A very mice day

Good morning. How was your weekend? Hopefully relaxing and enjoyable. Today just a quick card with a House Mouse and some scraps I had left from a previous card and similar elements. This is called Poppy Cot and one of my favorites. He is stamped on white card stock and colored with Copic Markers. My background has some swiss dots texture added and a piece of the left over gingham paper. Voila!
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Yes, I went with Tulips again. I am telling you Tulip AA is calling my name.  :-)  These tulips are from Dynamic Duos that are stamped on white card stock and colored with Copic Markers. This did not turn out quite like I thought it would, but I sorta do like this version. The green really makes me think I should of used a lighter shade, but its not to bad. Right?  Added some enamel dots and a ribbon bow. Voila!

I have this rose stamped a few along the edge of white card stock that is die cut with an edge. I have the roses colored with Copic markers and then layered on some crimson card stock.

The last few days of school... the excitement is in the air, can you smell it? Well my boys can and they are ready!!! This card is actually for a friend who I know could use a smile this week. This House Mouse stamp is called Everything Is Coming Up Roses that I stamped onto white card stock. They are colored with Copic markers. Used one of my all time favorite Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles for the base shape. Added some ribbon and lace trim and a few jewels. The feet are stamped on the envelope you see and the inside of the card. hee hee  Thanks for stopping in today. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Wild Country Match

This weekend the boys competed in a larger match than normal round count called Wild Country in LaGrande. They did awesome! We are so proud of them. They had a blast and did wonderful. Some of you asked what a "match" is when I mention it so I thought I would share a video of one stage for each of the boys.

 They compete on the Jr. team this year and already are starting out awesome. 

 

   

 Yes those swingers are harder to hit than you would think. They did fabulous on the steel targets as well. Long weekend in the sun but worth both days of fun! We are just so proud of them! And a little side joy is my husband placed 1st place in Open A class! Whohoo!!!   Thanks for stopping by today! 

FS383 A Swingin day

This weeks Featured Stamper 383 is Elaine aka Happy Heart. A darling gallery with creations for the little ones and a few of us older ones. I couldn't help but giggle as I went through Elaine's gallery. Several that I wanted to case but I kept coming back to the first one that I liked called Darn It!  I kept the colors, a young boy image and the layout with buttons. Changed the stamp, colors of ribbon and skewed my image panel and left off the sentiment.

I had bought this image called Swing Me A Story Max and just now have finally used it. Yea!  He is printed on white card stock and colored with Copic markers. Layered my ribbon with some red gingham that has been sitting here for ages onto some blue seam binding. Added my buttons and voila!  I hope you get to play along with us this week. Have a wonderful day.
