A card and WOYWW

I started this card last night and have finished this lunch time with a miserable Beth on my knee. It has altered slightly from last night's layout thanks to a 'helpful' Ellie punching bits of paper I had laid out ... thanks Ellie!!

This card fits the following challenges:
Charisma Cardz - soething with a tail
Creative Craft Challenge - animal antics
Passion for Promarkers - sketch
Simon Says Stamp - sing it baby ... I'm singing in the rain!

This cute mousey is coloured using my promarkers and then matted onto lilac cardstock. I glossy accented the raindrops. The dp is Basic Grey Wisteria and I added a variety of pearls, flowers and gems from my stash, and some layered ribbon.

And as it is Whats on Your Work desk Wednesday ... here was my work desk this morning...

I had started making the card last night, and ended up leaving it ...not usual for me!

Here is a closer look at the card ... before Ellie attacked bits of it!

Oh and here's the other half of my work desk ...hmmmmmm!!
Notice how the third of a desk has become nearly half, and quite possibly over half LOL!!

I survived 13 children this morning, but we are off to the doctors this afternoon with Beth as she has developed an ear infection. The receptionist helpfully pointed out that there were lots of appointments available this morning .. her ear wasn't running this morning!

I'm so late that I hope Beth has recovered..my baby had ear infections so often, they really are horrid. Your half desk looks pretty tidy to me - I love the card you were working on..and am so impressed by your ability to actually us your BG papers!

I see you make lists with challenge details and sketches too! My room is littered with them. Your space looks really rather tidy!
