A Mouse and a Comfy Chair



The House Mouse and Friends Challenge #146 (HMFMC146) is Fathers Day, and I had a bit of time to play today. I won this little image in a HMFC blog hop a few months ago. Had to use my new Impression Obsession flower and leaf dies and some of my older Spell Binder dies. This one is going off to my Brother-in-law Bobby - he is such an excellent Father. He has stood by his sons through some of the most heart wrenching issues; he is such a great example of what a Father should be.


Today's Featured Stamper on SCS (FS331) is Jodi r. and I chose THIS card to case. Jodi has a beautiful gallery full of lovely papers and ribbons. I was in a CAS mood early this morning. My image is called Cozy Chair and is drawn by Fawn Palmer (available at Squigglefly). Instead of a raffia bow, I used my new Impression Obsession bow die and some IO flowers too (can you tell I got new toys yesterday?). I read a magazine at the doctor's office this week that said that hand-drawn chevrons are the next rage in fabric and upholstery so I drew mine - not so sure about this prediction but it was fun anyway.



Hugz to all and hope you are having a blessed Sunday!

    The House Mouse card is just fabulous and I think you are very brave to draw your own chevrons. Good job!!!
    New toys are super, aren't they? The die is great!!!

    Two fabulous card, Nancy. That little mouse is just so darn cute and I adore the colors of the flowers and leaves you used. Your second card is lovely, what a great sentiment. That chair looks like something I should go sit in right now. Have a wonderful day.

    Two fun cards! The mousie card is adorable with those tiny flowers, and big bow! Such a sweet thought for your BIL - I'm sure he's going to be pleasantly surprised :) And I'm ready to plop in that big easy chair on your 2nd card! It just spells "RELAX" in such a nice way! Well done!

    Love the House Mouse range, they always look so very cute and this one is no exception :) Your chair with hand drawn chevrons looks fab but I can't see that on furniture in real life........

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
