Mices is nices!

 

Good morning, it's launch day today over at Little Claire's.  Today it's a really cute little set called 'Mice in Squares'. It is such a gorgeous little set of inchy stamps, I just love it!

 

I have used some gorgeous Craft Creation's papers on my card together with my teamie Georgina's lovely 'Stitching' stamp from her set 'Button's & Stitches' and some lovely buttons from the 'Riverbank' range.  The lace is self-adhesive, and the sentiment is from the 'Dictionary Definition's' set which you can find here.

 

I have a poorly Georgia here today, and lots of prep to do, so am off to grab a large coffee and get on with it, whilst looking after her, am so glad I can multi-task!

 

Have a great day!

Little Claire Blog Project - Flowerhead Peg

 

Hey there, thank Crunchy it's Friday!!! Long weekend awaits, love spending it with the family.

 

I have done the blog project over on the Little Claire blog today.  I have used the gorgeous 'Flowerhead' stamp to alter a peg.  These are great for little gifts or to jazz up your fridges after putting a small piece of magnetic strip on the back.

 

I have given product details and instructions over on the LC blog.  They are very quick and cheap to make, using up all of your scrap papers.

 

Have a fabby weekend, am off to do a class tomorrow if I can keep this awful cold at bay, am keeping fingers crossed that I make it to the class, I will be so fed up if I can't as it is being taken by my lovely friend and teamie Georgina.
