Christmouse again.

The mouse may not be a favourite with many people ,I quite like the little critters. If you've ever had a cat and a catflap then mice are inevitable. Our cat Tom would bring them in ,let them go and then fall asleep on the sofa.Other presents have included rats,hens , baby rabbits and worms.


We all know the story "Twas the night before Christmas".In my house everyone is sleeping except one little mouse.

Christmas in July

One image 5 cards

Christmas Cards All Year Round -the challenge for June was to use bright colours on your cards and also to make 5 cards .They can all be the same or all different.I picked one image that I really like and printed it out 5 times,all the images were the same size.You can see the cards grouped together above and below each card on its own.

These cards were all easy to make and require no special equipment except fancy cut craft scissors and a sharp craft knife.I used chalk to soften the edges of my images.
