Say Cheeeeeeeeeeese!!

Here is my entry for the Craft Barn's Alpha Challenge - I couldn't wait to see what the letter was this week.....oooh C - a lot of choice but I settled on Cheese!!

Here is the link: http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/alpha-challenge-letter-c.html

I thought hmm what shall I do with cheese and I thought I am sure I cut out a mouse ages ago and never used it for anything......so the mouse was cut out on the Cricut and I stuck on googly eyes and then I hand cut the cheese out of some yellow card and hole punched it. For the background I painted the page white and then went round the edge with Paper Artsy light blue colour. I stuck on the mouse and the cheese....and then flicked some blue ink over and drew on some cheesy grins and then stamped the letter C in blue archival. Then I couldn't finish of course without edging in walnut stain distress ink.


Also thanks for those tips on using a glass plate to take photos......luckily I have a boyfriend who takes things apart and when I asked him he came up with the glass plate from an old scanner which was perfect!
