Play it again.....

Evening Folks!

I managed to get a little time to play today and I'm squeaking in at the last minute for another challenge!! This one is for one of my fav challenges - House Mouse and Friends, where they'd like to see you ink up a stamp you haven't used before. Now, I must confess there are quite a few in my HM collection that fall in to that category so it was a tough choice!! This one is from a Joanna Sheen set called Friends like you.

I just love the look of concentration on his face as he thumps the keys!! Pretty much my own piano playing style!

He is of course coloured with promarkers (nearly all the shades of grey!!) and the papers are mainly papermania capsule collection.

Afternoon Folks!

A quick post from me today, I want to enter the Winter Wonderland challenge that finishes tonight!! 

My mojo has been hiding for a while so I tried to tempt it to play by buying a new digi stamp at the weekend - it's called Buddy's Balloon from Bunny Zoes - so cute! Here's my card, quite simple but at least I made something instead of throwing it in the bin!!

All the papers are from my scraps box and I've paper pieced the balloon! the sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Evening everyone and a belated Happy New Year!

I'm a running a bit late today, just realised if you schedule a post it does need to be on the right day for it to publish.... sigh!

My card is part of the midway reminder for the challenge over at Ready Teddy Go where the theme is 

NEW BEGINNINGS

We have a great  prize on offer from Hobby House to tempt you!! Sadly this is going to be the last Ready Teddy challenge for a while but hopefully it may return!

I've used a Gruffies decoupage sheet from Joanna Sheen teamed up with First Edition papers to make quite a CAS good luck card,  just love that big old bear snoring away!!
