When 2 of my favourite hobbies combine :)

 Hi everyone! 

Wow who would have thought I would be back again after only 3 weeks! Here is a different sort of blog post..... It involves 3 of my special interests - Sylvanian families of course, but also my love of Card making and the Wind in the Willows :) I hope you enjoy this post today. 

Crafting and Sylvanians! 

First off a card that I made about a month ago, when I discovered why I fell in love with a Crafting Company called Lawn Fawn!! I've been using their Stamps, Dies and Stencils for nearly 3 years, I just love how cute the critters are and how versatile they are too! But of course what did the stamps remind me off after I made this card with my Original Breezy Babblebrook on my desk... Of course my Beloved Sylvanians!! I had unbeknown to me found a way to create with cute critters!! I'm just so happy that I understand now why I love them so much and also I'm able to create in a way which is more me!! 😁🐇

Breezy was very amused by this creation.....

Part 2 of this blog..... Sylvanian Families Play the Wind in the Willows! 

These photos were taken yesterday evening after a spontaneous creativity in my mind! I don't get my Sylvanians out as much as I used to do but literally the last few days I've had this creation in my mind which needed to be done. The Lawn Fawn Challenge blog had a challenge which related to creating a "card" or in this case a story using your favourite "Song, Book or Movie!".... Well I created a card using another fun show but I couldn't recreate the Wind in the Willows because I didn't have a Mole stamp!! Soo... My Sylvanians came to my Rescue and I had a really fun evening creating/playing/photographing a few of my favourite scenes from my All time Favourite film!! 😁🐀🐸 .... So here is my spontaneous Creation!

"Why hello Ratty!"

"Hello Moley Old chap, would you like to go on the river?"

"Ooo yes please, I've never been in a boat before"
"What?"
"You've never been in a boat or on the river before?!"
"Well, stay with me and I will teach you all I know."
"I'd love to Ratty"
"Watch out Ratty!" 
"Lets go on a picnic"
"Here we are.... got cold ham, pickled gerkins....."
"ooo too much, too much!"
"Put this basket under your feet old chap"
"That's what I always take on these little excursions"
"Can you hear all the birds and the calls of the river and reeds?" 
"Why yes I can, its lovely."
"Ahh here we are, the perfect picnic spot!"
"Wow what a lot of yummy food"
"Why hello Badger, how are you today?"
"Hur ump, Company"
"Oh that's just his way"
Mr Otter and Portlie arrive.....
"I'm teaching Portlie how to swim and hes doing pretty good too!"
"ahh well done Portlie. Ooo any news who is out on the river today?"
"Toady is out for one..."
"First it was Punting, Then it was house boating and now its boating! and he always gives it up after a few tries without asking for my help..."
Toady floats by.... "Why hello chaps!"
"Ooo must go, Portlie is off!.. It was lovely to meet you Moley"
"lets pack away too."

Part 2..... my favourite tune.. 
"All along the backwater, Through the rushes tall, Ducks are a-dabbling, Up tails all! 
Ducks' tails, drakes' tails, Yellow Feet a-quiver, Yellow bills all out of sight Busy in the river!" 
"Oh I don't think they liked that very much!"

Part 3.... Mr Naughty Toady!
"Pooop Pooop, Beep Beep....!"
"Zooooom................."
"Hey, Get back here!!!"
"BOOOOOO"
"Oh Toady....."
"Ahhh got ya, Your a very Naughty Toady for stealing a Motor Car!" 
"Soooorrrryyyy Officer" 


I hope you all enjoyed my creation, as you can see I had a lot of fun playing around with this!! Now I just need to invest in the vintage horse and gypsy caravan..... 😉

Part 2 of the camping story will be up within the next two weeks 😊
