OLD WORLD DESIGNS

The journey of creating begins with a spark from deep within. The artist continues on the loom of life and throughout time a beautiful tapestry takes shape and form from the luscious fibres, brilliant gems and precious pearls we encounter along the way....

Good Day Everyone,

I created this fun card with a new House Mouse stamp that I recieved from Cindy Echtinaw at
http://www.scrappingstamping.com/ I have joined the Design of the Month Club which I find to be the best way to collect these adorable stamps.
This is the February stamp from the House Mouse Design of the Month club selections. And before I sent it out I rubbed some scrumpdiliitious scent all over it - Peanut Butter Cookie scent from Scent my Cards - mmmm, mmmmm, good!
What a fun stamp and scent to use this time of the year when winter is still with us. It gets you in the mood to go sliding or skating on our outdoor rinks and then go home to a cup of hot chocolate and some PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!!

Thanks to Cindy and Kevin for offering these adorable stamps and scents at such reasonable prices. Go on over and check the store for some awesome deals on all the products! I used copic markers to color the stamp and I used Spellbinders Grand Borderability Classic Lace and Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels One on this card. Creating cards with House Mouse is a blast!!!

Here is the companion card that I did with a different paper choice from the same paper collection. Using the same Snowman but coloring him a little differently. These snowmen cards were my one more "Hoorah" before Winter comes to an official close. After this week we will be going into March and then before we know it, it will be coming into Spring...


I like to match up my lining inside the card and I love to make matching envelopes for my cards as it adds a finishing detail for me.

Please leave a comment and of course it would be wonderful to have you added on as a member on my new blog. I will be back tomorrow with my Design Team card.. hint, hint -- Its a House Mouse stamp - YES!!!

Its Still Winter




Here is a great card that I've created with Just Rite's 3 1/4" round Stamps -"Old Fashioned Christmas" collection. This snowman goes well in several provinces and states that continue to see snowfalls this winter. This is a Special Friend card that you may send to a friend that you are missing; someone you want to touch base with. Someone for whom distance makes it difficult to get together more often. This is a great card to send on to someone who lives in a sunny hot clime! You may find these delicious Just Rite stamps for incredible prices at http://www.stampingscrapping.com/ Email Cindy or Kevin with any questions as they are more than available and ready to answer your questions for you. The service is excellent and the shipping is exceptional - fast and efficient and cost effective. Stay tuned for another rendition of this card in the following post!!

A Very Girly Pirate Party Invitation


Good Day Friends
As promised, here is an example of the girly invitations. Along side is another example of a more masculine card. You will notice in these examples, a slightly different title. Each title I created took a little time to create and finesse but then I saved them and have them any time I may want to recall them for use again.
These cards were very enjoyable to create. Inside each card, I have placed a border and matching paper. Its all about the details!!!
Stay tuned ... there will be more creations coming soon.
