Crafters Companion Pick of the Week 12 Noon on Create and Craft.

Makey Bakey Mice – GIVE AWAY!

11SEP

Afternoon all

So Once again I find myself apologising for the lack of bloggery!  BUT I come bearing an olive branch in the form of a quite special giveaway!

So as you may know, I am launching a brand new collection on Friday on Create and Craft as a Pick of the Week – the Makey Bakey Mice, who are the cutest, most adorable set of little meeces you will ever see, and they all love to make and bake just like me, so they’re very close to my heart.  I always want to break out into Billy Rae Cyrus … But don’t tell the mice , the Makey Bakey Mice, I just don’t think they’d understand, and if you tell the mice the Makey Bakey Mice they may just come and pinch your stash (OK the ending may not rhyme so well, but it makes me giggle!)

The design Team have been crafting up a storm, so I have picked a few of my favourite samples to share with you here to give you a little sneak peek of what is coming up and what you are going to be able to do with them.

I’ve included them all in a slideshow below

The theme for this challenge is anything but a card, so I decided to do a door hanger and I have used my New Snowman and Snowdog collection, it had to be quick as I didn't have much time with everything that's happened, but I managed it.
I used one of the card blanks to cover the Door Hanger and I had some glitterations  silver circles to go around the whole, A topper from the kit, bow from my Die'sire dies and some snowflake blue ribbon, I also had some Marianne designs winter gems so I added a couple of snowflakes.
