PAPER WHIMSY CHALLENGE

Gale at Paper Whimsy is offering some free images of doors, and challenged us to use the image in our own artwork. How could I resist, especially when I have a thing about doors ...?

I altered the door itself, giving it a posh portico and adding a number, and the grumpy little girl on the step is one of my favourite PW images. Then I couldn't resist added over-sized ivy creeping up the wall and touches of grass. It's quirky but fun!

Her name is Polly and she's standing on Granny's doorstep, having run away from home because mummy is cross. She's rather hoping that Granny will have biscuits and a big hug for her ....

beautiful! I love the color for the door and the ivy climbing up the sides is perfect. I'd have no trouble giving this grumpy little girl a hug :)

Congratulations on your win. Can I ask you a question? I think I may be doing something wrong, I entered the whimsy challenge and theme thursday and the Monday one and none of mine are showing up. If you get a minute would you look at my entry for you and see if it is done properly? I would so appreciate it. I know you are busy with the new grandbaby, I know how this is(I have 17) and 7 greats and one on the way.)
