WaltzingMouse Stamps Blog Hop

Wow...can't believe I actually finished this card! This is my very first blog hop for WM...actually my one and only blog hop for any stamp company. *grin*
Claire was so kind to post a download of WM images for those of us who haven't ordered her stamps as of yet. Thank you, Claire!
I did purchase her Celtic Lunettes patterned digi paper and I love the ease of ordering and printing.


I decided to color the shamrock image with my SU! watercolor crayons...love these! The Irish hankie that the shamrocks are wrapped was colored in a light cream to kinda replicate Irish linen. Not sure how well it shows. I chalked the edge of the oval that was cut/embossed with my Cuttlebug for just a bit of dimension.
The Irish Blessings was printed on vellum and added to the card with two gold brads. The green ribbon is PTI.
I'm quite please with how this card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Family Valentine Cards

I finally finished and mailed off my Valentin's Day cards today. Some may come a bit late. Sorry .... life just gets in the way sometimes.
All the cards today are from the AMuse Love/Valentine's collection. I am so addicted to AMuse these days and went totally overboard with AMuse shopping lately. Partially because we have a new scrapbooking/stamping store here in the Phoenix area. It's only been opened two weeks now and I have shopped at CropGirls three times already. Yikes...talk about being addicted. *grin* Plus I have ordered online from AMuse. So much for being on a budget lately.

Here are the family Valentine cards....all stamps are AMuse.




Sorry about the poor quality scan...scanner still acting a bit wonky. And I was just too lazy to set up with my digital camera.
Not sure if it shows up but I used the plain oval Nestie as a frame around each stamped image. IRL it looks pretty nice. I colored the soda and sunday images with my Glaze embossing pens and also used stickles...really adds the sparkle. I added an AMuse Mini dots twinkle stickers for the cherry on top of the ice cream.
For the chocolate I used my prisma pencils to color the image. I just love the new sentiment..."I love you more than..." Just so sweet!

I'm working on teacher gifts for my grandsons to give tomorrow. Will post those tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Day Card

I have been busy this week making Valentine Day cards. Unfortunately my scanner has been acting up and acting kinda funky. So please excuse these weird scans.


This cute little card is for my Grand daughter Melanie. She is eight months old today and sooo adorable. I miss her...she live in Reno and I'm in Phoenix. *sigh*

This card was inspired by a card Jennifer posted on her blog. I also was inspired by Rose Ann of Paper Delightz for the shape/design of this card. Make sure you stop by their blog for some great inspiration! Both of these ladies are super talented.
I wanted to used my new heart nesties and this little mousie was just wanting to be inked.
And anyone who knows me .... knows I hate mice! *shiver* But this little guy is cute. He's from the SU! set Happy Heart Day.

Thanks for stopping by!
