We've been invaded

The boys and I had some fun and made some Shadow boxed cards. You will see a group photo below with the ones the boys made. They had specific ideas they wanted with theirs.
This is a new set released this month from Clear Dollar Stamps called Lost in Space. I have made a few girl cards with this set so I figured I better work on some boy ones. lol You can find this technique over on SCS here. These fold down flat so you can mail them, but when they get the card they fold out the sides and have a cool card. How fun is that!
Here is our group photo. The card on the left DS insisted that his stars be grouped together and have the ship inside. The one on the left his brother wanted a shooting star on his (bottom right corner hard to see) so he got his white crayon and drew that and a moon in. Creative kids...
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

MMM Black and white film

This weeks House Mouse and friends blog challenge is brought to use by America. She challenges us to no coloring. Yep that's right leave those adorable little mice UNCOLORED. You can use color anywhere else you choose the brads, papers, ribbons etc. but you can't color the image.
Well the only thing that coming to mind when she said no coloring was those first films, TV's and actual film were all black and white. So I went with that and used the photo as one you would see on the film strip. Turned out fun. Hope you can play along with us! Have a blessed day!

In your grocery store and in Flourishes store. lol This is a new set that was just released tonight called Strawberries. Along with this set Beach life and Seaside life were released.
If you played in Flourishes pre-challenge By the Sea be sure to check out the newsletter tomorrow Sat around noon central time for an extra surprise. And trust me you won't want to miss this!
I used some scraps of paper laying around after a few other cards for this one. I like how this turned out! Used some of Flourishes new silver finishing touches for the corner and done.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend!

Now this is a fun card. This set is called Beach life. I made a few of these with different themes. I wear flip flops all summer or I am bare feet. I usually don't wear shoes unless its snowy and the minute I get in the door I kick whatever is on my feet off. haha I like how this turned out. It fits in a legal size envie because its a size 3 kid shoe. I used one of the boys flip flops and traced it onto paper because mine was too big. :0) I sponged some clouds ( still working on those clouds yes) and added a few primas with jewel center. Easy Peasy... Check out the girls creations!

Hats from Space

This is my second post for today. My House Mouse card is below this post. Can you believe this is actually a space ship turned hat? The first time I saw the Lost in Space set from Clear Dollar Stamps I saw a hat with the space ship. How funny is that. hee hee I cut the tip off the top and the bottom part of the ship, paper pieced it onto some scrap dp and added some flowers. I love how this turned out so girly. :0)
Be sure to check back Wed. Sneak Peeks start for July Release from Flourishes. Have a great day.
