Happy Monday peeps! Wow, we are having some crazy weather here in PA...snow, sleet, more snow, wind and COLD!! Perfect day to stay inside and stamp! I made a little birthday card for my stash using three challenges: Perfectly CAS#11, Inspire.Create #083, and Addicted to CAS #190:
So here we go:
I began by stenciling my "pattern" on the bottom of a Thick White card base with SU's Basic Pattern Decorative Mask in Coastal Cabana with a blending brush. The mice from Colorado Craft Company were stamped in Memento Black, then colored with Blends and diecut:
I added some Wink of Stella to the gift, although you can't see it, added a sentiment and some sequins....I am not quite sure how that lime green one got in there....might have to do some surgery to remove that one and replace it with another, LOL! The final addition was stamping the inside sentiments:
I'll add this to my stash; it will probably go to a sweetie pie from church! Thanks for popping in today!
Cassidy had to make a Valentine's project for school and she chose to make a mailbox, with a little help from Mommy! Every good project starts with a rough drawing (and can you see the long division problem up in the corner? I am so impressed her school teaches the good old-fashioned way!):
Some measuring and tracing:
Mommy's hands are a little stronger, so she cut out the cardboard pieces:
As well as putting the hot glue gun to a good workout:
I'll share more later! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
"Therefore everyone who hearts these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Matthew 7:24-27

Oh those mice! Adorable card! And Miss C's project looks great so far!
Those mice are so cute! Great stencil inspiration too - I always feel like I don't use stencils enough! I am off to dig some out ...
these guys put the dot in polkas, LeAnne! and I don't mind the lime green sequin a bit! SO cute!
Can't wait to see the finished project - it sure is looking sturdy enough to mount!

PS VERY impressed with the work in progress with the mailbox and am looking forward to seeing the finished article!!
OK.. LOVING the long division!!! Seriously takes me back and I still do it when I don't feel like getting out my phone/calculator! What a wonderful project.
Now.. this card.. made me LOL. What a darling pair. I love the colors and the stencil. Once again you have shown how adroitly you can move from one style to another.
So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week
