House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge


Eek!

It's that time again for a brand new challenge over at the House Mouse and Friends challenge blog.  The theme this time picked by DT member America is:-


so we want to see all your school themed creations.  As usual, we have some fab prizes up for grabs from our fab sponsors!
 
 One lucky winner will get a $25 gift voucher to spend in their on-line store 

My card was made very quickly late last night as I've had a right lazy last few weeks and have barely made a thing.  The Gruffies stamp is the only thing I had in my stash that was remotely suitable as he was holding a book but I think I just about managed to pull it off!  I coloured him in with my flexmarkers and the papers are a mixture of a Summer Driggs "moments" freebie kit and the school text paper is another freebie download that I've had for ages!  The ruler is simply a ruler clipart image that I printed out and cut out. 

It's my birthday today and have been spoilt rotten with breakfast in bed and some lovely goodies both crafty and non-crafty.  Luckily, it's a bank holiday so the hubby is also off to share my day!  I am now almost 7 months pregnant and have just been given some iron tablets after my blood tests revealed I was a little anaemic.  I'm hoping that after a week or so of taking them I'll feel a little perkier and will feel more like making stuff and will hopefully blog a little bit more.


Thanks for looking!

  6. Happy Birthday, Paula! WOW, what a guy, breakfast in bed, how wonderful. Hope you get to relax the rest of the day too. With the baby coming soon, resting will be a thing of the past for awhile....so do it now when you can.

    Loved your take on the challenge. This poor little guy, reading put him to sleep. Beautiful layout and colors.

    Enjoy your day.
