My First House Mouse!!!

Happy Monday!! I just had to share my very first House Mouse!! I have always loved these little mice, but have always been intimidated by them. I wasn't sure that I could color them to look right. I think I did okay. What do you think?? (Be gentle!) I think they are so cute!

I colored this sweet little mouse with my Prismacolors and OMS. I used Cloud Nine Valentine papers and Bazzill cardstock. The camera is not showing the embossed hearts on the patterned paper, but they are cute!. I used Martha Stewart punches "love" and "hearts" for my sentiment. I used Stickles on the heart for a little sparkle. I'm sorry the carmera is not picking up on the sparkle. One of these days, I will figure this thing out completly. LOL I also managed to make this from the Splitcoast sketch SC212. Yea, I did a sketch challenge!! I'm so proud of myself!

I hope you like my card and I really appreciate you stopping by to take a peek. Please come back and see what I'm up to tomorrow!! Have a great day!

A Simple Baby Welcome

Hi everyone! This will be a quick post. Today is just a simple little welcome baby card that I made a while back, but haven't posted. Sometimes you don't need a lot of embellishment to make a cute, sweet card. I used my Prismacolor pencils and OMS to color in my image. This is an Imaginisce stamp (giraffe). I'm sorry but I cannot remember whose stamps the little images are from. Maybe Stampendous?? The sentiment is an A Muse Artstamp.

I punched out my stamped image with an oval scalloped Marvy Uchida punch and the green mat with my Coluzzle. I ran the green piece through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder for some texture. I popped the giraffe oval and the sentiment up on pop dots for added dimension. I used those cute little button brads from Making Memories on the sentiment block. I attached a strip of brown grosgrain ribbon across the front of the card.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of white cardstock and stamped a little baby bib in the corner and colored it with my Prismas and OMS. So cute and quick!

I hope you like my simple little card and come back soon to see what I'm up to next. I really appreciate you stopping by to look at my work, it means a lot. See you soon!!
