Good morning Bloggers,

Hope you have had a fantastic week. Not too bad here. As usual it is HOT and SUNNY!! Being a summer girl at heart, I love the sun!!!

This week at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges our theme is all about the JUNGLE. So, create any type of project with a JUNGLE theme - either using jungle foliage or animals, etc. Let your imagination take you on a SAFARI!!!

I was a bit bummed by this one at first since I am using my tags to create an annual album about me and my family. None of us has been to the jungle and I have already created a tag for the zoo, so what was I going to come up with for this week's tag. As I pondered it HIT me!!! ... Do a tag about Don's pandas. So that is just what I did.

When Don and I were making arrangements with the florist for our wedding he saw this HUGE cute panda on display. Several months later, after we were married, I called the florist and ordered the panda with a huge basket of plants. Don loved it and that panda has been displayed in our bedroom every since. I have added many pandas on to his collection. So, today I honor the pandas with a JUNGLE inspired tag.

Recipe:

Tag: ELEGANT EDGES, pg 47, Heart2-s cut @ 4.5" using Oblong and Shadow

Panda: CREATE A CRITTER, pg 58, Panda cut @ 3" with all layers

Bamboo: CREATE A CRITTER, pg 58, Panda cut @ 2", 3" and 4" using Accessory feature

Card Stock: The Paper Company (Black, White, Gray, Tan and Brown)

Patterned Paper: NRN Designs (Chinese Characters)

Ink: Tsukineko (Tuxedo Black, Cottage Ivy and Rich Cocoa)

Adhesives: Scotch (ATG and Foam Tape)

I think he came out really cute. Don really liked my little panda. So, pop on by Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges and be inspired by the design team to make a Jungle inspired project of your own.
