New Beginnings with The House Mouse Design Team.

Welcome to the first challenge of 2013

with the 

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

with the theme of 

New Beginnings

being hosted by our very talented teamie Christine.

Your creation could be for a New Beginning in the New Year with Resolutions, (like being healthier, or, being more organized). It could also referring to anything that is New; like a New Baby, a New Job, a New Home, a New Love, a New Life in Wedded bliss, New Friends, NEW crafty tools... really anything that brings NEW Beginnings! 

If it's New, it qualifies! :)

I have used a new stamp for my card, it's called 'Balancing Act'.

I have made the lay out simple anf used some of my favourite

design papers from Maja Design.

This pic is a bit blurry, I wanted to show the 

Stickles I have added to the cake.

Hard to see but it's there.

The round sentiment is from LOTV.

 

The back side is like this.

  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 :)

Tro det eller ej men jeg har haft gang

i et af mine nye stempler. Der var pindsvinet

fra Penny Black der fristede mest.

'Heart Allover' , hedder det.

Der er ikke brugt særlig meget mønsterpapir på dette kort.

Kun en lille rest fra Echo Park, som lige passede- med lidt fusk!

Den buede ramme er fix og færdig fra butikken,  det var 

en kortpakke med lidt forskelligt som jeg var heldig at

vinde i en candy hos Elain, tusind tak.

 Jeg ved ikke helt om denne type kort har et navn,

Men det kan stå af sig selv- som et easelkort,

Men det mangler 'bunden'.

Jeg har lavet plads til at skrive på bagsiden, jeg

har bare ikke fået limet det hvide ark på endnu.

Udfordringer:

• Kort o Mania- #77 Potpourri
• Totally Paper Crafts- #149 Ribbon
• Crafty Catz- #165 Buttons and Bows
• Sentimental Sundays- #135 Your favourite Sentimental Sundays entry (#88 Feel the Love)
• Stamp and Create- January challenge : Love
• Crafty Callender Challenge- Whats New? (new stamp)
• Penny Black and More- Love is in the air
• RRR- #63 My new toys' theme (new stamp)

Nye stempler, med rabat!

Økonomisk har vi haft en hård start på det nye år!

Først var der nogle spænder på et par slalomstøvler

 der gik i stykker. Resultat: nye støvler!

Dernæst 'døde' tørretromlen da vi kom hjem fra jule/nytårsferie.

Ny tørretumbler!

Og i går var det bilen det gik lidt hårdt ud over,

 en tur på glatisen koster en ny dør og  trinbrædt. 

Prisen tør jeg slet ikke tænke på!

Men ingen blev ingen skadet, kun på selvfølelsen ;)

Forsikringen er heldigvis i orden, så vi kommer ikke 

så galt ud af det med bilen.

Men den unge mand- vores ældste- fik lidt hikke da han

så værkstedets prisoverslag.

 House Mouse stempler.

Penny Black.

Turen på  Hobbyhimmelen efter 6 ark Bazzill
var desto mere opmuntrende;

 alle monterede træstempler blev solgt til halv pris.

Det kunne jeg selvfølgelig ikke modstå.

 

Og når disse to stempler ventede i postkassen,

så var det i grunden ikke så værst at være mig!

WOJ stemplet var fra deres julehalløj hvor jeg var 

så heldig at blive trukket ud som en af vinderne.

Og Penny Black stemplet en del af en handel..

Jeg har haft svært ved at komme i gear her efter jul.

Jeg synes der har været en del andre ting som har 

presset sig på istedet. Planen er dog at lave et

fødselsdagskort eller to i løbet af de næste dage.

A for Animal, DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Hi all and welcome to the first ABC Christmas Challenge in 2013.

Annette is hosting this time,

 A is the letter and stands for 

ANIMAL!

Easy peasy or what do you think?

It is so long since I made ​​a card, so I feel a little 'rusty'.

Here is what I got to:

I have used this cute James Bear-Pile of presents from LOTV.

It's the first time I use this image, lovely and easy to colour.

I have added Stickles on to his hat. 

The papers I have used are some old ones from Maja Design.

I have one crafting related  New Year's Resolutions;

I'm going to try use those leftovers papers

that I have!

The trees are made with a wonderful Magnolia die.

Well the backside looks like it always does.

Our sponsor is Stamp Fairy

offering one lucky  random winner a $10 gift certificate.
