Ooh Ooh, Pick Me!!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love mice...and House Mouse are my favorite stamps. And...

My favorite challenge site is looking for 2 new DT members for a 12 week stint. I want to be one. A LOT. Why? It's not because I think my work is so very great. In reality, I often find myself envious of others' designs. Not necessarily the entire project but various pieces, such as chalking flower edges. Such a simple thing and the flowers have such a 'pop' but I don't always think of those things. Having a weekly challenge, that I have made a commitment to, would be such a great way to improve my paper crafting.

Mojo Monday Challenge #71

I was recently turned onto this website that has weekly card challenges, because let's face it, every now and then, we all could use some inspiration. This is the inspiration.

I'm not a particular fan of square cards, so I just used a regular card for my interpretation.

I absolutely LOVE these House Mouse stamps.

How many dogs...

can fit in a chair?

Apparantly, two.

D's halloween costume

This year, D wanted to be a gangster. Over the summer, he watched all three Godfather movies and Scarface so it wasn't a surprise at this year's choice of costume. Finding a pattern to make such a costume proved to be more difficult. But I finally found one. His pants, vest, tie, and hat wrap were all sewn by your truely.

Here's his 'mean' face.

PNEUMONIA LAYOUTS

My darling boy came down with pneumonia when he was 5 years old.

Do you like his lungs?

Another paper piecing. The boy in his bed.

Waterfalls

The one thing I truely liked about Animal Kingdom are the waterfalls. Here, there and everywhere.

Boss's Day Card

I was in charge of the card this year and I briefly thought about purchasing a card but thankfully that didn't last long. The blank 'post it notes' were signed by a member of the staff.
