A Little Bird Told Me




Another promising day, we've had beautiful weather which has meant I've been busy outside . We had some bad news at the beginning of the month and I didn't feel much like crafting, apologies to those I follow for a lack of comments.

I had a play yesterday and this card using a House Mouse image from the Triple CD from Joanna Sheen a Crafter's Companion Embossing Folder and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley. I decoupaged the holly leaves, it was a quick make as I kept it really simple using the sketch from SSW2 as inspiration

Hot Hot Hot



Welcome to Jocelyn's challenge at CD Sunday this week and the topic is Hot Hot Hot. Please join in and remember to use something from a CD.

My poor "sunburnt" mouse is form Joanna Sheen House Mouse Triple CD Rom and the papers from Nitwit Collections. Despite being so close to the light bulb the mouse looks quite relaxed, do you remember when small uv sun ray lamps were all the rage in the early 70's.

Pop  over and see the teams great cards then get on your thinking cap and join in.
