House Mouse

Here is another House Mouse card:



This is another image that I printed off from a House Mouse cd rom but because it was a long time ago I can't remember which cd it was 😕 it might be the triple cd.
The backing paper was also from the cd and I very bravely used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges - please don't look too closely as its not very straight!
I also used some glitter and Stickles for sparkle.

Di's Digi Stamps Wheelbarrow Ted

Hello there!
I was lucky enough to win some images from Di's Digi Stamps over on Etsy and I chose Wheelbarrow Ted as one of them and made a retirement card.



I also used:
Promarkers
Die-namics wonky stitch rectangles dies
Pink Petticoat sentiment (sadly retired)
Stampin Up punch
papers from the Works
glossy accents and black gems
white gel pen for highlights - not sure if I drew them in the right place but never mind!

challenges:
as you like it challenge favourite-sketch-layout-and-why? this is my favourite sketch because I like to use 2 different patterned papers (mostly a dotty one on the bottom) separated with ribbon half way with the image in the middle.

The weather has been so lovely for the past few weeks here in Devon but after tomorrow it is going to be raining  - boo hoo! So no more gardening but perfect crafting weather so that is the up side!

Thanks for stopping by.

House Mouse Easter card

Hi there and happy Easter - here is today's card:



The image is printed from the Joanna Sheen's The Gruffies and Happy Hoppers cd and the  papers are Forever Friends Spring time. 

Challenges:
as you like it challenge. favourite-clean-simple-or-fussy-fancy. why? - an easy one for me definitely fussy and fancy because no matter how hard I try I cannot master the CAS look. I end up actually sitting on my hands in an attempt to not plaster my card with all the gems, pearls, ribbons and embellishments!!

Thanks for visiting and please leave a comment if you do!

Spellbinders Flower Cart - Mothers day card

A change from a House-Mouse card today:



I have broken my no new craft items spend with this die from Spellbinders - Flower Cart. In fairness I had saved lots of pennies so I thought why not! I used Make & Create Vintage Romance papers and Crea-Nest-Lies - XXL ticket square die. I wanted to make the sign into a chalk board so I heat embossed a Stampin Up! sentiment (Heartfelt hello's) in white embossing powder and then added a bit of chalk around it. I cut the flowers from lots of snippets of coloured card and added Stickles and liquid pearls to the centres. To finish off I added some candy dots - remember those?!

challenges:
Pixies snippets playground challenge - (must use snippets) here are the snippets I used:
I didn't end up using the pink one on top but used other green snippets not photographed!


Simon says stamp Monday challenge Transport it - I figured my cart transports flowers!!


thanks for stopping by and I hope you manage to find some craft time today!

House-Mouse decoupage card

Hello from a beautiful sunny Devon day 🌞



I think this image is from the House-Mouse decoupage cd and the papers are old Stampin Up!
There wasn't enough room for a sentiment so I didn't add one 😃 but I did add some of my favourite glossy accents to the strawberries to make them shine 🍓. The image is not cut out perfectly so please don't look too closely!! 

Challenges:
