I'll huff and I'll puff

This is the first of two DT cards today, my House-Mouse and Friends card will be along a little later.

It's time for a new challenge at Ooh La La Creations and the theme for the next fortnight is Once Upon A Time chosen by Allison.

I have used a fabulous image and papers from the Ooh La La Creations Nursery Times CD to make my card.  This is such a fun CD perfect for the little people in our lives featuring themes like
Nursery Rhyme, Story Time & Once Upon A Time.

My son used to love this story when he was little, I think it was all of the 'huffing and puffing'.  The decoupage image and papers are all from the CD, I have just added some card candy and ribbon from my stash, the sentiment tags are LOTV stamps.

I have used one of the inserts from the collection to decorate the inside of my card, there is a choice of different designs and sizes.

Bramble

Do you remember that I told you Janet was running a competition on Facebook to name this adorable little Bunny, well the winning name was BRAMBLE, how cute is that!

I previously made a card using the digi image and now I have made one using the Card Topper Digi Kit.

I have made my card using the kit exactly as it has been designed, cutting out the decoupage layers and layering them up onto the card front.  I then adhered the card front to a scalloped card base.

I also used the insert to decorate the inside of my card.

New Beginnings

It's the dreaded One Layer week over at Less is More again and the theme is New Beginnings.  Well I couldn't think of anything very original so I went with a Wedding card.

The Wedding Day sentiment is a Forever Friends stamp heat embossed, the dry embossing along the bottom is a Spellbinders M-Bossabilities embossing folder.

I made the first one using silver embossing powder but didn't really like it so I did a second one with gold, they were both a nightmare to photograph and I'm still not sure which one I like the best.

I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:

Less is More Week 206 - One Layer Challenge
Quirky Crafts Challenge 1 - Clean and Simple

The Corrosive Challenge 215 - Shiny and New

Just for you

It's time for our mid challenge reminder at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, this fortnight our theme is:Anything Goes with an OPTIONAL Sketch, don't forget you must use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have opted for the anything goes option this time and used a fabulous image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Birthdays stamp set to make a tag to go on a little gift bag.

I coloured my image with ProMarkers, cut it out with a Lawn Fawn tag die and added 3D Crystal Lacquer to the bubble.  I used papers from Pink Petticoat to make the gift bag and plain pink tag. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.

I actually worked out how to punch the holes in the top of the bag using my We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board this time and added a little twine to keep it together.

PIZZAZZ APLENTY
