Waltzing mouse sketch

I adore these little guys from Waltzingmouse, aren't they just the cutest? I used this Waltzingmouse sketch for this card, as you can see I rotated the sketch. I used stamps from their Half Pint Heroes set for the background and the three little guy's and I used nesties to create the circles. I finished it off with my corner chomper.


I also want to enter this into the Pollycraft challenge - 3 circles.

Colour your critters

Over at Pollycraft we're being challenged to Colour our Critters. I love the Pollycraft images and these monsters, aliens and robots are so cute :)  I kept meaning to colour this critter that has been sitting on my desk for a month or so, I've finally done it! 


I wanted to try out this new technique for outlining where you use dots of various colours.  I really enjoyed it and I think this is a technique that might come out again, although now I look at the photo I think I should have gone further out.  Anyway, hope you like it!

A Card Marathon

Morning all, this may well be the start of quite a few posts (dependent on how many times number 2 asks to " play on the 'puter ") as my Mum asked me to create a set of cards for family and some generics so that she has a chance of remembering people's birthdays this year! (I won't comment on the fact that she's already behind on some of the main members, mainly her father and husband! Feb is a busy month) Anyway, in order to keep everything in order I used an old ice cream box (which I have slightly decorated - must take a photo soon!) and have created about 30 cards, hence the marathon! There are a few more I would like to do but we'll see! So I have about 20 odd cards to show you (I took some from my stash) but I will try to stagger them!


Here's the first one. I recently bought PTI impression plate and this was from one of my first trials. I added a ribbon and stamped the Papermania sentiment on the ribbon.

Crafty Sentiments - Spring

Crafty Sentiments Challenge this week is all about Spring (here's hoping I actually get to see some spring weather this week!) I created this card using the gorgeousness that is Crafty Sentiment's Amy with basket 2, isn't she a cutey? Don't forget to check out my teamates gorgeous creations over at Crafty Sentiments.

Digi and punches

Hi all, this is a card I did ages ago (hence the gorgeous sunlight!) and it's perfect for the latest Digi Tuesday challenge - punches. The image is a digistamp boutique one.

Sorry for the short post but I have an ever increasing headache (hopefully will lessen when kids are finally in bed!)

Crafty Sentiments - Lemon and Lilac

Welcome to this week's Crafty Sentiments Challenge. This week we are featuring the brill colour scheme that is of Lemon and Lilac.  I wouldn't normally choose these colours but they work beautifully together and i loved using a different set of colours (however minimally I used them!) I really followed my heart on this and went for a very CAS card. I used two Crafty Sentiments stamps, the bear is Teddy with Rose and I used a sentiment from the Patches and Stitch set (I love this set.)

Don't forget to check out my team mates beautiful Lilca and Lemon creations.

I coloured Teddy with Rose with my trusty Coloursoft pencils and I blended with sansador.  I finished it off with some gems (I coloured them with a lilac copic) and I added liquid pearls to the bouquet.

Waltzing mouse sketch

I recently bought an amazing stamp set from Waltzingmouse and they are sooo adorable, unfortunately I don't do them justice!  I was on their blog tonight and I saw their latest sketch challenge ends tomorrow so I decided to whip this card up (it's taken me about 45 mins from sketch to blog!) 


So here is my humble offering :
