Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was very nice to be with my parents this year. I even got my card for today made up. I decided not to do any Black Friday shopping today. I just didn't see anything I really NEEDED. Of course there were many things I wanted, but not bad enough to get up that early and wait in line in the Minnesota cold. I might run up to JoAnn's in a bit to use my coupons and see if there's anything left.
On with Fun Filled Friday post. This week Jen challenged me to use House Mouse stamps. I decided which stamp I wanted to use before we left to visit my parents so I stamped a few images (in case I messed up), I even had a background paper all picked out, but as you will see I didn't go that route. Here is the cute little guy I decided to use:
This was a pretty simple card to make. I stamped the image on plain white card stock and colored it with my Prismacolor pencils blended with Gamsol. Then I cut out the image and layered it on blue card stock. Next I ran some really light blue (almost white) card stock through my Cuttlebug and used light green chalk to try and make it pop a bit. (that is really hard to see in the scan). Then I cut the Cuttlebugged paper into 3 pieces 1 1/4" x 3". I layered each one on the darker blue card stock. Next I glued all of the Cuttlebugged pieces to a piece of the lighter blue card stock and cut that out. Then I glued the whole piece to the center of my A2 size card base. i finally added my layered image and that was it. Don't forget to peek at Jen's card for today.
Supplies:
- Stamp - House Mouse Morning Kick Start #HMIR1014
- Card Stock - Bazzill
- Miscellaneous - Cuttlebug and swirls embossing folder, Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, ATG gun
I stamped "Warmest Wishes" on the inside. I thought he could really help "warm" someone up this winter.
So did anyone venture out to the stores this morning? I would love to hear what you bought and what fabulous deals you got! If I make anything else while I am at my parents I'll be sure to post and share with you. Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Crafting,
Kimmy

Simple? It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAdorable card! This is so cute. You can never go wrong with HM images.
ReplyDeleteI went out later in the morning to Walmart for some of the deals that were available until 11 a.m.
I got our 3 year old niece
Disney Princess clogs for $4,
matching disney princess flece sweater for $4, dora jacket $5, a Hanna Montana Shirt that lites up $5. Then we went to Home Depot for one of the blow up ornaments for the yard but they were sold out and we got 2 big Mickey & Minnie display (dressed as Mr and Mrs. Claus) for $30 which I thought was a great deal they are big (will have to take a picture when we take them out of the box). That was our extent of shopping
