Time for mum's birthday again and I've used most of my critter stamps in the past, so this year I've done something a little different. A couple of years ago she was running low on her card stash and hadn't been able to get out to pick up a card for my other half's birthday,… Continue reading Mouse among blackberries
By the time we got to the middle of October, I was starting to worry that I was running out of time to come up with an idea for my mum's birthday card. I've used all my blackberry images and didn't want to repeat myself unless I absolutely had to — the same goes for… Continue reading Vintage mouse on leaves
Soon I'm going to run out of blackberry images to use of cards for my mum, but not this year: I have one digi stamp left unused. I decided what I was going to do for this year's card quite a few weeks ago, but, of course, I left it until the last week before… Continue reading Birthday blackberries
And then you realise that there's a really good reason why the other Mother's Day card didn't get posted to the blog. Although you wrote up a load of other cards and scheduled them, you didn't actually get around to writing the post to go with this card. So, a couple of days late, here… Continue reading Flowers and mice
The annual hunt for small furry Christmassy critters to go on a card for my mum. I'd narrowed it down to a handful of options, but ultimately this one won out because of the mouse butt. I love that little furry mouse butt 🙂 I decided to keep the design simple and just find a… Continue reading Mice and presents
Yes, yes, I've left the challenge until the end of the month again. But it's not like I haven't been busy making other Christmas cards; at this rate, I might even be finished by the end of November! This cute little mouse balancing on his bauble deserved to be the star of the card, so… Continue reading Balancing mouse
My mum's birthday means, as ever, finding some cute little critters (preferably rodents) for her card. Luckily, I recently discovered Isabel Cristina who creates some absolutely adorable digi stamps. I did the colouring for this during the Daily marker challenge, but I knew that it would end up on a card for my mum; I… Continue reading Mouse in a hot air balloon
I had decided to be a bit more organised this month and not leave the Gerda Steiner progressive challenge until the last few days, so, with the Autumn Scenes mini Copic class still in mind, I thought I would create a scene with the mouse sitting in front of a window with a hillside full… Continue reading Mouse at the lake
We’re heading towards the end of yet another month so it’s time for another challenge card. After last month’s turtle, Gerda Steiner gave us a cute little mouse with a hoard of strawberries to colour. Inspired by the sketch challenge from Seven Hills Crafts, I thought I’d combine the two challenges and make a shaker… Continue reading Strawberry mouse shaker
This card was created on 28th November; day 28 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I made this card with my mum in mind. I’m always on the lookout for cute critters when it comes to creating cards for her, and Diane Carubia’s mice are just adorable. How: I decided to have a… Continue reading Christmas: Poinsettia mouse
