House Mouse Shaker Birthday Card: Eat Cake



I have be virtual cropping with local ladies each weekend and this is the card I made due to the Bingo card!!
No photo description available.
I played the diagonal line from upper left to lower right: Beads, Stamped image, Free Space, 3 different pattern papers, Buttons. The buttons and beads are on the inside of the shaker so as to fulfill that in one fell swoop! Yay! Also, I had to start with nothing done ahead of time and that's why my MISTI is there to show I had everything prior to the crop challenge. The other card under the Misti pic on the left was one that was done during so that they knew I hadn't done it ahead. Boy to I have more mojo when someone tells me to do certain criteria. Hope you enjoy it and are staying safe and well!!

Waffle Flower Multiple cards Using my MISTI




I was wanting to send happy messages to many friends I am not able to see in person, so used my MISTI tool to do multiples of where the sentiment would be as well as the cute Waffle Flower Be Her animals. Did more of the animals for other cards yet to post. Made this simple card design so as to stamp first and then line up the pattern papers later. Did multiple stamping on a scrap of black cardstock to make the "Have a" and "day" as well. A MISTI really comes in handy to make many cards at once!
Waffle Flower just celebrated their 6th anniversary or birthday and I am so fond of their images!! Wish I could play all day long with all of their fun images! Hope this inspires you to #spreadjoynotgerms #thedailymarkerchallenge30day #stayhomestaysafe

Altenew April 2020 Inspiration Challenge






This was the Altenew April inspiration and I wanted to use not only the colors but also the circular motion of the lei around the gray rocks. I used Platinum embossing powder to mimic their colors and shine. I tried to also match the pinks and lighter coral shades of the lei with the white left for the leaves. Hope you enjoy the card.

I used Altenew 3D Garden Picks flower and Fancy Frames Stamp and die Set for this card. The sentiment is from The Beautiful Day stamp set. The paper is Altenew Reflection collection in 6x6.

Am entering it in the following Challenges:

Double D challenges- the doily is like the umbrellas, and the flowers with the white leaves like the picture.

Waffle Flower Be Her Cat Card


Using Waffle Flower Be Her Stamp and die set combo with Waffle Flower In Every Way sentiment stamp set I enjoyed making this card to make someone have a better day by sending it to them. Using just what was on my table and not wanting to go make it just cardstocks, I made the sky for the background. Hope you enjoy it and it makes you have an amazing day as well!
Supplies as listed above as well as Copic Markers, Broken China Distress Oxides blended for the sky, White embossing powder, and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Eclectic Fancy Pants Layout



Well, these are old, old papers I've had for years that were crying out to use. I'm calling this an ECLECTIC layout due to the crazy papers from the good old Fancy Pants collection called Sweet Spring by Jackie Eckles from 2007!! I had these all together from a Scraptique Page Kit but used it in a whole different way.

Pictures of a girlfriend retreat on Daytona Beach. Unfortunately didn't take too many pics but had a blast!!
