No internet for a week! Its amazing just how much we rely on it now, and only 20 years ago it didn't exhist. Normal life can now resume - after 2 new modems and a 'Virgin' man. There was a good side though - no blogging meant more crafting time! I made quite a number of cards, and this House Mouse was one of them, it is for the 3rd Birthday of the HM Challenge, where the theme is - you guessed - Birthday - with the option of flowers, there is a 'blog hop' and some the original DT have joined in to celebrate, so if you have any HM stamps, join in.
I have used Cupcake Birthday with Mudpie & Muzzy image and coloured with Promarkers. The pink embossed Birthday is cut from a CB Birthday folder. Papers are 'snippets' from stash.
I am also entering this card in the following challenges:
Daring Cardmakers - Birthday (they have a fab prize of a Funky Hand Papercraft CD)
Make It Monday - Always Anything Goes
Lexi's Creations - Card for a Child
Stamp with Fun - Anything Goes
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle - Birthday
I would just like to say 'HELLO' to my new follower Craftin Suzie.
Well that's it from me - I'm off on a blog hop!
