Mice Christmas

Hello,welcome to my blog. Wednesday already! I have had the week off work this week and have been trying to get ahead with DT projects and little makes for my son's school Christmas fayre. Will start sharing  these over the next few days.

I wanted to make a card for a  challenge this morning as it seems forever since I played in any! One of my favourite challenge blogs is over at BBTB2 and their challenge this week is Meow - Mouse Challenge. I don't have that cartridge so I used Winter Frolic for my mouse. Now this card just appeals to my sense of humour!:)

Love the look on Fluffy's face!!

Fluffy is flocked with grey,black and pink and was inked and penned before  the flock was applied.

Lots of ink and dimension.

I am also entering this over at Whimsical Wednesdays challenge which is to add texture.Lots of glitter paper,enamel and glossy accents,ribbon,twine and not to mention flock!

I used all scraps for this card.Winter Frolic for mouse,Paper Dolls Dress Up for cat and Wild Card for circle card.

My creative time for sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by.Would just like to wish all my Friends who celebrate Thanksgiving a Very Happy One.

World Card Making Day

Yay,it's the weekend! We are having a mini heatwave in the UK,so it's another gloriously sunny day here. We will probably have snow in a couple of weeks!

Just want to say a big 'hello' to all my  followers, new and old. Isn't blogland amazing? Thank you my friends for all your lovely comments.

I am off to rebuild part of my front steps and point the garden wall this afternoon when my labourer (hubby) gets back from hockey. So after watching the World Cup rugby first thing I decided to make a card for World Card Making Day.

I had a couple of challenges in mind(surprise!) when I made this card.....

Congrats

Hi,hope you had a great weekend. It's a holiday weekend here in the UK.I managed some time in my craft room this morning and made a few cards. The rest of the week is looking busy so I will share them with you during the week.
Hannah,my lovely dental assistant got engaged to her sweetheart, Jon, last week,so I wanted to make her a special engagement card. They are a young and trendy couple so wanted something simple and chic.
Last week's challenge over at Whimsical Wednesdays was 3x a Charm. You are to use 3 colours,3 cuts and 3 embellishments.

I used red,brown and black as my colours. I used Life's a Party for the heart card at 4" and the heart mat. My 3rd cut was Congrats at 7" from Wild card.

I made 3 flowers using my Tim Holtz tattered florals die as my embellishments and 3 'diamond' stones as centres. They are set like jewellery and are absolutely beautiful.

I like how this turned out.

Congratulations Hannah and Jon.

Thanks for looking.

Hugs,Jayne x

Just For You

Hi,hope your week is off to a great start. Today is a new challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion and the theme is to make a circle shaped card for any occasion. Here is what I came up with...

The card is cut at 5.25" from Wild Card and the flower is cut at 5" from Life's a Beach. All layers are embossed,sanded and inked. I curled the petal edges and raised the centres on 3d foam to add dimension.

Do come on over and check out the fabulous projects by the rest of the design team and don't forget to add your project too.

Thanks for stopping by. Sorry for so few posts lately,just very busy with the holidays. I truly believe it's important to make the most of these times as children grow up so fast and life's so busy ,it's great to kick back and have fun.
