Summer holidays - House Mouse

Eek!

Did you miss me?!?  It's been a while since I last posted but I've had an infection and now I think I have a trapped nerve in my back - lucky me!  Thankfully, I made this DT card before I was unwell as I haven't made anything for a few weeks!  I'm now 24 weeks pregnant and look a similar size that I was toward the end of my first pregnancy so I feel enormous!

It's time for another challenge over at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.  Todays challenge has been chosen by DT member Christine who has picked

Summer Holidays

so we want to see any of your creations that have something to do with summertime fun!

I have used a wooden stampabilities Gruffies stamp called "Hammock hibernation" that I've had a while and had not had chance to use it until now!  I have coloured the image in with my promarkers and flexmarkers.
 
The papers are from a massive K&Co special pad that I'd also never used but was starting to fall to pieces so I decided I should start using it!  The notepad effect punch is a stampin' up one that I bought off ebay that I lost and found again recently!  I'm still using the last few of the papermania scrabble letters before they're all gone although it's getting more difficult to string words together.


We have Di's Digi Downloads as our fab sponsor who are offering a $10 gift voucher
  and there is also a fab set of Joanna Sheen House Mouse stamps up for grabs donated by Christine


I really hope that you join us with all your summery creations!

Thanks for looking!

  12. Paula, I'm so glad you got this card done prior to your health issues, because we would have missed seeing such an adorable creation. I am so sorry to hear of your problems and I wish you better health very soon and, of course I wish you an easy time with the rest of your pregnancy.
