Christmas Mouse Again

 I used this sweet mouse on a card for the last BYSH Cardmarkers hop.  I almost always print at least two copies of digital stamps.  If I make a mistake, I have a spare, otherwise I can make more than 1 card.   I have had this little guy sitting on my desk for ages so I decided to quickly put him on a card during my lunch break.  I used some left over die cuts and pieces of paper in an effort to keep it quick and simple.

My inspiration to make some Christmas cards has come from the BYSH Cardmakers.  Click on the image below to stop by the blog and link up your holiday card. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Christmas Mouse

 I have another card for the BYSH Blog Hop.  I am really enjoying this hop because it is giving me some much needed motivation to get a jump on making Christmas cards.

While looking through my Christmas digital stamps, I saw this cute little mouse and realized that I had not colored him before.  I used Microsoft Word to soften the lines of the images so that it would be more like lineless coloring.  I used a white gel pen to add back the accents on his sweater.

I always try to print/color multiple of the same image so that I can build my stash of cards.  I have another cute mouse colored and I hope I have time to create a card with him before the end of the hop.

Monsterously Good Birthday

I won the cute Critters & Cogs set from Polly Craft and could not wait to use it. Although I like all the images in the set, for some reason, this big hairy guy is my fav and I had to break him out first. I think he reminds me of "Where the Wild Things Are". So I made this birthday card for the son of a friend who is turning 6.

The "6" was made by using my Cricut and George cartridge out of an old cereal box. I love recycling!

Updated: mygrafico is having a sale for National Scrapbooking Day. 30% of everything until midnight tonight (May 1). Check out the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff store.
