Give Yourself A Hug ('cos no-one else can)!

Good morning, happy Saturday, and a very happy Easter weekend. Well, this is different isn't it! Though to be honest nothing much has changed. When El Grumpo was working he would never go out on a bank holiday 'cos "Why would I want to join a traffic jam" and now we've retired every day is a holiday!
Stampotique has a fun challenge this fortnight, it's to use your favourite quote. Well I didn't want to pick a favourite, and you can't make me, so I've chosen 3!

I started by making my background with ink, paint, and texture pastes, then added some stamping.

 Then I chose my characters that would fit nicely on the Memorydex cards.

 And then found a fun quote for them! You've gotta love Miss Snottie!
And the Dwarfy Gnome.

And if I had to pick a favourite it would be Hug Monster.

I'm entering my trio into the 
Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge, Add Some Texture, the
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is a Spring Mood Board, and the Craft Stamper TIMI challenge for April.

I hope you enjoy the Easter weekend, even if it is only from the back garden. Thanks so much for looking, and stay safe x

  2. Yes, I love the hug monster too, he is just the cutest ever! Happy Easter to you too. The term El Grumpo just made me laugh out loud, that is so funny, I do hope you get some trips out after this lockdown is over.

    The cards are lovely and I really like the sentiments. Stay safe and well. Anne xx

  4. A trio of treats, Sue - I can see why didn't want to have to choose between the sentiments... I think the gnome is probably my true favourite, but the monster probably has the better attitude for these unsettling times! Stay safe, stay well and happy Easter.
