HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE

Our new challenge "I am thankful for Babies " is a celebration of the birth of a new baby boy to our Teamie, Paula.

Paula with Nathan Ryan Joshua

Congratulations to Paula and her family on their new addition!

Now, we want to see your cards/projects that have to do with babies.

I decided to make a swing tent card and used the Hoppy called 'Sleepy Head'  and coloured it with Copics.

 I also added the image on a Magnolia Moon as a 'pillow' and attached the image with chains to the top of the frame.
The corners and leaves are Cheery Lynn, and flowers from a variety.
The card stock is Bazzille and the card stock First Edition called Up, Up and Away.

I started to colour the images before I left to the UK and finished them whilst I was there.  
I used the La-La Land Luca and Marci Pilgrims and coloured with Skin Tones and Prisamacolor Pencils
I used a  Colorless Blender for blending with the images and use a Prisma Pencil Sharpener - these is the best Pencil Sharpener available and one of my favourite 'tools'.
I use Basic Grey as the dp, added some re.d ribbon and some Prima Lace
I wish to add a sentiment when I can add it put are still trying to put my computer back together


                         

Everybody Art Challenge - Oval

 This is my latest card for Everyboday Art Challenge and our theme this week is

'OVAL'

I used Spellbinders for my 'Oval' and used a Crealies border shaped as the edge.

My image is from Wild Rose Studio Bella with Flowers and the Bella Papers

I  coloured the image with Prismacolours.

The leaves are by Cheery Lynn and the flowers Memory Box Fancy Blossoms.

Now I am going to see if I can cram everything in to my suitcase - no hope!!!

As usual I will end up leaving tons of stuff here - then I just have to decide what I can manage without!!

I shall be back home tonight and I look forward to catching up will you all tomorrow.
