House Mouse- AG or Spring Flowers

The New House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge is up!  Our talented DT team member Sue Kment is out hostess. Our challenge is always Anything Goes OR Spring Flowers.

The option of Spring flowers appealed to me, so I went into my stash and found this sweet stamp. This image is, "Rose Play, Amanda, Muzzy and Friends". 

 The image is colored using Copic markers, and the sketch is CASE'd from a card on Pinterest. The die cut is MFT. 

For the challenge, we are Sponsored by Simon Says Stamps

and the winner will receive a RANDOM ASSORTMENT of Premium Dye Ink Pads

I hope you will join on at The House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #434

For a fellow card maker

We have a fellow card maker over at Splitcoaststampers who is in need of cards- specifically Birthday cards.  

 I am continuing my challenge to self to Use my Stash..... so I made cards for her that are CAS and flat to mail, so only 1 stamp will be needed for mailing.  

This DP does not have the front cover on it anymore, but the price tag is Tuesday Morning- which left our area.... years ago....  I sure like it still... and think it coordinates well too.  

The Birthday sentiment is with a group of digital Birthday images I keep together and not labeled..  I used a punch (Stampin Up)  for the sentiment and a die cut (Memory Box) for the backing circle.  

  

 A CAS card for me, I punched circles from the same DP and just arranged them, added a sentiment by Hero Arts. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Valentines Day

A group of crafty ladies are challenging each other to get out stamp sets that have NOT been used, and get some ink on them!  

So, I decided to use a set from Pretty Pink Posh called the Love Stamp Set.

I inked it up and colored using SU markers and Copics. The set comes with all of the fun images I used on the background as well. 

 And, there you have it- another set out of that unloved and un-inked rhelm.....!

This is a monthly challenge that Barb came up with..... to be posted on the 6th with a group of friends from Barb's No Foolin' Retreat ( which happens each April in Wisconsin- at the Gather House).  Some of us post on blogs,  which are noted below.  Those that participate each month will send a picture in the text thread we have between us, showing our creation.  The premise is to use a stamp set, stencil die, hot foil plate or press plate that is new and has never been used.  So--Unused No More!
