A Christmas Wave

Good Afternoon

My card for today is made using the adorable Snowman cd-rom from Crafters Companion:

This is from the decoupage section and the backing paper is from the same cd. The mats are all made from holographic card, the snowflake border is a Memory Box die, the sentiment is Lili of the Valley, sat on an Spellbinders ironworks die.  Some frosty card candy has been added to complete the card.

Time For Tea Teddy Bea

Good Evening

As soon as I saw Nela's fab project over at Teddy Bo & Co I knew it was a perfect make for a friend of mine.  Here is my finished project:

The paper I've used on the teapot is from a previous Making Cards magazine and I went round all the edges with Milled Lavender distress inks.  Teddy Bea is coloured with coloursoft pencils and distress inks, and the pattern on the cup is made using a teeny-weeny stamp.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The mat Teddy Bea and the sentiment are sat on are Spellbinders Labels 22 and this is the first time I have used them.  Little gems were added to complete the design.

I would also like to enter my project in the following challenges:

Allsorts Challenge - Use A Bear

If I'd Known You Were Coming I'd Have Baked A Cake

Good evening!

Phew, I thought I was going to be too late for the current House Mouse & Friends challenge, but I've got there just in time!

Here is my card:

This card is for a friends birthday.  He loves to bake and loves pink, so this card should go down well I hope.

The card uses a House Mouse decoupage from Joanna Sheen, and backing paper from the House Mouse inserts cd-rom.  I printed off 2 different sized photos of a chocolate muffin, put one behind the main image, and attached the smaller one to a penny slider, and then attached a mouse to the muffin.

Inside the card I've made a pocket to hold a recipe for Mississippi mud pie which I typed up and printed out, and then attached to some brown linen card.

I'm sorry about the quality of this photo.  My camera battery ran out just as I'd taken it, so I can't try and take a better one until tomorrow.

My card is for the following challenges:

House Mouse & Friends Challenge - Include a recipe

Here Come The Boys - Slider of shaker cards

Crafty Ann's Challenge - Make yourself uncomfortable - I find penny slider cards very difficult to make and get to work.  This one works - hurrah!
