House Mouse Challenge Hearts

The House Mouse Challenge was hearts but I didn't feel like doing a card. Somewhere I have Valentine's Day cards I made last year stashed. So I decided to hunt for my heart shaped tins that I've kept for a few years now.



I decided to use some decoupage tissue in gold.


Getting all the edges


Drying on top of Granny's old sewing machine, while I fix up the front.


For the Front I stamped House Mouse Lilac Bouquet onto plain white cardstock in black Stayz On. I cut it out using Fiskars Shape Express 5 inch heart. I trimmed around the image so the background L would show. I colored it in with Pebbles Inc. I Kan' dee Pearlescent and Regular chalks. The Purple Heart is made from Core'dinations white wash cardstock, embossed with Cuttlebug alpha and sanded with Tim Holtz block sander (I <3 that sander) I attached the hearts with glue dots and then attached it to the still drying tin with some Glue Arts cut it yourself foam squares. I <3 those too because you can cut them to size so you don't have to use a bazzilion squares to stick something big down.



A close up so you can see the shine of the chalks. I did the background in white so some of the purple picked up on the bottom but eh whatcha gonna do.


And now this crafter is missing her hockey game! I hope you enjoyed my tin.

House Mouse and Dirty Scraps

House Mouse Blog Hop and Challenge to do a goodbye card. I thought of making my friend a card who's going on vak and I'm taking care of the dog. She gave me these cool papers and ribbons so I decided to use those and grabbed my mouse and camera stamp. I used a Becky Fleck Card Map March 2010.



Next up a 2 page 8.5X11 LO for Dirty Scraps Serenity Challenge. Usually I take a walk on the Greenway because it's more peacefull to look at than my neighboorhood. However on my Birthday they were doing a clean up so I went for an hour to help. I made myself a little sticker too. On the clean up I met a turtle. While resting there was a bug and a ladybug so I put some thickers around them or pointing to them so you can see them in the picture. I inked the circle aroudn the turtle with Brick Red Distress Ink and the other two I used cranberry alchol ink. I used Cosmo Cricket Get Campy for the papers, flowers and ribbon were from my friend and I used my Glue Arts ribbon adehesive for the green ribbon. The green dots are Peeled Paint Distress Stickles. Double Page Map from Becky Fleck that I turned to do a top to bottom LO.

3rd post for the day! And a card!

I did a card for another Becky Fleck Challenge! I changed the orintation of the card and used the Colorbok Woodhaven papers that I won off their survery. I sprayed the paper with my minimister w/some perfect pearls added in. The House Mouse Stamp I colored in with my pearlescent chalks. The border punch is Fiskars scalloped edge. Thanks to the Fiskars site for posting NSD vids thanks to Leah and Joanna I learned how to tie the bow I used ;) I also did the inside of the card :D This will be nice to send someone on a rainy day but right now it's beautiful outside so I'm going to go for a walk. Lets see if I can drag hubby out!

Dirty Scraps Challenge #2 and card

I finally finished a card with a faux grid I made by scoring lines on the paper and then filing to show them up. Yes I used PINK! It's a b-day card so it's not for me ;) This was for the House Mouse Challenge.


For the #2 Dirty Scraps challenge. To scrapbook a pivotal point in your life. So I chose my parent's house. I didn't have a photo of the front so I had to get a Google Map shot! Funny enough my car is the red one in the drive way. The other photos are from my 20th B-day of my friends and one pic has Steve. The papers are Cosmo Cricket and I used thickers for my letters. Thanks to @sarahei for picking number 4 and helping me decide on the Cosmo Cricket ;) The letters are Thickers and the punch says Susan something I can't read because the clearance sticker won't come off ;) I used a Page Map from Jan 2010.

Journaling reads In the 5th grade my family decided to move from our little house on 4th ave. We went house hunting and toured several homes. The 1 I liked best had a basement room for me and lots of stairs. Mom didn't like the stairs so we moved to this home. This home decided my school zone which would have been differnt in the other home. Int he other house I may have never taken Drama or Child development. I wouldn't meet the friends tha would become C.A.S.C and take me to Laser Tag where I would meet my husband.

Christmas Cards

Wholly cow I actually crafted!

I made some Christmas cards. One I didn't get a picture of but I made it from the Fiskars Monthy card sketch.

This House Mouse one is for their challenge to use nontradtional colors or Christmas paper and I used Cosmo Cricket Campy papers.

The other one is for my friend Donna. I think they are My Mind's Eye papers.
