Rattlesnake Wobble 2013 Notebook

Fantabulous Cricut has a challenge to create an organization project. Last yr I created a notebook with a Dragon on it since 2012 was Year of the Dragon which you can click here for details. Well, 2013 is Year of the Snake so figured why not use an action wobble on my snake and make it a Rattlesnake on my notebook. See the photo below of the Rattlesnake with Action Wobble movement. I'll use this notebook to record notes of challenge creations by blog friends that I want to refer back to.

Kraft cardstock is the base & Old West scrapbook paper for layer. Used Animal Kingdom for Snake. Used Old West Rope option for '2013' which complements the Western theme. Used Tim Holtz Paper Distresser & Distress Ink walnut stain. Made another of the Wild West Pocket Tag which you can click here for details. Added ribbon.

  15. Melissa,
    A wobbly snake on a wonderfully altered book. Sometime I'll tell you about Texas Ranger, the last of the original ones, who I looked after in the 60's. (nurse)
    Your project looks that real to me.
    Thank you for joining us at Word Art Wednesday.
