House Mouse Spring

Afternoon Folks!

Just wanted to share a House mouse card I made over the weekend but have only just managed to get photographed, why do camera batteries always die at the critical moment?

I was brave and cut into some Basic Grey Kioshi papers that I have been hoarding for a while!! I've been making a few masculine cards lately for DT commitments, so I had a good old dig through my flower collection and came up with these which I think are a mixture of prima and doodlebug but I've had them yonks! I also went wild with the pearls and embellies and also took my new spellbinders D-lites die for a test drive!! 

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Sketch

House Mouse & Friends - Springtime

Papertake Weekly - Bingo - Blooms Ribbons gems

Joanna Sheen challenge - Spring into spring

Divas by design - Flowers

Simon Says Stamp - April showers / Spring flowers

Stamp & create - Use at least 1 die

Penny Black & more - April challenge

The Pretty Little ribbon shop - Spring is in the air

Celebration Time, this card was the daily talent spot at Joanna Sheen 18/04/2013

Thanks for looking!

Mother's Day card

Being a bit new to the world of blogging and card challenges, I had been wondering how peeps found the time to enter so many challenges. After hopping around more, I realised you can enter one card into multiple challenges (I know, but I am a slow bear sometimes..)

This morning I put my thinking cap on and came up with this. I think I can enter it for EIGHT challenges!! Best of all though, I am pleased with myself for having made a Mother's Day card for my Mum in advance, so I should avoid my usual last minute panic!!

Here goes then:

Sunday sketch & stamp challenge #22 ~ A great sketch to work from:

Just Cute Bears ~ Challenge #5 ~ Lilac


Crafy Catz ~ Challenge # 21~ A fancy edge and a ribbon
