In the end I went on line and found a (near enough the same ) mirror the correct size which would hang vertically. Being delivered express delivery tomorrow. Then to cap it all the road digger working on next doors BT line cut through the BT cable of the house opposite so now have two houses to fix. Watch this space for further updates!!!!!
Anyway onto todays cards which are my DT examples for the new Perfectly Created Chaos challenge #9 Black,White + 1 colour.
1st card is a Joy Fold Card.
I have used card card stock for the base and then layered up each section with black and red card stock. I bought the little Westie Dog by Britannia dies back at the NEC show last year and have been waiting for a challenge to come up so that I could make using black and white for the dogs.

You must be really needing to escape into your crafting, these cards are wonderful. I hope they've taken your mind off things. And I hope things start to go more smoothly for you. We've got somebody coming to draw up plans next week, but only for the cloakroom this time so it shouldn't be TOO disruptive (famous last words)

What a nightmare with your bathroom! Keep reminding yourself that it will all be worth it when it's finished. Two brilliant cards, I especially love the first one with all the decoration inside as well as the outside. xx
Such great card ! I think you should get away while you still can and only come back when everything is fixed !
Love the cards Valery...fav is the brightly coloured first one...loving the die cuts.Hope things get sorted with the bathroom I just can't pluck up the courage to do ours....xxxx
What a nightmare - just be thankful it wasn't your BT cable they cut! Not surprised you've been crafting! Great selection of cards.
Just on a catch up Mrs A. Oh! you have been having a traumatic time with the bathroom refurb. Let's hope nothing else goes wrong.
At lease you're still able to craft and great cards too - love the sassy lady.
Hugs, Avril xx
Hi Mrs A I hope your bathroom and phone get sorted out soon. Both of your cards are gorgeous. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Oh my!! Such a horrible time for you! Seems that all the things for your home go wrong! Hope that you have your new bathroom soon!
Your two black & white & red cards are both so striking!! Love expecially the design of the first one with the scottish doggies and the pocket with the tag, so clever!
Hugs
Look on the bright side Mrs A.... at least those pesky elves aren't around to try their hands at a bit of DIY! Two super cards and I love that little Westie xx
Oh gosh, if I didn't know better I would think that the elves were back and into their mischief with all the things that are going wrong with your bathroom. Sometimes you wonder if "improvements and up-grades" are really worth the trouble they bring.
Really gorgeous cards, love the doggie images and the Lady with dog, great colour choice too.

Sorry your bathroom improvement has been so challenging. Your card designs are really lovely.
Hugs Diane
ah, these renovations, I hope all will go well in the future!
your cards are lovely, great colour combinations.
hugs xx
Oh dear, how awful for you having things go wrong. But at least you managed to find something that would fit your space. I love both of your cards and the lovely little dogs on them.

Lovely cards Mrs A! And having gone through our en suite refurb with all the traumas you have my sincere sympathy! Told you we had the same with a damaged bath from W - it's always sorted out but hassle you truly don't need on top of all the upheaval! And, the eagles have landed back in Hampshire BTW :)
Hugs

I love black & white with a splash of color--just thinking about doing that, in fact. Your 1st card is absolutely darling--just love those puppy dogs! The 2nd card is really fun--sure isn't what I look like walking Fritz--haha! Hoping things improve with the remodeling--there's always something!
oh those fun colors on your card make me happy, along with the black and white silhouette images of the doggies. I feel your pain on the bathroom issues - nothing like that ever goes smoothly anymore for anyone it seems. Glad you found a replacement online - whew!
Great colours...bright and bold red...love the combo with the black!
Second one made me smile...we all know dog lovers like that!
Fabulous cards with the cute silhouette love this.xx{aNNie}
Two lovely cards, I love black and red. Stunning.
