Baking a Cake!!

Morning Folks!!

I'm here to share my second card as a guest DT member over at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge - and yes, I am still wearing a BIG smile om my face!!

This time the challenge is:

FLOWER POWER OR FLOUR POWER  if you dare!! 

As you can see I did dare and used this cute decoupage to make my card:

  

Have to say that little tail was tricky to cut out!! 

I teamed the baking mice up with some fabric flowers that I have been hoarding forever and a mixture of old and new papers - yes I succumbed and treated myself to the First Edition Spring drop pad - my excuse I think the diagonal pattern looks good with the little baking team. The other papers are from my stash, one unknown and some dovecraft!! The sentiment is from a mulberry wood stamp set - cute font!!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Polkadoodles - Spring colours

Oldie but a Goodie - Inspired by a song - Stir it up by Bob Marley (old flowers and decoupage)

Good Evening Folks!

Hope your weekend is going well!! I don't seem to have achieved that much today but I did finish this little card using a vintage Forever Friends stamp that I found lurking in a box in my room - really one day I will be properly organised and ultra tidy with everything in it's place - yeah I know the Flying Pig just went past!! Anyway, here she is looking really cute and bashful! The papers are from my scraps collection, a mixture of DCWV and papermania I think??

Here's a closer look:

I followed this great sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday as my inspiration:

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all staying warm and cosy in this cold weather. It's Thursday again and time for a new challenge at C.R.A.F.T.

This time we would like to see your projects for

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY

We are sponsored again by

Now I have to admit that the three people I know who have birthdays close to christmas all hate having birthday cards that look like Christmas cards or worse still a Christmas card sent instead of a birthday card! Bearing this in mind, I have used a Tartan paper (somehow always reminds me of Christmas - why??) , a dark Christmas green colour and a few splashes of gold. Hopefully a 'hint' of Christmas

The stamped images are from a larger stamp from Little Claire which I bought years ago at a craft show, it was one of the first clear stamps in my collection! They are coloured with promarkers.

The little dog charm is also antique and from Crafty charms on ebay!

I'd also like to enter this into the following challenges:

Oldie but a Goodie - Xmas birthday

Party time Tuesdays - Anything goes birthday!

Passion for promarkers - Old & New (old stamp and charm, new tartan paper)

Fab N Funky : Birthday

Bee Crafty's card Challenge : Anything goes but include white

Stay warm folks!
