Here is my choice - being my usual wishy washy self I couldn't make my mind up which challenge to choose so I opted for throwing a few into the 'pot' as it were. 

Copics used

• Blue jeans  -   B0000  B00  B23  B45  B93  B95
• T-shirt (greens) G0000  G000 G023 G21
• Blond Hair  Y0000 W1 W3 W5
• Black (Video pad & trainers) C00 C1  C3  C5  C7

I used Mo's fabulous image Video Boy, the papers are Basic Grey's Vintage and called Aged and Confused Vagabond. I used an MS deep punch for the borders and a Spellbinder fancy tag for the sentiments.I didn't really want a flower but felt it needed something in the bottom corner so I opted for a funky flower using the EK Succes Daisy punch. Ribbon and brad are from my stash.

My prize - the card should the winner want it and the Elizabeth Bell, Sugar Nellie stamp 'Rope Swing'.

My next post is for House Mouse Monday challenge and is a sketch by the lovely Emma.

  

and this is my interpretation of it, I kept almost exactly to the sketch. I used the image Mice Cappucino and coloured it with the usual Copics. The papers are the same as Copic Creations - Basic Grey's  vagabond. The borders are cut with an MS punch, the flowers from a Woodware punch and the two tags are a fancy labels die cut in half. I couldn't make my mind up (still wishy washy!!) what colour to use for the cup so I tried pale green, then pale blue, neither were right so I just used some of both blue and green and have to admit I rather like the effect that this has given. The pearls are from my stash.

Well, I hope you've all had a great weekend and the weather is better than here - it's freesing cold today and it snowed again this morning, although it didn't stick thankfully.
