An Early Halloween Card


I had this set of House Mouse acrylic stamps that I bought at Christmas time and had never inked them. I was anxious to give them a try. So here is one that I made the other night.

Paper is from DCWV. The shapes are from my nestability collection.

3rd Faerie


Here is the 3rd Faerire from the set that I bought from Inkadinkado. Had a teacher comment at school the other day about this card. She told me I had used our school colors for her. Hadn't really thought about it when I first made her, but she is our school colors, green and yellow. Once again I have used Basic Grey paper on this card.

Delight


Here is a card I made for our MCE or Monthly Card Exchange on one of the Yahoo groups that I belong to. It is a fun little challenge each month, so months we have a theme and other months we get to make whatever we want. This month was to make something with a lily and the color emerald green. Well, I didn't find any lilies in my collection of stamps, so we could then use any flower. But I also used a green in my card so that helped.
Used the Delight In Life set from Stampin' Up. Hubby made the bow for me with a bowmaker that I found on Ebay.

Thanks for looking and I'll be sharing several more today that I haven't been able to get on here in the last few days.

Another Faerie


Been playing with the faerie stamps again. This is a great set by Inkadinkado. So many possiblities. This little girl is stamped on Georgia Pacific cardstock with memento tuxedo black ink. Paper is from Basic Grey. Coloring medium is my ever present prismamarkers. The faerie and mat are cut with the nestabilities deckle rectangle, a new toy for me.

Hope you enjoy this little girl.

Get Well


I had this image sitting here ready for a card. I colored it some time back and just hadn't done anything with it. Decided to put it to a card tonight. Very simple, but since my mind is not all here, figured this would work just fine.
Supplies included Stampin' Up paper, Basic Grey paper, prismamarkers and large brads.

Thanks for coming to visit.

House Mouse Birthday


Another card made. I must be on a roll. I have done more cards in the last 2 nights than in the last month. Woohoo!!!! Maybe I am back on track, at least until a house is found and we start moving. But I will gladly give up my crafting for a short bit for us to get our own place.
Once again, my favorite little guys House Mouse, using an unknown background paper, prima flowers with mini white brads. An unknown ribbon and my ever faithful prismamarkers.
This is actually for a friend that has a birthday coming up in the very near future.

Thanks for looking and until next time, I hope you are as blessed as I have been lately.

Mother's Day


I have not gotten to spend any time with my stamps and ink lately. I was really starting to have withdrawals. But was able to remedy that last night with this simple little card. I found the flowers at our LSS they are the Mulberry Street by Petaloo. I love these flowers, I have to go back over there tomorrow and hope to pick up another color or two. Thought these were really cute.

Anyway, not much to tell on this card. The image is a Fluffles that was RAKed to me. The flowers by Petaloo and the Sentiment from Stampin' Up. Paper is Stampin' UP and American Craft.

Thanks for looking and I'll see if I can't post a little more often.

I Have Been MIA

I am so sorry that I haven't been around lately. I was hoping during spring break that I would have time to do some crafting, that hasn't happened. Hubby and I have been house hunting. We have finally decided to buy a house instead of putting money in someone else's pocket. We have not had a lot of luck finding what we wanted until this past weekend. We made an offer on the house yesterday and waiting to hear back if it has been accepted or if they will counter offer to us.
This evening I worked at McDonald's for a little over an hour. We are having McTeacher night at McDonald's. The staff at the school is trying to raise money for our parent volunteer dinner next month. The idea is to be able to have the dinner catered instead of several people making the dinner. Though we do have a teacher that has volunteered to make lasgana for about 80 people. If you are making one pan, it is just as easy to make 10. Hope to have a few pictures of this to share in a day or two.
Everyone have a good night and better tomorrow and I will try to have something to share real soon.
