Where Does Time Go?

Where does time go, I just seem to be chasing my tale at the moment with the kids being off of school, so if I haven't popped by your blog this week, I promise I will be round either over the weekend or the start of the week. So please do accept my apologies.






I had to do the challenge over at House Mouse this time and it gave me a chance to use one of my favourite stamps, aren't these little critters so cute sheltering from the rain under these Autumn leaves.




I used this stamp which is called Autumn Sprinkles, and cut up one of my favourite papers which I have been saving for I don't know what, but it just went so well with the colours I had used for this stamp. The other reason for today's card is House Mouse & friends challenge blog posted about a challenge over at Midnight Madness Sketch challenge, where there are four fantastic House Mouse stamps up for grabs, I just couldn't resist as they are so gorgeous. Below is the sketch I followed, but I turned it on it's side.






So this is for the following challenges:-


1. House Mouse - challenge # 107 - Fall


2. Midnight Madness - MMSK # 127 - Sketch


3. Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes


4. Charisma Cardz - challenge # 43 - Anything Goes

5. Sweet Stampin' - Anything Goes

6. One Stop Crafts - week # 155 - No sentiments


Recipe:-

Papers - Paper Pizazz Heritage, Dovecraft Fantasy,


Colouring Mediums - Distress Inks, H20's


Tools - Border punch,

Thank you for popping by my blog.

Gorgeous creation you created here. I am always very impressed when I see one has been used so well. My favorite of all your cards is the one without any sentiment. Your colouring in on that one and the whole card is just beautiful.
