It's a NEW Challenge at Shopping Our Stash!! Halloween!!!

Shopping Our Stash has a new challenge and a very easy one since you need to be getting those Halloween cards done for the little ones. I have made this one for my 2 year old great grandson.  I used one of my favourite stamp company images....House Mouse, I've had this for many years, the patterned paper I used is a few years old, the die is only a year old but never been used until now, put them all together and here is what I've made.

It's a slider card, the carrot dressed mouse slide back and forth, action cards are always a hit with both little and big boys. 

Close up of the adorable image.

Just a simple Happy Halloween and a scrap of patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the MAIN BLOG and check out the rest of the Halloween creations.

It's Almost Witching Hour~~~

Challenge #378 at Shopping Our Stash is Witching Hour we want to see Halloween/Spooky/Witchy. Donna is are theme maker for th is challenge and she loves Halloween and scary stuff so get in your craft room and create something for the challenge.

Since I need cards for my great grandsons I started with this one, my favourite stamp company is House Mouse Designs and I love the super cute Halloween stamps. I made it into a slider card, the garlic is chasing the Dracula mouse. The paper is from a stack I bought many many many years ago while in Florida.  

If I knew how to use the video on my camera I might be able to show how it slides.

I was really happy and surprised to find I had packed a Halloween sentiment (which was printed last year or maybe the year before) among my stamped/printed images.

We are all closed up at the cottage for the Winter, I have everything back home now the fun starts putting everything back where it belongs.  We have spent a lot of time there this summer although without internet it was a bit of a challenge, a few trips into town to use the WiFi at the library or if it was Sunday we went to Wendy's and enjoyed the .99 cent frostys. Thanks for stopping by today and we are looking forward to your spooky creations.

The Easter Mouse has Arrived

It's Good Friday and all the major stores are closed and in between laundry and dishwasher I was crafting a couple of Easter cards for the Great Grandsons, Sunday we are all heading for a family brunch ~~ 10 or 12 of us. For the first year in a long time we haven't had ham and all the trimmings and it sure gives everyone more time to enjoy the day.  So here is the first one I made.

I just got a set of slider/spinner dies and of course I just had to try one, I kept it pretty simple for the first one, also it is for a 9 year old boy so he probably wouldn't like a fancy one. I followed instructions and used my anti static bag on the opening and all around where the foam tape is so it slides really nice. The stamp I used is from House Mouse Designs.

I got a little carried away and just had to use the Karen Bernstein pop up label die, I've only used it once before a year ago Halloween. I added another house mouse image. 

Just added a die cut Happy Easter to the inside.

I'm entering this in:

House Mouse & Friends Monday challenge ~~ Anything Goes
