MY First House Mouse

Yes, I finally have my very first House Mouse stamp, and of course it involves food! I was very intimidated by these stamps. I was fearful of the coloring! I colored this image with Stampin Up markers, and I think it turned out well for my first try! I "painted" the frosting with Stickles just to make it interesting. When I was all done, I took this picture, and then sent this card off to my dear friend Emma! She is a wonderful friend and I am thankful!

Live Life Like You Mean It


What an adventure life can be! The last few months have been crazy, and there has barely been a moment to stamp! And to add to my lack of stamping time, we had a leak in the basement, so I had to disassemble my stamp room. This also meant moving all the Breyer horses off the wall! That was not fun!

When I finally had the room put back together, a story in itself, I made a card! Woohoo!

I Can Create!

While shopping at my favorite craft store, Crafts2000, I found a heck of a deal on the Sizzix Scallop Card! It was on sale, and then I got another discount at the register! So, I had to take it home and play!

I took part in the SCS Michigan Mingle Secret Turkey exchange. One of the cards had to be a hand made turkey card. I had no idea how to make a turkey, at least with out tracing my hand! I really stepped out of the box this time. I used my Stampin Up Designer Series paper and a few punches I hadn't used. This was a fun card make. I just have to find properly fitting envelopes, because the card isn't the "normal" size.

The Michigan Mini Mingle

This fall, I met with my stamping friends in DeWitt. I love meeting with my fellow Michiganders, and fun is always to be had! I drove with my favorite English firend, Emma, and there is sure to never be a dull moment with Emma!

One the projects for the Mini Mingle was a name tag. I fretted for months, but finally came up with a sketch, and when it came time to create the tag, I flew my the seat of my pants! And here it is:
What's most fun, in my opinion, is the tags! I made shrinky dink tags for each of the Mingles I have attended, and I can add more tags as I go!

My tag tied for second place. Mary one first place with her awesome waterfall tag! Great job, Mary. Tag three is coming in March 2009!
