House Mouse & Friends #13

This weeks challenge on House Mouse & Friends is..............

Our challenge this week is :~ Junk!!

I'm sure we all have at least one in our house, junk drawer that is.......lol. Your challenge is to use something from your pile of junk on your creation, it couldn't be easier!!

Here's the card i made for the challenge:

My 'junk' is the leather flower. It was in the drawer of junk we have in the kitchen (actually it's the kids drawer). The flower is an interchangeable part from my daughters sandals she had in the summer. She lost the matching one to this one straight away but we kept this one 'just incase' we ever found it......................Wonder if she'll spot it's missing..........lol.

I have also done a 'natural' feel to the card as to make up for not being able to participate in last weeks challenge!!

Hope you like it and can't wait to see what you make. x

Challenge #5 - Paper Piecing

Over on House Mouse and Friends the challenge this week is paper piecing.

Here's my card:



<--Here's the view straight on.





In this one you can see how i tried to create some dimension by 3Ding the mouse in the bag, jar and the third mouse. ----->








For this card i coloured with copics. Used Crate Paper papers (can't remember which collection). Papermania silk flowers, some buttons and ribbon scraps from stash.

House Mouse Challenge - On A Budget

This weeks challenge on House Mouse & Friends is:

With the economy in mind and the looming credit crunch we are all watching the £'s/$'s so i would like you to make a card (or whatever you choose to make) for less than £1/$2.

Your stamps and colouring pens/pencils are excluded from the price/budget.
You may also use any tools you have to create the card/project.
Items you may have received for free/in a swap or a RAK may be used but they must have an estimated value/cost.
Please remember to work out the cost for everything else:

card blank

any papers and card used

flowers/blooms

DST, glue etc (obviously this won't be much so a small estimate is fine).

Again i have tried to change my style (anyone would think i'm going through a mid-life crisis!!!)
I love cards that make the use of the white space on their cards which is something i rarely do so thought i would try and do it 'simple style'.

The cost!!
Card blank - 10p
flower - 10p
sticky gems - 8p
wool - from a ball i was given estimated cost is less than a penny but i will call it 1p
DST-only used a tiny amount to sick the image on the inside so will call it 1p
Tag & brad - 10p
Total cost.............£0.40

Challenge 2 - Lace it up!!

Well the second challenge has just been posted on House Mouse & Friends, the challenge this week is:

Our challenge this week is :~ Lace it up!! We would like to see the use of lace on your projects, this could be paper lace, frilly lace a shoe lace!! Just let your imagination go wild!!

I love lace but haven't got a great deal of it - that will soon change as i feel a spending spree coming on......lol. Here's the card i made for the challlenge:

The design team has done it once again and produced some stunning work so don't forget to check out there blogs and i hope you can join in with the challenge.

Thanks. x

Missing Mojo!!!

I have been so busy lately that i've miss placed my mojo!! I have been trying to make a few cards inbetween trying to do 1001 other things and it just doesn't work - I need to concentrate!!

Can't say i'm happy with any of these but thought i would put them on my blog just to proove i have been crafting.........lol.


My little girl hasn't had a sleep today so i'm hoping she goes to bed at a 'normal' time (for a change) which will give me a chance to have another play!!
