House Mouse Birthday Card in Blue

 Using a card with a die cut space with the cupcake peeking through to the front. The card came with the extra stickers and so I used all of them with my own sentiment and die cut shape out of a matching color. I knew it needed something so added the silver ribbon on the bottom edge. This little House Mouse Birthday mouse really adds a punch! Colored with Copic Markers and added the polka-dots to his hat to match.

Love and Hugs House Mouse Nursing Card

Using my House Mouse Nurse Stamp I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Bright White #110 cardstock with my MISTI! Colored with COPICS. Die cut with Spellbinders Circle die and my Platinum 6. Cut and matted with hot pink cardstock. Using a card in my stash, I added 2 lines of Scrapbook.com 1/8" & 1/4" scrappy tape and then used glitters by Arteza in Rosewood and Rubber Dub Dub in Turquoise to add sparkle. The "love" die is from Reverse Confetti and I only used the first layer. I took the two part heart and dry embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot and the Sizzix Blossoms Embossing folders. The "Hugs" die is from Simon Says Stamp. A lot of love went into this card that is for someone who has come down with COVID yet again. Sending this along to cheer them!

Celebrate Layout

Scrap our Stash January 2022 Sketch

This layout was made to match the sketch and play along with the Scrap Our Stash January sketch challenge. I chose the Basic Grey RSVP collection in my older stash and started pairing the papers. I chose the gray with dots and traced a bowl out for this larger circle. Using the numbers for the vertical part was appropriate because I wanted to scrapbook that my girlfriends and I always meet up at an Orlando restaurant for ALL of our birthdays. It's a fun place and delicious food, as you can see the bread pudding in the picture. The journal says: "Celebrating another birthday at our favorite restaurant together, it's always Tibby's (New Orlean's Restaurant)". The flags and the cupcake chipboard were all apart of this Basic Grey RSVP kit. French Vanilla Bazzill cardstock was used to mat and for the journal strips. The background is Bazzill yellow.

Sketches in Thyme #499

                                                       Scrap Our Stash Challenge Jan. 2022

THE CHALLENGE:

Create a layout using the following "recipe":

ONE word title (Germany)

TWO photos

THREE Embellishment clusters (bird on glass, banner, key with button)

FOUR Patterned Papers (Strip, floral, flower fussy cut, dot)

FIVE sequins (2 by title, 3 in corner)

I really took a long time to make this layout and was inspired by the papers in this Kaiser Craft Kit. They came with just a few papers and I immediately grabbed my scissors and started fussy cutting all of that big roses, bird, glass jar and other pieces out. The strips were the back of the black dot paper so that is why I had to add the floral piece to the side of the layout to use the stripes to make the border I used at the top. The bottom right corner is the leftover piece when you use a border punch and so I used it there. It all came together beautifully and you would never know I didn't have enough papers if I had not told you. The crochet lace is from my stash and I had never used it!!! I matched perfectly! Love when that happens! The photos are of a town called Cochem, Germany and the title is a Jolee sticker. Sequins were also added. Enjoy!
