Make It Monday Layered Vellum



Guess what's inside!

 This weeks video is by Melissa’s 


  I so…. should not be posting anything today. Like everyone else I have so much to do. But... oh well, I just decided to make some time to craft today. This little treat box will go on top of a shower gift for my daughter. Cant wait, soon I will be holding my 12th grandchild. Talk about blessings . This one will just lives down the street from us so I will get to see her often. The other ones are about an hour away , not too bad!
snowflake die is from StampingUp. Ribbon and paper is from craft store. You can see a bit 
that I also used a die in the center, but covered it up because it was too hard to place the snow
flake on the side. I added the tiny little socks and It will go on top of the gift. 


Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in America! 
 Happy weekend to all .
God Bless you!

November, Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party



GRATITUDE,
for the many blessing we are given.  

You can almost see the chicken wire embossing on the black.

The color is off but you can see the chicken wire.



Good Morning! Welcome to the Waltzingmouse last blog party of 2012!
I started out wanting this card to be a bit vintage, and a bit farm like , and have a bit of elegance.
I guess I would say it just ended up being…ECLECTIC!
 I hope you have a nice weekend.
Thanks for stopping by!

 Stamps : Waltzingmouse Vintage Garden - Produce
Paper: Papertrey Ink

ColourQ and CAS-UAL Fridays



 I love the detail on the Vintage Garden - Produce
from Waltzingmouse Stamps




CFC78- Create a Clean And Simple project that has something torn on it.
Tear that cardstock, designer paper or even felt. Get creative and tear it up :)



  When I saw this card was going to be very clean and simple I decided to tear it up a  bit ...and enter
 it into the CASual Fridays challenge. 
 I used the colors given from colourQ challenge #163… . I even got my turquoise in by coloring a pearl with my Copic marker.   
I used my carrot stamp Vintage Garden - Produce from Waltzingmouse Stamps . I blocked off the bottom part of the stamp to make it green then re-stamped with deep orange. The sentiment is from Penny Black. All paper is from Papertrey Ink.
Thank you! 
                            May God Bless You!

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge


 I love this little candy-wagon from Waltzingmouse Stamps

 The beautiful sketch this week is from Lenet Mos
 As you can see I turned my sketch. I am using the
wheel as my button.


 This picture shows the embossing . 



 Hope you all had a nice weekend. We finally got some cold weather here and it was gorgeous outside.
 I put up the living room tree , I know its early but … only has the lights on for now. Not sure if I will decorate it now or wait until after Thanksgiving. 

I think the little Candy Wagon is going to be so versatile, cant wait to do it up in pink
 with candy. I know I  will be making many candy tags, to along with all the candy I make.  
I took the Thanksgiving from Joins Us and happy from  Say it Loud to make the sentiment.
 I hand cut the awning and the cart, adhered with foam tape 

 Thank you for stopping by.

Stamps: Waltzingmouse; Candy Wagon , Join Us  and Say it Loud
Paper : Papertrey Ink and My Minds Eye
Dies: Lil Inkers Design Flag Banner. Papertrey Ink sm Scallop. Poppystamps  Ivy Tendrils. and  Wplus 9 Pretty Patches
Twine is reused from  a package.


 This picture was taken on our way home, I love  it when we see clouds.
See, not much color change yet… soon though!

Make It Monday




A quick post for the MIM I will come back with details. Sorry!

 Not too sure if my sentiment makes sense but I wanted to use this die 
 I used glossy accents on the sentiment. I sure wish I would have bought the pinecone stamp and dies.
 Well, I think I am trying to make my flower look a bit pinecone…y , kinda turned out to look 
 like a cluster of walnuts. 
And then you always have to add some pearls to a cluster of walnuts or pinecones…. lol.
 I like the way the card looks but somethings are just OFF 
Everything is Papertrey Ink. 

Have to run I will list the supplies later.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

Seems I have been making a lot of cards
with a bow on  top . Just following the sketch!

 This weeks beautiful sketch is by Renee Lynch


Thought I would show you the different lighting.

 I think it might be time for me to get some kind of light box


 Hi, sorry second card for today. I just needed to make time to craft. Have to keep busy. Had a few distraction one was a fire in the mountains near by, pretty sure it's out now.  It's warm and breezy here.  I feel bad for those of you who are so cold and without heat.

 I couldn't wait to make a card with the sketch from Renee Lynch, such a sweetheart! The Waltzingmouse stamps I use on the card are Join Us and for the background stamp I used My Island
The M is from Papertrey Ink . I masked off part of the stamp to give it a round look.

This card  can go to any  one of my sisters or sister in law. We are all Mary…something and all one word, even my SIL.  All the paper is from Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream and Kraft.  Papertrey Ink - Filigree Border Die and Mat Stack 3. 

Many Blessings to you all!

Good morning!  I am finding it very hard to concentrate this morning, but I am trying. Hopefully I will be better Tuesday night. I have to be honest I made two other cards for this and I am only posting this one, I think!  I cut strips of paper then embossed them with some old Cuttlebug folders.  Added this bow, from ribbon I bought at Hobby Lobby. Die is from Spellbinders  and stamp is from Paper Inspirations. 
Congratulations Jeanne and  Maureen

October 12 Kits of Christmas


 We decided to post a few day late due to the storm. 
You are all in my prayers  and thoughts!


 Welcome to the 12 Kits of Christmas! If you are
 new to this post please HERE
Our wonderful and very fun host of this month is 
Jessica: The Paper Parade Jessica is also on
 the Design Team at Paper Smooches Sparks.
Thank you so much Jessica, I had so much fun!

 This is what was in our wonderful kit!
Im so bad I cant even remember who ended up
Taking the photo this month!

Girls, I will be gone all day and cant wait to see what you have made when I get back.

Be Jolly
 I love this one. I embossed using the Lil Inkers frame

Santa
I am in need of many tags, so I made quite a few and even saved ( hoarded) some paper 
to make some more. 

I used score tape adhered the strips of paper then cut the tag. 

  I just loved this striped paper

 Love this tag die from Papertrey Ink too!

Isn't he just too cute!


All I had to do on this one was punch a hole, add the ribbon
and a bit of bling. I also put a sentiment that Jessica made
on the back of this tag.

This one was going to be a full sized card, then I messed up and 
turned it into a tag. Not a bad save….. hey!

Thank you again Jessica for such a fun and beautiful kit!
 Thank you!  Please stop by and see what the other have made with the same kit.


12 KITS OF CHRISTMAS

Happy Birthday Jeanne


Happy Birthday Jeanne!






 Well, we don't know for sure when Jeanne’s Birthday is.  Jeanne likes to give and do for 
others and never wants any credit for what she does .  So, Jeanne’s good friend Cathy: EmptyNestCrafter  found out that her birthday is in November. Looks like we will have it covered that way. Cathy is hosting the birthday blog hop for,
 Jeanne: AKeptLife. Thank you Cathy.
I got to know Jeanne from our 12 Kits of Christmas. I enjoy our email talks and have gotten to know her pretty well.  She is as sweet as the gorgeous cards she makes . Jeanne is on a lot of Design Teams and I am sure wanted by many more. She is also a cover girl! 
Jeanne makes such elegant… fancy... cards,  I knew her card had to have some bling to it. The paper I used is quite glittery, I  figured maybe that would be enough. I kept the bow simple because I felt the paper had enough going on.  This is not a typical Jeanne bow.  Enjoy your birthday Blog hop!
Happy Birthday !
