Take Two of These, And...


You know the rest! I'm on a roll with the House Mouse stamps! I have a couple more to go, and then I'm going to offer a House Mouse image swap. Several of you said that you had some of these stamps, and I thought that we could "share the love", and trade some images, since there are so many of them. Let me know if you're interested, and once I've made cards with the other two, you can just check my House Mouse label on my side bar to see which images I have.

Now for the card... I was trying to expand my "layout" horizons with this. That is the hardest part for me. I know that there are plenty of wonderful sketches out there (ie., Beate, Amy, SCS), but I like to have cards that are "just mine" once in a while! I've been trying to submit more cards, and I can't do that if I've CASED a layout. KWIM???

Anywho, I used some yummy Crate Paper for this, and took colors from those papers. I used my Giga and Mega punches for the card corner accents, trying to take advantage of more papers. For the main image photo corner, I cut two 1in squares, folded them in half, and trimmed off the corners. (I know that AmyR did a tutorial on photo corners, but I didn't read it, so this may be old information to you!) Lastly, I added my super yummy May Arts ribbon, that I got from Jacksonbelle Embellishments. (You've got to check out Lindsey's store - AWESOME service!)

Happy Monday, and I'll be back soon!

  2. Awwww, this is so cute!!! Isn't it amazing how someone can create a cartoon version of a mouse, and we all think it is so cute. Then the real thing comes along...and they aren't too cute anymore!! :-)

  13. Alright, girl, you are about wearing me down on these house mouse stamps! I am about ready to go and buy some myself. Are they hard to color. You make it look easy, but will I be able to make them look as good as you do, that is the question! You are on fire! Your cards are outstanding!
