House Mouse

Hi there! I'm back with a House Mouse card:

I used:

House Mouse Triple CD Collection

Glossy Accents

Martha Stewart border punch

Forever Friends Kraft Notes papers

Challenges:

Glitter n sparkle challenge 'Flower Power'

CD Sunday challenge 'lets go lilac'

House Mouse Challenge 'something-old nothing-new' (my backing papers are very old!)

Crafty Catz weekly challenge 'get-ready-for-summer'

I used to think that it was in some way cheating to use CD's for card making until I saw Pauline's stunning work and realised that it is not just a matter of printing things off and sticking them down but you can do so much more with them. So I say embrace the CD's and print away!!

Thanks for stopping by!
