A Lucky Mouse!

Good Afternoon!
Well this week I've got some Annual Leave from work and I've spent it pretty much pottering around the garden and just having some 'Me' time (the other half is still working). I must say that I'm thoroughly enjoying this time to myself, slightly disheartened though about the fact it's going by too quickly lol I had planned to do a lot of Crafting but the garden has taken much of my attention, it's hard to resist going outside when we've had sunny weather every day so far! However I made sure that I created something this morning and that is what I have to share with you all today ...

I've been organising my collection of Digi's and creating a document of which LOTV Rubber Stamps I have on my Laptop this week and I came across this design that I'd forgotten I had! This digi is called 'Lucky Mouse' and obviously would be great for a Good Luck card but also many other occasions ... if you'd like it for yourself simply click HERE to go straight to it on the website.

I don't usually get the chance to create a second monthly DT card for the PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE but I needed to make a Birthday Card for the other half and after looking through my stamps I thought this one by PB would be perfect for him! 
We have a Jack Russell so I've coloured the pooch in this stamp with the same fur patterns as ours ... fingers crossed he likes it when he opens the card next week!
Incase you don't already know the challenge theme this month is 
'Anything Goes + Something New!'

Creative Inspirations January Challenge!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As today is Wednesday we're kick starting the year with a brand new challenge over at
CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS
This month's theme is 'Something New or Something Old!'
I'd like to see your creations featuring something new to your craft stash. Whether you treated yourself to a new stamp or some papers ... or you could do the opposite and use something that you've had sitting in your stash for ages that's become neglected! For example a favourite stamp that you haven't used for years ...
Please state what the item is that you have chosen.

This month's prize is from a brand new sponsor that have kindly agreed to join us for January! CLEARLY BESOTTED are offering the winner a $15 GIFT E-CARD!
I combined both of these themes for this challenge -
Something Old - Design Papers
Something New - Using one of the images on the Design Paper for my focal point.


 INGREDIENTS -
Maja Design Papers
Sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley
Doodlebug Sprinkles
Cheesecloth, Ribbon, Paper Doily & Assorted Flowers
