Merry Kiss-Mouse

Morning - I'm posting this with bleary eyes as I've been up most of the night with Blake. Not so much his chest infection which seems to be improving, just he didn't feel like sleeping and wanted to chatter away. So I went downstairs with him and whilst he lay chatting in his rocker chair at 3am, I was cleaning the kitchen!

This is my DT creation for Creative Card Crew where this week we challenge you to 'use your favourite things'! The DT were also given some fab digi images to work with, aren't we lucky? My favourite things are buttons, ribbons, bows, glitter gems and glitter to name but a few! Pop over to see what the rest of the DT have created.



I'm having a go with these challenges:


I used red and kraft card for my layers, and embossed the kraft layer for texture before topping with noel text patterned card. The cute little mouse is shaded with Copics and I added a red glitter gem to his nose to make him more Christmousey (ho, ho, ho). Lots of glitter and a button and a bow and a computer generated sentiment to finish it off.

Right, chores to do and a friend is bringing her little fella for a play date with Zac so I need to create some space!!
