MMM On A Budget

Happy Monday! I am ready to start the new week after yesterdays upset with the Colts. I am not surprised, just dissapointed. Manning will get back into a rhythm and things will be back to normal soon. Till then lets talk mice... lol

This weeks challenge on House Mouse and Friends was On A Budget. To make a card that cost less than $2.00 not counting paper, inks, or stamps. This is perfect for me this year, because I spent way too much on postage last year. This year I need to either mail fewer cards or have the postage cost less per card.

This card was not expensive to make. The ribbon was two pieces from the bin so lets say .05 to be on the high side. The jewels are .01 each so .04 total. The sparkle is not even counted seriously but for name sake how about .05 cents. And that is it. Maybe .15 cents total.

Not bad and I used one of my new house mouse stamps. This stamp can go a lot of directions if you aren't worried about cost. I have a few ideas that I will have to work on later with this one. For those *hand* delivered cards. hee hee So come play with us and lets see what you got. Make sure to check out the other DT cards with the link above.

Hope you all have a wonderful week! Stacy

Christmas on a budget

Last year I made about 75 cards and spent about $45 on postage for those cards. This year DH told me to either mail less or make it cost less for postage. LOL So the theme of these cards is beautiful but small postage. haha

I got my new Flourishes stamps yesterday that I had won in the drawing for Sept. I am sure Jan Marie will cringe if I win anything again, I caused some confusion for her. haha Hopefully she won't hold that against me. Flourishes is having blog candy on their Newsletter be sure to check it out if you own Flourish stamps!

I love this Angel and the set has so many options to it. I really like how these turned out and hope you do too. If you want to see the scoring better or a closer look just click on each picture. Make sure to check back Monday for another Monday Mouse Madness challenge. Have a wonderful Saturday!

Birthday Daisy

Good morning! Today is the first day of my time with Sketches by Tamara design team. YEA! Here is the card I made using the sketch this week. So fun and you can use up all those small scraps you have been saving forever. lol This is sketch #60.

I like the springy colors. This flower is from a new set from Gina K called Flowers for Daisy. Its a wonderful set and I like the scriptures that come in the set also.

I hope you can all find sometime to stamp today. Check out the other DT cards, they are wonderful! have a blessed day!

Manning my HERO

I bet you thought I meant Peyton.... well this card is for Eli. Why is Eli my hero, well he was able to beat the Patriots in the Super bowl last year. Talk about a big upset for the Patriots, but a great day in NFL history. In my humble opinion. bawahahaha! Everyone has so much to say about the Patriots and how great they are. Well it just goes to show you that any given Sunday anyone can be the hero.

I am sending this card to my wonderful friend Angel's DH who is a big Giants fan and they were the first phone call I made after last years super bowl win. Here is to another great year!

Make sure you check out the first game of the regular season Thursday night! Giants are playing and lets see what they got this year.

MMM Moonlight Snuggle

Happy Monday! I hope you all have enjoyed the long weekend. We got in late last night and I was exhausted. Well today I have a little snuggle for you with these adorable guys. I like them all snuggled up close. I tried a new incolor Kiwi kiss. I like it a lot! So try using the new color Kiwi Kiss and make sure you put TWNHPY in the search on SCS so I can see your card.
