Okay Enough!!

This is what we awoke to this morning!

Luckily, most of the trees out here are still fairly new and bendable. Others in the older areas were not so lucky. There was some major tree damage done by this snow. There was one area that people could not get out of this morning due to broken tree limbs on the streets! It is melting now. At least we won't have to water the grass for awhile. ;0)

Since it is Christmas like around here, I thought I would share my final Holiday House Mouse card with you all. I don't actually have these mailed yet...hopefully I don't ruin it for anyone, but I have nothing else new to share with you right now.

You can't tell by the pic on this one, but the red panels I put through my Cuttlebug with the Snowflake embossing folder. I am quite happy with this one. And I got to try out my new Prisma Pencils too!! I am quite enjoying them.

Thanks for stoppin' by and I hope that you are enjoying a much nicer day than we are here in Snowy Calgary!!

New Look!

Decided to play around with my blog today. What do you think of the new look? I really want to know what you think...

Check it out!!

Head on over to Scor-Pal. Diana has added some great new box tutorials! I will be trying out Diana's Starbox...is that not cool or what?? And much more fun when you have a Scor-pal!! ;0)

More Holiday House Mouse

What a weekend around here! I should say what a crappy weekend around here! Lots of cloudy, windy, rainy and snowy stuff!! Oh well...it's Calgary, what can I say?

Worked a little on my Holiday House Mouse swaps again this week. I don't know why I struggled so much with this one. Here is another idea I came up with...although I did 'finally' come up with 'the' one! This is not it...I will share the final one with ya tomorrow ;0)

This one was inspired by a card sketch challenge from SCS(SplitCoast Stampers). You can find the challenge here. I really like this sketch. I am sure I will use this one again.

Well, I am off to finish my House Mouse swap and get it into the mail today!

Thanks for stoppin' by :0)

Holiday House Mouse creators block...

Just thought I would show you what I have been working on. I had this great idea in my head, but of course once I carried out the plan I was not thrilled with it. Then tried to change it up...and still not thrilled with it. Here are the two that I came up with lastnight...

I know that these are very untraditional Christmas colors, but I wanted something different. But maybe it's too different. I have one more idea that I will try tonight and make my decision on which one will be my swap card. But first! I must go down and organize my stamp room. I think part of my problem lastnight is that my table was such a mess!! When I stamp I end up taking out almost everything I own!! I need to set up my room in a more organized fashion. What I really need is a 'station' for cutting and scoring and then I would have more room on my table for working. Okay...I am off to organized...wish me luck ;0)

Another Hubby Creation!

First off I just want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments on hubby's painting. He has actually been painting for quite sometime now...can't really remember how long exactly. He just started doing the acrylic flowers this year. He does mainly landscape oils. I am 'really' trying to get him to start up a blog of his own...any encouragement would be greatly appreciated ;0)


Here is one of his creations for you...this one he just did for his Mum for Mother's Day/Birthday. She had found a picture of a print she liked and emailed it to him and asked for it for her bday. It looks much better in real life! And on my wall!! ;0)

Thanks for stoppin' by and I hope to have something new for you soon! Everything I am working on right now is for swaps and I don't really want to spoil it for anyone...but I might anyway ;0)

Another one of Hubby's creations!

Just thought I would share my hubby's newest creation with you all. He painted the girls dressers this past week. What do ya think?
