What Are Those Meeces Up To?

Can you believe this is my third post today? Well what else can i do on these crutches, i can't do any gardening, it's bugging me not being able to take over from my Hubby some of the grass cutting or repotting!!

Anyhoo! Here's a Christmas card using those cute mice from 'House Mouse', stamped with Archival Ink and coloured with Copics and heat embossed some Fran-tage at the bottom of the image. Hubby says it looks like cappucino or something like that!

I used my Magnolia 'Paris Night' lamppost die and my Joy Crafts 'Snowflake' border die.

Prima DP, a ribbon bow and a pearl. KraftStax from Papermania.

Pretty Pink Pen pot

Good morning everyone! I'm going for my mammogram today, not sure how that's going to work as i'm still on crutches! My Physiotherapist is organinsing a scan for my knee because he thinks the problem could be the cartlidge!

Anyhoo! Here's an altered item using an empty dried milk container and i turned it into a storage pot for my pens. I used some stashed wallpaper showing the reverse side, added some Queen & Co Washi Tape,

a Spellbinders label die, some Card Candi, brads and peel off letters.

I even punched a hole in the back so i can hang it from a hook on my craftroom wall.

Flowers and a Fairy

Good evening everyone! How's the weather been for you, it's been a funny day here in the NE of England, warm but not warm, cold but not cold and dull. I hope you have had better weather!

I've made a cheerful sunny card today using a Flower Fairies chipboard tag, some strips of Basic Grey's 6x6 Serenade DPs, a Petaloo flower and gem flower centre, some satin ribbon and some pearls.
