January Friends of WMS Blog Waltz

It's January 17 and time for another Waltzing Mouse Stamps Blog Waltz. The theme this month is Valentines/Love.

In order to combat the monotony of hours on the treadmill or elliptical, I design cards in my head. I had this great idea for a card only to find out I didn't have the set I needed. Truly, I thought I had purchased it some time during 2010. You can guess what will be on my next order! So I used the only WMS set with hearts that I have.



Can't wait to see what Claire has in store for us in 2011.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Stamps: Faux Fun, Seasons of Love - Tags
Card Stock: PTI Scarlet Jewel, Sweet Blush, Vintage Cream
Ink: Fresh Snow, Scarlet Jewel
Miscellaneous: Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Sweet Blush ribbon, Maya Road Ruffle Blossom, dimensionals, embossing powder

November Friends of WMS Blog Waltz

It's November 15 and time for the WMS monthly blog waltz. To get us in the mood for the holidays (or maybe to give us a push to complete those holiday cards), the theme this month is Christmas.

Several years ago, one of my favorite paper companies, My Mind's Eye, had a Christmas paper collection that featured browns and blues. I've always liked that color combo and decided to use those non-traditional colors as my inspiration. Although I have several WMS Christmas sets, I seem to go back to Very Vintage Christmas over and over this year.





I pulled out my trusty Marvy snowflake punch to create my embellishment. And Tara, if you are reading this, I had to stand on it to get it to work. I actually thought I broke it but after a bit of time manipulating it, it's ok and ready for the next snowflake!

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.
