Hello friends....I have eeked out some crafty time already this week, and will start with my favorite card of the bunch. The challenge at Stay Crafty with Hero #8 is Small Joys, and I found some tiny stamps in my newest Hero Arts stamp set to use on my card. I stamped the trio of books 4 separate times, cut them out and stacked them up, resting the little reading mouse right on top. I don't know why, but I love this card so much (I may never send it out). I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #165: Up to One Third + Optional Twist of Repeating Image (my trio of books).
This next card is inspired by the challenge at Lawn Faunatics #77: Oh Baby and Perfectly CAS #9: Animals. This sweet little baby deer is from Lawn Fawn Into the Woods.
Next up is a card inspired by the challenge at Paper Smooches: Thank You, Addicted to CAS #184: Flower, and Retro Rubber Challenge #135: tic tac toe (die cut, embossing, flowers). My stamps are Paper Smooches Blossoming Buds and I think they are 4 years old.
Last up is a card using these beautiful Chrysanthemum stamps from Uniko, and I am inspired to play along with Uniko Challenge #59: Anything Goes with the optional twist of bright and happy.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteYour mojo must be on overdrive, Joyce! I love them all, but I may be in agreement with you about that first card. But I'm okay with you keeping it - but if it had been a little kitty reading... ;)
