Quick Thank You card

Just want to do a quick post tonight. I have been working on lots of things, but can't show you right now. They are for some different swaps I am in. The first being my House Mouse swap. It is done and gone postal. The second one is almost done now too. I joined Laura's ATC(Artist Trading Cards) swap from her blog. I have been meaning to give an ATC a try and this was the perfect opportunity. I have them mostly done now and I am quite happy with them actually. I could see myself doing more...they are kinda fun! I am really excited about my next project too. I was invited to join an 'invite only' Bella swap! I am sooo excited about this one! I actually don't own any Bellas of my own, so I *had* to do an order the other day ;0) So I ordered 'Jammybella' and 'Flowahbella'. I can't wait to get these and start playing. In the mean time I will be playing some more with the Bella RAK's I received from my friend Nancy last week ;0)




Anyway, just thought I would post a pic of a card I made last week...sorry the pic is not all that great. This is a thank you for some blog candy I won. The paper is actually one of my favorite of the many beautiful papers I received. Not sure if she has received it yet and not too sure if she reads my blog, but thanks again Natasha!

Want some pretty Primas???

Go check out Janets blog. She is organizing another great Prima Share. They are just too cute. Wish I could join in this one too, but I just have too much going on right now and not enough cash :0( I still have lots left from the last share though :0)

Another color combo

I decided to try the House Mouse 'Hugs' card again with a new color combo. What do you think of this one?

Here is one more in a different color combo...

I have actually gone with something different for my swap, but it was fun working with this one in different combos. Can't wait to show you my swap cards ;0)

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. Thanks to all those who have sent in their entries...they look awesome! I will be posting some pics this week of the prizes you can win...stay tuned!

Some more House Mouse love!

I was playin' with my House Mouse stamps again the other night. Still trying to come up with something for my swap ;0)



I was not overly thrilled with this one, but hubby REALLY liked it. Although he said that it was the perfect Christmas card...cause of the color scheme. I am not a real lover of Creamy Caramel Cardstock, so maybe I will try this one again with a different color scheme. What do you think?

I've been RAKed!

I was so excited this week to receive my first Blogger RAK's(Random Acts of Kindness). This first one is from Allison. Allison is a one stop shop for all your Blog Candy, Contests and Awesome Tutorials. And of course when she graces us with her awesome creations too!! I love the layout and the DP you used on this one! Thank you so much, Allison!




The second one is from my friend Nancy. Be sure to check out Nancy's awesome blog. She always has something to inspire me! Not only did I recieve this beautiful card, but she included some stamped Bella's for me too! I had mentioned that I would like to try a few first...not too sure if I was really into the whole Bella craze or not. So she sent me 6 of 2 different designs. Of course, I forgot to take pics of them before I colored them! But, I have to say...I love them!!! I will be making a Bella order mighty soon. Thanks Nancy! and watch your mailbox for my first Bella creation ;0)


Thanks again ladies...you made my week!

House Mouse Happiness!

House Mouse. Don't you just love em?? A swap came up today and I had to join. It has been sooooo long since I played with my House Mouse stamps. So tonight I played to see what I could come up with. The photo does not really give it the true love it deserves ;0) I am actually quite happy with it. I love this stamp so much and it is just a nice soft look.

It is late so I am off to bed now...thanks for stoppin' by :0)
