A Critter Milk Carton.....

Hope everyone is doing well and are recovering from the weekend.... and it is Monday again and the last day of the month too..... Today's challenge over at StampFairy is...

 Anything But A Card

I couldn't decide what to make but I wanted to use this cute critter so I made a Milk Carton with a Critter tag.... maybe I could fill it with some chocolates and give it to hubby as he is such a big kiddy!

 Maybe I could fill it with mini eggs and it can be his Easter Choccys

The spotted paper is also from Stamp Fairy

I love this little critter as a tag....

Hope you can join us in this weeks challenge,

SPRING

I have used Taski this week and 3d layered her..... and have used blue and lemon as my spring theme colours.... not sure what card it is going to be, going to keep it in my box but guess it will be a birthday card for someone or a just because card.......
