House Mouse Card For April

Here is what I was doing several weekends ago. Mass production of House Mouse cards for April. 95 of these little babies shipped off last Friday to Oklahoma to be sent out to various stamping  and scrapbooking stores.Here is a close-up of the finished card. I added Diamond Stickles to the lemons. It turned out very cute!

Brayer Class Cards

I went to Spring Texas this past weekend to take a few brayer classes from Michelle Zindorf http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/ . I must say she is a wiz with the brayer! If you ever have a chance to take a class from her DO NOT hesitate! It is fun and you will learn some great techniques using this tool that a lot of us do not pick up anymore. I hope to develop some classes to teach at

Stamp Asylum later this year using the things I learned.

Valentine Swap & Steampunk Heart

These painted tin cans were for a Valentine swap in one of my art groups. Using the paper rosette die by Tim Holtz to accent the front of the can and fringed tulle behind it gave a fun dimensional look.    

This beauty is made from clay in the Steampunk style of art. I made it at another one of my art group meetings. Two ladies taught us the how to. I decided to frame it at the suggestion of another friend.

House Mouse Cards For January, February & March

Trying to stay caught up on the House Mouse cards. This one is January. I thought it reminded me of the New Year. So I tried to make it look a little formal. If you can make a mouse look formal. LOL

 February of course had to be sorta Valentine-ish. Or about sweets anyway.

March was just fun! Those mice sure can get in some weird places.
