Joanna Sheen GDT :)

Morning everyone! 

Please excuse any bad quality photos I take for the next little while, we just got new lights in the kitchen and I'm trying to get used to them! You see, we had these ugly strip lights in the kitchen before, very unsightly, but fantastic for taking pics of my cards :P Now we have fancy little rows of spotlights, but they're just not half as good for taking photos haha, I can't complain though, new lights were long overdue, our kitchen doesn't look quite so like a warehouse any more :D

It's my niece's christening today as well, and having had five christening card orders I can tell you now, finding enough relevant images on time was pretty difficult! So they'll be going up on here soon too - along with a picture of the epic cake I made for the tea and biscuits after the church service :)

Anyway, enough rambling. I'm GDT over at the Joanna Sheen Challenge blog today! Very exciting altogether :D Thank you for having me!

The theme is CITRUS COLOURS, so the first thing that came to my mind was lemonade, so I used this adorable lil guy :D

House Mouse :)

Hi everybody

I took my niece to a swimming pool with waterslides and whatnot today, we stayed in for over two hours...don't ask me how! I'm not sure now that it was such a great idea because I'm still not back on form yet, I can't shake the tiredness off me for some reason. She had a great time though, her little face lit up when I said I'd take her, so that made it worthwhile.

I got this stamp a while ago and really loved colouring this in! These little House Mouse guys are just sooo cute :D I've been playing piano since i was 7, so when I saw this one I knew I had to have it :P

I love this image, I think it's just the most adorable image I've ever seen! As mentioned above, it's House Mouse :) The charm and pearls are from Ribbon Girl, the ribbon, flowers and corner are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the music paper is Bo Bunny, the other I've had in my stash since I started crafting. 

A closeup of this sweet image! I coloured it with Promarkers, not sure that I did it justice though.

A closeup of my flowers, I put all sorts of Stickles on them! 

A closeup of the ribbon and charm, I would've preferred a bronze treble clef but I didn't have one so a silver one had to do :P

Hope everyone's well. This is the first House Mouse card I've ever made! I got some images for my birthday, and this is what I made :) I LOVE these stamps, they are SO cute! Just adorable. And I actually am sort of happy enough with my card I think :D

The image is House Mouse, the sentiment is from LOTV, the charm is from Ribbon Girl, the ribbon, flowers and corner are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the swirl is a Cheery Lynn die and the doily and papers are from my stash.
