Ribbon and Pearls, DT card for HM&FMC.

Hi Crafters, I hope you have had a fantastic weekend.

On this beautiful Monday, the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge

brings you a brand new challenge. I hope you will join in.

Kate is todays host and the theme she has chosen is

Ribbon and Pearls !

I have used a super cute new stamp of mine. My local hobby shop

HobbyHimmelen ('Crafters Heaven' - love the name and the shop!) recently sold out
all wooden  mounted stamps at half price. I couldn't resist the bargain..

The sentiment saying 'Welcome to the world' is also from there.

The image is called 'In A Pinch'.

The pearl border is from 'Nille', a shop selling bits and bobs
 and some crafting items.

The sweet paper is from Fancy Pants called 'Little Sprout',

 and the perfect matching ribbon is a gift from the lovely America.

Just to show you the ribbon border.

The back with my personal stamp and my thumb!

It was a bit windy so I had to keep the card safe.

  Now you have seen my inspirational piece, but do hop over  to 
the main challenge site to see the rest of the amazing inspiration 
from my sister meeces :)

I am thankful for Babies, DT card for HM&FMC

Monday once again and 

 House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge 

is here with a new challenge for you.

But before I come to that, I want to thank those of you who

played along with our 'Getting Ready for Christmas' 

challenge over the last weeks. 

I just loved looking at all the variety of projects out there.

 You got to check our challenge blog to see 

if you are one of our lucky winners!!

  

 Our new challenge chosen by Sue Kmemt :

 "I am thankful for Babies " 

is a celebration of the birth of a new 

baby boy to our teamie, Paula.

  Congratulations to Paula and her family on their new addition!

 Now, we want to see your cards/projects

 that have to do with babies.

 I hope I've inspired you to look into our challenge blog

  to see what my fabolous teamies have made this time.

 

 

I have made a card for Paula using 'A Birdie Told Me'. 

You can find the image here at House Mouse Designs.

The sweet papers are from Fancy Pants,

I think I have used them for nearly all baby cards  I've made.

I have added glitter onto wings, but it's difficult to see.

Ribbon, pearls and charm are from my stash.

The cloud is made with a die from Magnolia, 

I've glued a sort of  'tag' onto it,

and when you pull the cloud up there's a hidden message.

Here you can see the 'secret' words. Do you agree??

The card with the cloud-tag pulled out.

Today I've made a special little  'Handmade by' circle.

I have masked my 'Handmade by Dorte' stamp together

with a part of the House Mouse image.

I did not have the hearth to cut of his tail,

so it's outside the frame.

We have two generous sponsors for this challenge:

House Mouse Designs-A $25 Voucher for their online store.

My teamies have made the most awesome cards.

Since Wild Rose Studio is one of the sponsors for this challenge,

My papers are from Fancy Pants, called Christmas Magic.

I can't remember where the flowers are from, I have

 decorated them with pearls and added some punched leaves.

My usual back side with my personal stamp.

Today I have made an easel card for a baby girl.
I love making folded cards, and easel cards are a favorite of mine.

I have used this-for me -new adorable image ' Special Delivery'.
The girlie papers are 'Little Sprout' from Fancy Pants.

Flowers and leaves are punched out and
decorated with pearls.

A better photo to show you the easel card.

I saw a card made by Lols-one of my very creative teamies-
where the bird was out of the frame.

It looked so great I had to copy the idea.
Thank you, Lols.

The sentiment says; A miracle is born, 10 small fingers, 10 small toes,
a nose so sweet and skin so soft'.

The text on the tag is so true, so true!

« A baby will make
love stronger,
days shorter,
nights longer,
bankroll smaller,
home happier,
clothes shabbier,
the past forgotten,and
the future worth living.»
-Unknown

It is copyed from the Fancy Pant's papers.

I love those words!

The pacifier charm is from Kuttut
and added to the ribbon on the tag.

On the back side I found a place for my personal stamp.
