Waltzingmouse Blog Party - September 2012

It's time again for the Waltzingmouse Blog Party and I am so happy that I had my card ready to go a few days early...I hate to be late to the party. This month's theme is Fall and Claire gave us an incredible photo to for inspiration...I made a card for this week's sketch challenge thinking the theme was the holidays but I was wrong and so happy I went back and read what she wrote about this month's party.  One of the last sets I purchased from WM was Teeny Trees and really have not had the chance to play with it too much. When I realized the theme was fall I knew just what I wanted to do with this set.  I love all of the sweet tree options you get with this set and I used the ones that are my favorites. I love the stick trunks and branches and the options you have with all of the different leaves, just so much fun. If you have not made your card yet for this party, you may still have time...check out the rules and you have the chance to win a free stamp set too!

Waltzingmouse Blog Party March 2012 - St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I love this holiday, not quite sure why...maybe it's all the green and all the fun crafts you can do.  Anyway, I was so excited when I saw what the theme was going to be for this month's blog party, you can never go wrong with St. Patrick's Day, Irish or green.  My card came together rather quickly too, just like Joyce's cards that assemble themselves.  I used the WMS Eat Cake set and used some beautiful printed paper that a sweet friend sent me, they just seemed to go so well together.  Thanks for taking a peek!

Wow, this month is just flying by and it is already the 17th, time to post my card for the Waltzingmouse Blog Party. The theme this month is Spring...Looking Forward to Spring and I am really looking forward to having a bit warmer weather, seeing all the blooms on the trees and most of all baseball season to start! My card this month uses the Afternoon Tea set (one of my favorite sets that WMS makes) and the Quatrefoil die from PTI, the perfect combination.  Thanks for taking a peek!
