Skateboarding

Hi folks.  Today I thought I'd share a card that I made earlier in the year using one of the cute mice stamp sets by Artemio.

The papers are from a First Edition pad called Daydream.

Dies used are-
Nestabilities - Grand Labels One
                      Labels Three
Memory Box -Floral Square

The mouse was of course coloured with Copics.  (Sorry can't remember the colours used as it was sooooooooooo long ago!!!)

All products used came from The Craft Barn.

Today marks the launch of this years Craft Barn Calendar Challenges. Click here to find out all about it.

I'd like to enter this card into the Layers challenge over at Allsorts.

After being consistently asked at recent demos if I teach classes I have decided to take the plunge and offer one-to-one tuition or small group classes during October and November from my home at Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex.  These will be Christmas Card based and will be priced according to which card/cards you want to make.
