A Bunny


Yesterday was new student orientation day at UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham). They separated all the parents from our little ones and lectured us about empty nest syndrome, letting go, and how much of our money they would be needing. I wasn't feeling too sad previously, but after all that I was totally depressed! I am feeling like I need to be hugging a stuffed bunny right now. Isn't this image the most precious thing? It is one of my fav House Mouse/Happy Hopper/Gruffie images. I am placing this sweet little thing in the House-Mouse & Friends the challenge (HMFMC147) which is Anything Goes with a charm.

Hope your weekend has been wonderful. Hugz!

    I can see why you ended up feeling sad, but just looking at this card HAS to make you and everyone that sees it feel happy. This is my favorite Happy Hopper images also. I think it works for just about any occasion. You did an outstanding coloring job with it and those flowers were the perfect touch. Love the heart charm. You made me smile this morning with your card, thank you. So glad you could play along with HM&F challenge this week.

    Adorable card and great coloring. I could have used a big bunny hug when we dropped off our son for college.

    This is totally adorable, Nancy. I feel your pain but she won't be that far away and I bet she'll be missing Mom, too. What an adorable image and lovely flowers.

    This is just beautiful. I love all your layered die cuts and the black just makes everything stand out in contrast perfectly. Know what you mean about the empty nest syndrome!!! Did their childhood really go by that fast. It was so much fun while it lasted. I think I need to adopt!!! lol
    Bear Hugs,

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Bear-ied In Paperwork

 Back again, with a card for this week's House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge ( HMFMC#424 ).  This week the challenge is Anything goes with the option of scraps of paper. I took the option literally and added scraps of paper on my kitchen counter.  I needed a thank you card for someone who has been helping us organize A LOT of papers.   I stamped the image (House Mouse Gruffies Bear-ied in Paperwork -2007) using CTMH Black, then coloring the image with Daniel Smith Watercolors.  I drew in an extra paper or two so that I could make one of them a Thank You paper - it is the top right and shaded pink.  Thanks for visiting, Nancy
