful.

  4. What super photos! And they really shine the way you have displayed them - you've matched the colours perfectly.
