Our challenge this week is :~ Anything But A Card!!
The title says it all really...........lol. With Christmas approaching fast (a bit too fast some would say) it would be the ideal opportunity to create a handmade gift for someone, or maybe for yourself! It's entirely your choice what you make as long as it's not a card and features at least one House Mouse or Friends image. If you wish to make a card to go with your project then that's fine.
I decided to make a book for my little girl to write down the things she would like for Christmas. I only gave it here yesterday and already she is on the second page!!! Not sure it was such a good idea now......lol.
I decided to try out these acrylic covers as i have loved them since i'd first seen them but haven't had the chance to use them!! The cute Happy Hopper is only part of a stamp, i paper pieced the present box and coloured the rest with my copics. It took some time to cut the image out but it kept my hands busy (which is something i need with trying to give up smoking!!). The papers are from the new BasicGrey Wassail range.Thanks for looking. xxx

What a lovely notebook!
I gave up smoking in july (I still smoked about a package a day)from one day to another (I smoked for 22 years). The worst part is not cutting down on cigarettes, but breaking with habits. I agree that crafting helps a lot!
