SEPTEMBER Challenge #26 Giraffes Can't Dance

This month, the cute book called Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae is the inspiration book!!


Listen to it HERE at YouTube.

Let the story theme, the cover, the layout of the cover, the color scheme (USUALLY not just one color, unless the story permits it!) inspire you to get creative!!!

The guest designer this month is Susan Renshaw.
Here's a little about Susan.
~*~
Although I am originally from the UK I have been an expat for 25 years or so, living in various countries but now settling in Aus. I am a retired teacher, mother of 4 and grandmother of 4.

I have always enjoyed crafting but my current passion is mixed media. I love to use rubber stamps, stencils, my Gelli plate, inks and paints. I like to make ATCs, Cards and journal pages including junk journals. Probably my style is ‘off the wall’, grungy but I like the challenge of using an image that is not my choice, and being inspired by the books in this challenge.

Here's Susan's adorable creation!

Here's my project.
