Well, regardless of all the snow still around and the freezing fog, both children have made it to school - hurray (from me), boo (from the kids).

Hey Mickey

Morning All.
Where did that weekend go? I failed to do any crafting, but instead tackled every wardrobe in the house, so now I have a huge heap of the childrens and my clothes that no longer fit, that I'm not quite sure what to do with. I think I could start my own charity shop, there are so many. Anyhow, at least when I came to put the ironig away, the clothes now actually fit in the cupboards with hanging room, so they may reappear looking not too bad, unlike the recent unironed look, even though they'd been ironed lol.
Anyway, todays card is ready for the new challenge over at Cutie Pie, and this time round we would like to see your cute creations inspired by a song. I saw this image of Tilda and it instantly brought back happy memories of bouncing about (I won't say dancing) to Hey Mickey!! This challenge is sponsored by the lovely Emma at Crafty Emma's Store. Our second sponsor is our very own DT Lead WOO who is giving some of her New Stash away to our Random Winner!
I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;
Birthday Sundaes - birthday card with sentiment
Lets Ink It Up - anything goes
Magnolia Stamp Lovers - sport
Stamptacular Sunday - seeing spots
The Stamp Man - red
Stampin With The Dragon - anything goes

and
Pixie Dust Studio - we're going dotty
Thanks for looking, and I hope you will pop over and join in the fun - the other DT cards are amazing.
Hugs Sharon xx

My card has been made with a Teddy Bo image coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are a combination of Nit Wits and Kraft. The butterfly was cut using a Spellbinders die and double layered, and the buttons are some from my stash, which for some reason, instead of sticking them on I decided to sew on - must be mad lol.
