Sweet You!

To celebrate the sale over at 7kidscollegefund I thought I would pull out one of my wood mounted house mouses and ink him up. I just love this little fella, although lets really think about this- if you saw a little field mouse sniffing a flower would you want to put him on a card? Yikes......... but you can't resist with this little guy! I used Momento Tuxedo black ink and then my copics to color him up. I then pulled out the flower soft- I love this stuff but do not use it as often as I should. If you have not tried it- it is easy and not messy at all to use. You just use the flower soft glue first and then drop a pinch of colored flower soft on the glue, press and set for a minute and then put the excess back in the container. It give the card a great UMPH I think! I added a few little dew drops and ribbon and all done! Hope you like him.

Smell the Flowers

Tee Hee Hee........ are these little bunnies not the cutest? And I love it cause they are springy as well! These are little Happy Hoppers and someone sent me these images recently and I had to put some color on them and make a springy card. I colored the little bunnies with copics, added a little glitter to their wings too. The paper is from my DCWV paper pack but it is funny because the image is so large and I used a standard size card that you don't get to see much of it. I guess I am getting so used to the larger square cards, gives me more room to layer and stack- and still be able to see the wonderful papers. The flowers are from my stash of primas even though some look bigger.

This card...... there is a little story behind it and it is this (yes, I am going to admit my mistake and allow you all a smile on your faces today, at my expense) So there is the House Mouse challenge (last week) and Kelly over at KLSNS asked if we would participate and I was like, "Sure, that will be fun, I have images!" and she gave me the date and I made the card and sent it over to her. Well low and behold, at some point between me agreeing and who knows when she sent over a sketch to work with - imagine the embarrassment when I went to the HM site on sketch day and see all these wonderful cards with this sketch- which really did not look like mine. I asked Kelly about it and she told me it looked similar so she never questioned me.............. I told her next time just slap me! Oh my............ so now you know............ the rest of the story!

Berry Sweet!

Happy Friday!

Today's card is a Berry sweet card I think and when I showed my husband he said to me, "berry much? don't you girls ever grow up?" lol- of course my response was what for?

It is a house mouse image and with the strawberries it reminded me of spring and then I wanted to use the pinks. Actually what I wanted was to experiment coloring the strawberries, shading them. If you look close I then added a little laguer. The DP is DCWV paperpack and layered with SU celery and pretty in pink. I even stitched it with my sewing machine- that was a trip. I used SU grosgrain to finish it off.

I have some good news to share with you all this weekend. So I will be back Sat or Sun to share some new things going on with me!

Have a good one!

That is what friends are for...........

This sweet little image is a House Mouse Stamp called Sweet Kiss. I had seen a card with it and wanted to get the stamp but could not find it. A friend found it and bought and sent to me..... was that not so sweet of her? Her name is Dawn and I appreciate it so much that I made this card to send to her. I hope that she likes it and knows how much I appreciate her finding the stamp for me. I used my copics to color it too! Then layers on river rock and teal- the patterned paper is a piece I picked up at my local scrap store that is going out of business and I didn't recall the name but thought it was so delicately sweet.
I am working on some card candy for a swap I am in- will post some for you later. HOpe you all have a wonderful weekend!
