House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge

Dispite the icy conditions we did have a little stroll to our local market and I bought some House Mouse rubber stamps which were in a sale. In fact I was only going to buy one but ended up buying 4 when she offered to me for £5.00 each, how bad is that! I have no self control and have broken one of my New Years resolution. Oh well what the heck!

I must say the green don't seem to go in this photo but I promise in 'real life' they do.
So this image is from Feathered Hugs JSHM005.
I've coloured the image with Promarkers, and added punched snowflakes, pearls, candi dots and Frostyville border.
I'm entering this card into the following challenge:

Krafty Kow Kristmas

So hello folks, and how's the weather with you. It's pretty snowy and cold in Dorset. I had a very slow walk out today but was very careful especially with this dodgy back of mine!

By the way we lost our cow background template, and have no idea why, so here's the new look.

My card today is an image from Penny Black which is called Christmas Ride and I love it. I've coloured the image with Promarkers, matted & layered the image, added gold candi dots. I've used Stickles Star Dust on the image which can't be seen in the photo. The snowflake is recycled from a Christmas card.

Tillie-Belle's Rug Is Finished!!

I was really lucky to pick up this latch hook rug up in the sale at The Range back in November last year. It is something I have always wanted to do. I started it in November and finished it last weekend and it will be for baby Tillie-Belle to put next to her cot/bed. I've yet to finish of the edges but I'm so please with the end result.
