Thinking Of You

Good morning, I am sharing my card that is up on the Waltzingmouse Blog, I have used the sweet sketch from Lucy's Blog. I have combined three of the Waltzingmouse Stamp sets, I adore the background stamp called Zig Zag Background. I have used it for the background stamp on the tag, super sweet! I used the utter adorable flower from the set Funky Flowersisn't it cute? I fussy cut it to make the ends a little more jagged. Added the perfect sized sentiment from the set Country Labels 14, all of these sets combined make for a sweeeeet card!

Mojo Monday/MOJO330-Come To Me


Good morning, we have some exciting news to share over at the Mojo Monday Blog, instead of circle or square week the last Monday of the month, we are creating Tall & skinny...woohoo...who doesn't want to be tall & skinny?...teehehehe. I use 12 x 12 card stock to get an extra 1/2" of skinny, I then use a regular business sized envelope for mailing. I have used the scripture stamp from Verve from the set Scripture Melody 1. I used gemstones, enamel dots, and stick pins to embellish my card. We cannot wait to see what you do with the tall & skinny challenge...sparkle & shine!
