Pullin' out the Dusty Stamps!

My husband's boss and his wife just became first time grandparents this weekend. They had a new baby grandson who weighed in at 9lbs 12 oz!! Can you imagine? I thought mine were big at 8 lbs 10 oz! And their daughter is just a bitty thing....so go figure! Anyway, I wanted to make them a card to congratulate them, so I pulled out this old House Mouse stamp. I used to collect these stamps and have quite a few. Then the stamping industry got so big, and I collected so many other stamps, that these have been neglected! I thought it was high time they see a bit of love.

I used my Copics, Nestibilities, and some Basic Grey paper. The sentiment is by Endless Creations, Inc. (Another old stamp of mine!) Since the image was large, I couldn't do much with the background, so instead I added some glitter to the edges of the image. I also used some Papertrey Ribbon and buttons for a finishing touch.

I am hoping that this works for a new grandparents card!
I so appreciate all of your well wishes! Cort and I are still sick, but doing a bit better. She is still on her antibiotic and nebulizer. I hope I can send her to school tomorrow. We will see how she is in the morning.
Have a great Sunday evening!

House Mouse Card in the House!


I have been seeing some really cute cards lately using the House Mouse stamps. I decided to dust them off and give them some new life! I colored this cutie in with my Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol. I added flock to his body...minus the feet and tail! Then I applied some pink chalk to his cheeks! He looks pretty satisfied with himself doesn't he? The paper is by Around the Block and Bo Bunny. I got really creative....I'm being a bit sarcastic....and stamped a strawberry on Shrinky Dink paper! I used the Staz On ink in red and green, punched a whole and baked! Love when it shrinks...as a matter of fact I put my oven light on and WATCHED it! (I know, I REALLY need a life!) It's the little things that make me happy! I strung that sweet strawberry on my ribbon. The Amore is from Making Memories.
I will be posting the blog candy winner sometime Friday afternoon! So check back!
Thanks again for all your kind complements!
