HMFMC126 5x birthday

Hello all. I am trying to do another challenge. I love the House Mouse site and challenge blog. They come up with some good challenges.

I decided to try my hand at this one. It was to use a stamp with two or more animals( house mouse) for your project.

i wanted to use black cardstock for my card base. The orange pattern layer is by DCWV. The yellow and the striped is from Basic grey.
the orange layer is 4 x 5 1/4. i cut the others on a diagonal to layer over. I stamped the image with memento tuxedo black. colored with faber castell and distress marker. i layered the image with black cardstock and blue cardstock. I stamped birthday from Paper Smooches on the yellow triangle. i added the line of dot stickers from stampendous. on the striped layer.

What do you think? did i do good for this challenge?

Cardztv challenge 12

Hi I wanted to do a card for the challenge. only thing is i don't have any Cardztv stamps. So i use a different stamps on this card.

i cut a 8 x 11 sheet of Georgia Pacific paper to make a a2 sized card. i used a corner rounder by Fiskars to round all four corners. I cut the pattern paper to just under what was needed and rounded all corners. I stamped this cute image with Memento tuxedo black and colored with copic markers. i also rounded the corners on this image. I stamped the sentiment on the top and bottom of the stamped image. I think i came out nice.

hugs

I just wanted to share a card on one the hottest days so far this summer. It was brutal today. i was lucky that i work in air conditioning. I did this card today during break and lunch. i had the image mostly colored already.

I really like the Stamping bella line of stamps. i can do so many cards with this line. I colored the poppies a different color this time. This is just a cheery card.

i had to use Paper Smooches hugs sentiment on this card. It just makes you want to hug. LOL. Thanks for looking.

July ramblings

Hello to a Sunny July. I am so glad its summer now. I love the warm weather. it makes the RA livable. just going from air conditioned to outside takes me getting used to.
I am so glad that i got some cards done for the troops. i did 18 so far. I am getting another batch done.

i had some cardstock from Core d'nations. i thought grey would go really well with this pattern paper. this base is a A2 sized cardbase.

I got this pattern paper from Heidi Grace. its double-sized. It makes some really nice cards.  I had some adhesive pearls. I used sentiment sampler from Paper smooches. I love this set.  I hope to send this card with the others to the troops. 

thanks for stopping today.

warm thoughts on being published

Hello all. i just wanted to share a card with you and share good news.

I was published in the recent Just Cards Summer issue.  My card is in the first section called Just Because. I think the World of you. I used Stampendous stamps. I love the Changito stamps. The kneehugger is so cute. you can color it so many ways.
I did direct to paper method to the mat. its a fun way to make background paper.

I would like to share this card with you today

I used red cardstock from Core d'nations to make a 5 inch square card.

Basic grey papers for the pattern papers. I got some craft tape from Micheals.

The stamps are Paper Smooches- healthy vibes set. I colored the cups with Distress Ink Markers.

I love how this card came out. Its so colorful and cheery.

Thanks for stopping today.

looking for hot days

well we are suppose to get some hot days in the next few. like 95 each day. i know i will be in the air conditioned living room, stamping and coloring images. that is a cool thing to do.

i did this card, hopefully to send for the troops. i love the paper smooches stamps. they stamp so well. i wanted to do a boys type card. the colors lend well to this style.
ever see a blue alien? i haven't lol. all the ones that i have seen on cards are yellow or green. I sent a batch of cards out to Operation Write home. i will do another later this week.
thanks for stopping by.

lulu love poppies

Hello all. I love having a day off. I have weird vacation at work. So i had to use up some days before our vacation renews. I decided to make some three day weekend. for the month of June. Love it. It is suppose to be a warm day. I love days off. I can do the little things i wanted to do, but not be rushed to do them.  I got to spend alittle time with my nephew before he is off to school.

I have been getting some of my card making supplies organized. well this is a chore. I have to purge the stash. I guess i will be making a donation somewhere. I might be able to stamp and get some cards ready to mail.

i got this stamp from my local stamp store. Stamping and Scraping Time. They get in some really nice things. This Stamp is Lulu loves Poppies by Stamping Bella.

I colored the image with a mix of Copic and Faber castell markers. I was just getting some colors of papers together to try. I want to do a bunch of cards with this image. She is so pretty, and i found out that poppies come in more colors than red. i can't wait to try then in blue.

Well have a great day. Stay crafty!
