Good morning peeps,
It's no good I am going to have to go into hibernation, but not until I've been to the craft shop with Ali this morning but straight after I think I will as I can't bear the cold and my shoulder just seizes up even more in cold weather. I know I'm a wimp, I've seen the sub zero temperatures some of our friends are suffering & I certainly won't be visiting any North Eastern blog friends any time soon lol.
Today is new challenge at
& this week our new challenge is
This week my fabulous teamies & I are showcasing Stampabilities, if you have them we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to enter our challenge.
My card today isn't very "me" at all as I've been brave and made a dreaded man card as I never have any in stock they are literally made only when absolutely necessary. I'm sure these little mice would look happier if I added a few flowers though lol.
Ingredients -
Image - House Mouse, Swiss Ribbon Cheese Present
Medium - Copics
Papers - Tim Holtz & Hero Arts Kraft
Pearls - Hero Arts
As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a whopping $50 spending spree in the fabulous Simon Says Stamp superstore.
Pop over to the STORE BLOG there are lots of sneak peeks from CHA as well as the usual generous give aways & tutorials to see.
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Sketch & Stash - previous sketch (61 - new Doo Hickey, old papers), Crafty Sentiments - punches &/or dies, Die Cuttin' Divas - anything goes
Keep warm peeps, I'll be back after a bit of crafty shopping :)
My candy winner will be announced in the next couple of days when I've checked for double entries.
Thanks for stopping by
Such a fun card Mandy, love it...hugs

ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie,
ReplyDeleteAww this is such a cute card - even if it doesn't have the obligatory flowers and glitter on it!! LOL
You'd best get back to making one with glitter on before you get withdrawal symptoms! ROFL
I like the sound of hibernation - me, my craft room and a heater. Naturally there would be plenty of food and drink to keep me company too! LOL
take care
hugs
