Hello lovely peeps,
Today is the day we are putting up the Christmas trees!
The 3rd of December is late for me as mine are usually all decorated and twinkling away by the 1st but I just haven't been bothered with Christmas this year which is so unlike me. I am hoping that by the time I am sat relaxing looking at twinkling lights on my trees the festive spirit will have found me again. I so don't want to be The Grinch lol.

It's Wednesday which means ..........

& this week our challenge is
My lovely teamies and I are featuring
products on our cards this week, if you have some we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to enter our challenge.
On today's card I have used an adorable House Mouse stamp which I bought last Christmas and finally this little cutie has had an inking. I just love gingerbread houses. I did attempt to make some last year using a mould but me and cooking just do not mix! Several attempts all went in the bin as they were kind of the wrong colour! Who knows maybe charred gingerbread houses will be all the rage and my attempts will be in demand someday and everyone will be begging me to cremate one for them then lol.
The copic colours I've used are -
Gingerbread House - E37, E35, E31 / C1, C0, C00. Sweets - R89, R59, R39 / RV55, RV52, RV63 / YG23, YG01, YG0000 / V22, V25, V00 / Y26, Y21, Y00.
Mice - C3, C1, C00 / E21, E23, E25 / E50, E51, E53, RO1
As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous
