This time with a twist. I had so many positive comments about the little hedgehog card I made with Kate's new doodles that I thought I would do a mini tutorial on how to make it - and then challenge you to make something similar!!!!!! How to make a spikey hedgehog cardYou will need scissors, craft knife, glue, black pen, sheet of card and 3 printed images of Kate's hedgehog (I resized them to fit onto a 14.5 cms photoshop document so that I know my card will fit into it's envelope)Carefully cut out 1 hedgehogUse a glue stick to stick the cutout hedgehog onto your folded sheet of card.

Hello there!Pollywog Crissy here from northeast Florida - recently weathering Tropical Storm Fay and all her wind and rain. In lieu of the enduring the weather, having to entertain ourselves indoors and growing very sick of rain and thunderstorms, I challenged myself (and my husband) to look on the bright side.
