This week Jan mixed products from many different sources ! The flower came from My Favorite Things stamps - she stamped three times, and then fussy cut the petals, twirled them around an awl, and popped a brad in the middle. Her blog shows you how - check it out !

Liz

Liz used the very cute stamp 'Millie The Mouse' from My Favourite Things to make her card with this week's sketch. She used some glitter to outline the mouse and to colour in the bow and ears. And she added some rhinestones for some extra bling
