New Arrival.......

I know I haven't posted much this last week but things have been hectic as my friend Jan and I went up to Redditch last weekend for a two day workshop on the Pazzles Inspiration.  We had a great time and lots of laughs.  We've also had the builders in for a while constructing a large conservatory (I'm sick of making endless cups of tea!!!  lol) and then to top it all we've just had our great friends Linda and Steve to stay as they were on their way to St Ives - which meant the dreaded word "housework"..............  Phew!!!  lol

My next door neighbour, Karen, has just given birth to a lovely little girl Lilly-Mae and so I have made her a congratulations card.

I just had to use my House Mouse Dreampuff stamp as it's a gorgeous image especially set upon a cotton wool "puff" (idea taken from my good friend Anne).  Backing paper is from my stash and I've used nesties for all the die cuts and added some lace.  The swirl is a Magnolia die.  Flowers are from my stash and I've added a ribbon bow and a heart "hand made with love".  The sentiment with Lilly-Mae's name and birth date were done on CraftArtist.

Thanks for stopping by - have a great weekend.

House Mouse card

It's my friend Janet's birthday today and I'd like to wish her a very Happy Birthday.  Hopefully we will be seeing her tonight at our craft club meeting.

I've made a card using my House Mouse Autumn Berry stamps which were coloured with ProMarkers and Diamond Glaze added to the berries.  The base card is pearl white A5 which I have put through my Joy die cutting machine with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I was able to lay the entire card out flat (A4 size) so I didn't get any impressions on the back of the card and then put it through twice - once for each side of the card.  It will be really nice when the manufacturers start making larger embossing folders!  The layers have been cut using my Go Kreate XL Frilly Labels and also Nesties labels dies.  The flourish is a Sizzix die and I have added some purple ribbon and gems.  The sentiment is from the House Mouse stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by.
