House Mouse - Lace It Up!!

This weeks House Mouse challenge is to use lace on your project...

We would like to see the use of lace on your projects, this could be paper lace, frilly lace a shoe lace!! Just let your imagination go wild!!

The white card and shine from the Souffle pens, has made my bad photography look even worse on this card, so sorry for the picture quality ...


♥ I have used papers from Funky's Garden and Stampin' Up! brads...along with the key element...lace...from my stash ♥

** House Mouse Challenge #1 **

Wooohoooo!! I know a few people who will be VERY happy to know that there's a BRAND NEW House Mouse challenge blog!!!

Their very first challenge is this....
For our first challenge we would like to see your project based on the theme 'NEW' (with this being a new blog, what a great challenge for us all to start on), this could be New Home, New Baby etc etc - it's up to you!

Last week I actually made my first Christmas card of this year...now I KNOW I've lost the plot when I find myself making 'New Year' cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!*.*

Furry Friends!

Florrie's ATC Challenge on Craftswap this week was set by Shazza... and the theme is 'Furry Friends' ^.^

I have used some of my favourite furry friends...the House Mouses!!!




The background has been 'splodged' with a yellow chalk ink pad, and the image stamped with Jet Black Stazon.
I've then added a bit of colour to their hats and candles with Brilliance ink pads. The lickle one in the corner is the same image stamped onto Shrink Plastic and again the hats and candles coloured as before. I have gone round the edge with the pink Brilliance to finish it ^.^

It's Those Mice Again!

I love this House Mouse stamp !

I made several of these cards for my BIL, who is serving in the Middle East, to send home as he'll be out there for Christmas.

They are a simple design as I wanted to keep them flat.I used red leather effect cardstock for the main card and gold mirri card as the base gold layer to add depth to the cards. Then added red liquid pearls to bring out the berries of the punched holly corners.

This is the other type I sent out.

A wide band of ribbon with another little mouse layered on top. The white of his hat is again liquid pearls and 'Merry Christmas' peel offs to finish.
