Merry Christmouse

I must be in Christmouse mode, as I shared a Xmas card yesterday :)

This is an old favourite, he’s singing a jolly tune from that lovely music paper.

I have been hoarding saving music paper and thought it was about time I used it.

Coloured him with Blends, paired the black and white snowflake paper

Added some glitter to his hat

Happy Christmas in July

Hope it makes you feel a bit cooler, if it’s hot hot hot where you are?

Happy June Rudolph Day

Happy Rudolph Day!

Sorry I've not been around much, lots going on,

including parents suffering the ravages of old age and ill health.

We can only do our best, and make the most of the time we have.

That's why I'm here to support one of my favourite monthly challenges,

because it helps me make some of the many christmas cards needed,

but also it's a chance to 'play' with like minded people, and share what we love.

so, without further ado, here's my entry this month.

Sorry it's those damn mice again, but this time with a pine cone twist.

There's the embossing folder to add background texture,

and the pine cone dies cut from copper foil 

and gold glimmer paper to add interest and christmas bling!

Have a great day

April Rudolph Day

Happy 25th of the month.....

It's that time we hop over to Scrappy Mo's Rudolph Day Challenge...

I wasn't as ahead of my stash as I'd like, so I made a few....

This time I wanted to use some of my embossing folders with the mice..

hopefully you can see the detail

love the pine needles too...

Next time I plan to give you a change from the mice!

Happy Rudolph Day!

Rudolph Day February

Hi there
Happy Rudolph Day!

It's Rudolph Day again.......25th of the month,

and that means another christmas card....

I used Merry Mice again....

and watercolour pencils....

different papers .....

this last one shows how I cut an A4 sheet lengthwise....

the mice trio lends itself to a wide card......and sometimes we use half an A4 for a tent style...

just to show it in a different light....as a half fold but wide instead of tall....

I'm rambling...

so.....do go to the Rudolph Day Challenge

and see everyones efforts, and say Hi...

and it's a special dedication to Scrappy Mo's Mum....

Have a GREAT weekend

NBUS

Some of you may wonder what the title means?

NBUS = Never Before Used Stuff

I bet you have loads don't you?!

It was an idea of Darnell of djkardkreations

who is celebrating 5 years of her blog.

Do pop over to her blog and stay a while...

she is a very funny and very talented lady,

with lots of talented followers, and a fab playhouse.

So, onto my card

I still had Merry Mice out,

along with a tutorial for a mini....and I mean mini....pop up and twist card.

To show you how small, I put it against the one from the other day.

The card base is only 3" square.....

so you can imagine how small the pop out bit is....

the little stamped pics are roughly 1 1/2" x 1"

so, that's most of that stamp set christened!

I hope your week is going well

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

optional theme: no sentiment

Rudolph Day Challenge

Hello again,

sorry if I haven't visited you lately,

so much going on that I don't seem to get time,

and I know lots of you are in the same boat.

Anyhow, I am determined not to miss the first Rudolph Day of the year,

luckily I'd coloured in some images with my as yet unused 

Merry Mice.

I rummaged for my music paper, from This Christmas,

found a snippet of that and a snippet from Warmth and Cheer,

stamped some fa la la's and sentiment from a 

Kirsty Wiseman Many Greetings that I won

from the Snippets Playground.

So, here's the link to Rudolph Day Challenge,

and I wonder if Miss Di will let me into the

Snippets Playground to play there too.

Do visit them both, there's lots of lovely projects on show

Have a great weekend

Lesley
