Birthday Bear with a Book!

Here's a "Bedtime Story" House Mouse - for my uncle (although I've never called him uncle as he and my aunty just got married last year after being together for YEARS!) I thought it was a cute image - and maybe relevant (falling asleep whilst reading...?)
Anyway, it's coloured with Promarkers, and the starry paper is from Dovecraft Masculine paper pack. I've added a peel-off and some punched stars & gems.

Christmas Crafting!

I bought the Papermania Henbury Lane Poinsettia ultimate decoupage pack the other day, and here's  the easel card I've made with one of the decoupage scenes:

I've used the green, red & white spotted/striped paper from that collection, and the dark red leaf pattern paper, the strip of stars, and the sentiment. I punched some holly using a Dovecraft punch, and the snowflake charm is from Mad Cow Beads.

Pickles & Onion!

Here is the first card I've really made with an image I've properly stamped myself!! It's a Pickles & Onion stamp coloured with Whispers pens, and I've used our new nesties to cut & emboss the scalloped circle. The two paper designs are Papermania, and then just a pink ribbon and 2 eyelets to finish it off!
