Fab Five Day 3

Good afternoon! I guess my Fab 5 did not go through this morning...errr...

Well, with Easter around the corner I have been thinking of things to give to the nieces and nephews. So I used the fun clear tubes at the store and filled it with some yummy jelly beans! If you double click and look closely I have little feet going all around the tube where the little mouse has been helping fill the tube.....or maybe taken some to nibble on?

Fab Five Day 2

Good morning! Or maybe I should say "Top of the morning to you!"* For today I did my lucky little four leaf clover mouse. The four leaf clover on the front is made with the left over hearts from a corner punch. I save my shape punches from my border and corner punches and use them as confetti or turn them into something else. Insided it wishes a Happy St. Patricks Day. Did you know each of these mice have thier own names and personalities?

Paper: cardstock and My Mind's Eye (back polka dots/front the other pattern showing)

House Mouse time

This is one of my favorite stamp companies! Not only do they have cute little mice, but rabbits and bears in the collection as well. They have over 500 designs!

Today's card makes me think of the saying "Did you ever have one of those days!" After coloring the card I added a little bit of Crackle Glossy Accents to the card to make the dirt look freshly dug up.

Thanks for looking!

A Fun Weekend

This weekend my friend Melissa came to Eau Claire because we had planned on making some fresh pasta. We usually spend the whole day making a variety of ravioli and cavatelli......yummy! Making them in the winter is the best time because we can spread them out on cookie sheets and are able to freeze them quickly outside. We were both looking forward to a messy, fun, taste testing day in the kitchen. Of course all of the planning and preparation was wasted as the temp outside was too warm and the humidity was high. The poor things would of never froze as quickly as we wanted and probable would of stayed sticky.

But of course we had a back up plan! We had a shopping and crafting weekend instead. I worked on my Fab 5, my Valentine's Day card for my hubby, and gave Melissa a crash course in Copic Markers. She started on her Valentine's Day cards. Some of you may remember Melissa as she use to work at the store.

Melissa's cards came out so nice I had to share them with you. I can't show you my cards yet since they are Fab 5 week creations, but I will give you a hint-House Mouse. That whole line is just so cute!

Thanks for looking and hope to see you soon!

Cute Magnolia stamps

Have you seen the Magnolia stamps in the store? I think they are just so cute and I love to color them with my Copic markers. This is a little cutie I attached to some glitter snowflakes I cut out with Spellbinders. If you double click on the picture it will enlarge and you will see the detail of the white background paper as it has embossed snowflakes on it. Hopefully I will be putting more Magnolia stamps on here soon. Thanks for looking!
