Rocking Horse Christmas Card For Mason

Just made this little Christmas card, which is going off to some one very small called Mason Rain, using Craft Creations blank card, Scrapbook paper (SR155P Christmas Trees) and the little Decoupage Rocking Horse Mice. Aren't they cute!

Hoping to enter this card into the Craft Creations Challenge. You have to use their 'stuff'. But!! I've missed the Christmas Challenge and the next challenge says, anything but Christmas! (bother)

I've had the little Mices for ages and have been dying to use them. All my cards come from Craft Creations, (left over form the 'wedding' three years ago!!) All I needed was some nice Christmasy paper, which my local, (not very Crafty) shop had!
The decoupage sheet also came from them and was made for a 'longer' card as there's a few bits and pieces I didn't use.
Tip...only use a sharp craft knife to make sure you have nice clean cut for all the little fiddly bits. I was careful to cut them all out, only to forget to cut out the tiny bit by the reins and didn't notice until I had the silicone glue speared on the back! So a bit of cheating, I dabbed that bit of white with a pale yellow ProMarker to match the back ground (bet yer couldn't tell!)
Always worth a trip over to Craft Creations, and subscribe to their newsletter as they do have freebies, and everyone likes freebies!
New blog background was doing silly things ago this morniing, (having just a small box in the centre. I played with the word 'center' in the code (something I'd never try a year ago!) and it put the pattern back in the right place by repeating the pattern, but was still hard to read the posts, so once again, I've changed it. It's quite hard to find something not too busy with a black background. I think it's time I learn how to do my own! A nice lot of spider webs would be great!

New Baby Card

I made this New Baby card over the weekend. I sliced about an inch off the front so I could fix the B.A.B.Y. wording on the inside but so you could still see it on the front. This was part of another set available as a freebie from Canon Creative Park, (loads to hunt out) I've just added a punched stamp shape to the back of the letters and fixed them on with 3D foam pads.
The 3D decoupage sheet, with the lovely little animals on the dresser, came from Craft Creations, via my local (not very crafty) shop. I think it was about 39p so, well worth it! I've layered it using silicone glue. I knew I had some blue gingham somewhere, but could I find it? No, that's what happens when you tidy up! So I quickly hunted through Google and came up with this lovely gingham freebie from Activity Village . Other colours are available, in fact you'll find all sorts over there. The pink safety pin, (I didn't have blue!) tiny buttons and ribbon were from stash. For the insert, I fixed two scalloped circles onto one side of the paper and printed over them, then peeled off the circles so there's a nice white space to write on, or even add a sentiment later. I then printed on the other side too. I haven't used any glitter yet, buy I might do.

I've posted this on the timer, so I hope it comes out ok and that there's not too many spelling mistakes!!
