While the cat's away, the mice will play!

Congrats ladies   xxx

Here's my entry.

I followed Lorraine's lovely sketch, just rotated it for my image to fit.

'Spoon Fed' is coloured with Copics and a little stickles glitter.
I know the stitching looks black, but in real life it's green!
Once my card and ribbon were layered up, I added a Craftwork Cards sentiment, the adhesive pearls and heart buttons.

Design Paper is DCWV Nan's Nursey, Baby Girl.

B is for Balloon

Afternoon everyone...

it's my Wedding Anniversary today,
25 years!!!

So I am having a chill out, crafting, blogging day

:-)

I have discovered the new post editor,
and  thought I would be brave and have a play with it.
I like the way that you can choose your image size easily.

This week's House Mouse & Friends challenge is

the letter 'B',

so, for my entry,  I chose this cute stamp with balloons,
coloured with Copics and the little mouse about to pop the balloon
is 3D'd.

I just love the expression on his face!

The paper is My Mind's Eye

(a freebie in Cardmaking and Papercraft's magazine)
and it's so gorgeous I didn't want to cover it up too much.

Do you like my bow?

It took me forever to tie that...

top of my 'to buy' list is a bow easy!

Stamp - House Mouse Pop-Ular Fun
Design Paper - My Mind's Eye - Summer
Sentiment - Craftwork Cards.

Ribbon and adhesive pearls from my stash.

Mint Magic

I took a tumble yesterday (no, I hadn't had a single alcoholic drink! )
so I can imagine taking a nice, warm bath in Mint Tea..
just like these little guys.
I love the expressions on their faces.

It's the first time I've used this stamp,
and I was a bit worried about colouring it,
but it turned out ok.
I wanted to make the little tag 3D, so I decoupaged it and added a bit of string,
with a staple on the tag and just pushed through the card at the top end.

I'd like to enter this for a couple of challenges
1. The great sketch over at Papertake - I do like these sketches where I can use my bigger stamps, and some of these House Mouse ones are BIG.
2. House Mouse & Friends - where the theme is **Sweet**

• Stamp - House Mouse, We're 'Mint Tea' Be Together.
