House-mouse & Friends Monday Challenge

 Hello

The challenge theme this week over at House-mouse & Friends is Anything Goes with the option to use green.

Here is my card:

I used Joanna Sheen's decoupage cd-rom and printed and cut out the decoupage.  I printed a matching paper which I cut in half and used half on the front and the other half as an insert.

I chose some co-ordinating card to make my card base and then added a white mat layer before adding my backing paper.

Here is the inside.

The card is larger than A5.

This is a birthday card for my sister, who has recently had her garden re-done but doesn't have flowers planted yet!

Thanks for visiting.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #167 - Hosted by Jocelyn

Hello and welcome.

Time once again for our new challenge at Cd Sunday Plus which this this is hosted by our lovely Jocelyn.

This is a card I made for a friend's birthday. She has a sausage dog that looks just like this!

 I used Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Decoupage cd-rom to make the card. I love the little mouse at the back using him as a trampoline!

This is the birthday gift I crocheted for her

This is the second of these I've crocheted....I don't think I'll be doing any more!!

Please do join us over at the challenge.

Happy Birthday From House Mouse

I love the house mouse, happy hoppers and gruffies images, they never fail to make me smile and I think when they are decoupaged it really brings them to life.  Decoupage remains my favourite technique although I am finding it more difficult to do with the deterioration in my eyesight and the arthritis in my hands.  What joy!  This card I made for one of my daughters; friends.

The decoupage image was printed from the House-mouse decoupage cd-rom from Joanna Sheen.  I think the backing paper was printed from the same cd-rom but I forgot to make a note, sorry!

I used an 8 x 8 card blank and Lynda Chapman's kraft card for all my mats.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

CD Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes but must use an item from a cd-rom.

House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge - Anything Goes or All About The Weather

Many Happy Returns

Hi

I hope you are keeping safe and warm wherever you are.

This is my second entry into the latest challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Sketches can be so helpful when you are struggling for ideas:

This is a card I've made for a friend who likes to cook.  I used a decoupaged image from Joanna Sheen and printed a backing paper from Joanna Sheen's RHS cd-rom.  I embossed some orange card from PaperMill using a Crafters' Companion embossing folder.  The red card is also from PaperMill and the black card is from Lynda Chapman at Creative Crafting World.  The red eyelets are from my stash.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
