Sweet Smellin'

House Mouse Stamp; Friends HMFMC145

I  love this stamp,  I use it a lot just because they look os sweet.   How can you not love these mice.  Their antics are adorable.   I found the dotted paper in a box and some odds and ends of embellishments.  My Sweet husband is feeling so bad because I don't have a stamping room yet and am using the bedroom floor. But you can't stop a stamper can you. We will find a place somewhere.  It feels good to be off the road for a while and we are believing we will find the right home with a stamping room soon.  Hugs, Cathy 

A Mo Image Card

Yes,  I like so many others I love Mo images,  they so remind me of my wonderful great granddaughter.  I made this one for a home page contest.  I may not be chosen but I sure had fun making it.  I have to admit using the bedroom floor to make cards is getting a bit old but hopefully we will have a home again soon.  My husband is so awesome, he wants to give me a stamp room again soon.  He has carted some of my stamping supplies all over the United States the last 3 years as we have gone around speaking about the Love of the Lord and I have to tell you I have the best girls on my House Mouse Stamping list. They have kept me supplied with images and papers and so many things when we were someplace that I had an address. We are now back in Arizona and happy as can be to be warm again.  Sending you all big hugs, Cathy

Poppy Card

Oh I love Poppy's, at least the colors of them.  This is a swap using a sketch. As usual I didn't have too many supplies unpacked yet.  But this weekend is going to be an unpacking of my supplies, Yes for sure.  I realized after I had taken the card to the post office that I hadn't cut out between the stems or at least colored them in.  I was really not happy. So please imagine that the stems are done.  I won't make that mistake again for sure LOL.   That was another punch I found at Ross's or T.J.Max for $4.00 (Martha Stewart). You girls need to find those stores in your area.  Humm wonder I am supposed to be saying that LOL oh well, Stampers share secrets don't they ;) I think my husband is surprising me with a new and better camera.  My hand is ready to grab it already LOL hugs, Cathy

My Australian Swap Card

We were to make a card that depicted something in Australia,  I have just arrived in Arizona (yahhh) and most of my images and stamps and digi's are still packed but I found this one.  Wish I knew who made this image.  Anyway,  again with the turquoise accents.  Would you believe I found this corner punch and edge punch (the set) at I think it was Ross's or T.J.Max for $5.99 Regular $24.99  Love their stores for hidden treasures and they are Martha Stewart punches.  God spoils me. LOL  hugs, Cathy K

Favorite Flower Color Swap (TLC Image)

I love this image and it celebrates life. Each Day is a new start and a new breath of life.  This is the card I made for a Swap that we were to use the colors of our favorite flower.  Now I know, your saying, there is no such thing as turquoise flower. You are right in the natural but when I go to the grocery store I always buy a bouquet (when I do LOL) that has turquoise flowers in the bouquet. Turquoise is one of my favorite colors.  Hugs, Cathy

For My Friend

Here is a card I made for a friend of mine who adopted as rescue dog who had been severely beaten and her back legs do not work right because of the abuse and she is afraid of every shadow and every movement.  For some reason she felt comfortable with Mark and I and wanted to be on our laps and we would find her on our bed. One time I felt something warm under the blanket and it was Sophie (her name) She weighs only about 4 lbs.  So I made my friend this card when I saw the image.  This is a Meljens image. I truly need a new camera.  The colors that show here are not the true colors so hopefully a good camera is in my future LOL I am still making cards on my bed or on the floor but I am believing for our own home soon.  

Hugs, Cathy 

Spring Swap

This is a card I made for a Spring Swap and I found the background in a bargin bin and it sparkles, I don't know if you can tell and just over layed it on tope of blue cardstock.  The flowers are one from something I found and thanks to my Copic pens I was able to dye them to the same shade as the background paper.  The  flowers are all made with Stickles. Oh how I love anything that glitters LOL>  The image (digi) is from Beccy'splace.blogspot.com . I couldn't pass it up and I know it is one I will use alot.   Oh the leaves, I have to tell you.  My daughter had a small die for her Sidekick and I was playing with it and just used some card stock sitting there and punched out the leaves. Threw them aside and then when I was making the card, it needed something else and being we are still traveling I didn't have anything much with me.  Then bingo, I remembered those leaves in the corner. LOL and they matched the background and the flowers.  I don't know what I will ever do when I get a stamping room again.  Learning to improvise has been challenging but I have some of the most magnificent girls on my stamping list and they take such good care of me. Thank you girls.  Hugs, Cathy
