Icicle in summer

Oh and a House Mouse for you too.

Just a quick posting as I still have 101 things to do tonight.
Hope you are all enjoyed the sunshine today too.

More HM to sell

Only a very quick posting this morning as today's the day when I do my first ever sale. I'm really nervous! I'll let you know later how it went. In the meantime here are a couple of cards I made yesterday. 

I love these new House Mouse sheets since the characters are larger - some of the earlier ones were a bit fiddly to cut.

Orange flowers were coloured with orange glimmer mists and layered with textured  card  and finished with a  gem.

Hope the cocoa's not too hot!

I wish I was the big fat mouse ( or perhaps the cheeky one in the jar )

Well hope you all have an enjoyable Bank Holiday whatever you do.

Christening card and another House Mouse

It's been a busy week.  Card making, PIF gift being made, painting MIL's bathroom while she's away,  shopping/coffee with friends, and a card making workshop yesterday. 

My great niece is being christened so I made this completely using my Craft Robo, it was printed first then cut. How simple is that? Well actually it took me about 3 failed attempts before I got it right but I'm pleased with the final result.

Another House Mouse card - don't they look like they're having fun. I'm trying to do as many of these before the charity sale on Monday but I've been a bit busy making my Pass It Forward gift for next weeks big event. If you think I've gone mad then check it out on Julia's blog here to see what I'm talking about. I struggled with what I was going to make but once I got started I'm really enjoying making it. You'll have to wait a bit longer to see it. I've only  until Wednesday to finish it. Yikes - I better get a move on.

Who's been eating my chocolates?

Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend, we've been lucky here the rain has held off - just as well my son has an archery competition tomorrow in the woods - I didn't fancy slipping around in the mud.

I just love these mice, aren't they naughty - actually it's Hammy the Hampster that's the culprit this time. The odd little mouse isn't actually from this sheet but was in the bag with the rest so he's longingly looking at the chocolates.

Those of you observant ones will recognise this was work in progress on my WOYWW last week. It's one of the brilliant House Mouse decoupage sheets from Joanna Sheen - not sure from which set since I have them all!

The corners were embossed and sanded for a distressed finish, image edged with my favourite Martha Stewart doily lace punch, and finished with the birthday tag stamp from LOTV.
