One Stop DT card

Hello peeps sorry i've not been able to comment on any of your blogs this week as MIL was taken back into hospital last week and they are trying desperately to sort out her medication, she is also dehydrated and incontinent at the mo but they are trying to sort that out too, but i don't know if there is anything they can do really, so we will have to wait and see.

Any way that's enough of my problems i have just about been able to keep up with DT work this week i think mil has taken my mojo with her too lol, One Stop Crafts theme this week was chosen by our lovely Shelley and she would like to see Birth Stones! i have decided to do mine as colours of sapphires as i don't like my own which is garnets.

I have used this gorgeous house mouse image! that cheeky little mouse and cat are up to no good aren't they lol, the papers are DCWV which i got from the lovely Steph last year so i thought i'd better get using them the flowers are from the Glitter pot and Wild Orchid Crafts, the ribbon and gems are from my stash.
