Zebra

I'm squeezing this LO in the Bird is the Word challenge - You and Me.  I like to give my kids a security teddy, one they become attached to for when they need a sleep over somewhere or I can give them when they are upset. For my youngest we got a zebra, it needed long legs for her to hold on to but she soon found the tail with the bit of fluff at the end. She would put it under her nose and suck her thumb. At 2 years, she is still very much attached to her zebra, it goes everywhere she goes and friends know Ella as, Ella with her zebra.

I couldn't find a poem for a child and a teddy's 'future' so I made one up. I'm not the world's best poet but it's nice to put my own words in the journalling. The girl and teddy is a wooden embellishment I picked up at a garage sale.

The banner is from the new Stampin Up  punch. I love it.  I added a felt flower and also a bird sticker onto my banner. I have stamped with paint and used a doily with buttons and some paper punched with the Martha Stewart punch - beaded arcs. 

I added some love heart stitching using the sew easy tool from We R Memory Keepers.

I'm happy how this LO turned out and to keep her little Zebby(as Ella calls it) part of  her childhood memories.

Till next time, happy crafting.
