Each child had to craft a stork and hand in a fact sheet, fairy tail or other stories about storks. As usual I wen on-line to browse for inspiration. My first thought was to make a poly clay or felt stork, but then I saw these amazing storks from Something Created Everyday and decided to make something similar.

And as this is Thursday, Digi Doodle Shop challenge is having their latest weekly challenge and this time with projects for boys/men!
I don't know why but all cards I've made with cars have always been vintage style and so this is no exception.
I have chosen this lovely Old Truck 2 image from DDS antiques category.

It is an award chosen by fellow bloggers and can be awarded only to those bloggers who have less than 200 followers. At that moment I thought to myself - hey that would be so cool if someone would chose me as their Liebster Blog.
So I was so amazed when Kenzy from Krafty Hugzz sent me a note to let me know tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782661508724652122.post-39326512748779925232012-02-03T12:51:00.001+02:002012-02-04T08:00:16.161+02:002012-02-04T08:00:16.161+02:00Some Serious Candies!Livahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12500595794759580819noreply@blogger.com7

I replaced hearts in the sketch
