Swallow falls

 Hello me dears! What a beautiful morning here :) Its very quiet too as DD is out at dance class and then her friends, DS 1 has just left for football and DH is at work....again! Me and Ollie have just had waffles (Ollie) and bagels with some philly (me) yum.
I have washing out on the line for the second time this year (unfortunately there is plenty more to wash too) and its looking as though it will be a super day for taking photos too :)
I managed an afternoon in the craft room yesterday and came up with this layout from our daytrip to Wales. I've been shifting papers round and round on it all week and actually its turned out nothing like what I first imagined.... but I like it and thats what matters.

I've stamped up my free spirit waltzing mouse stamp in versa mark ink and embossed it and then distressed it with distress ink. My swallow charm and ribbon is from Tim Holtz. I've added a bit of  bling too, the label is a creative expression sticker. Papers are from my stash box.

Don't forget to look at the moon this evening (I know I'm getting sadder in my old age!) But its going to look bigger tonight as its closer to the earth ;)
thanks for stopping by xxx

Twas the night....

before Christmas...hee hee my second Christmas card. I fell in love with this stamp set from Waltzing mouse stamps and this image from Mo Manning. I didn't get round to using them last Christmas, so I've made sure I'll have some ready this year. I think you will see this sleepy mouse again, hes a cutey.

Heres a close up of him in his little tea cup bed. I've coloured him with promarkers, the ribbon is from my stash and the flower and lace is from wild orchid crafts.
