Another Great Mouse-A-Round Card

I received this great card from Kimberly for our MAR (Mouse-A-Round) Swap! Isn't it Stunning! The paisley paper really goes nice with the strawberries! Don't you just love this image! I do! I like all of the House Mouse images with Strawberries. I love strawberries!

Thank you Kimberly for this great work of art and the extra goodies you sent me too!

Be Back in a Minute with a new post!

Great Mail Day today!

Hi Everyone!

I had a wonderful day today! Isn't this card stunning!

I got this card from a member and dear friend Linda Abby for our MAR swap, which means "Mouse-a-round.

I am just in love with this card and I have a special way to display my favorites and this one will definitely be on that display! Linda was also so generous as to send me and embossing folder "Swiss Dots" for my Cuttlebug!

Thanks you so much Linda! You are the greatest!

Its a House Mouse Day!

This is another card I had so much fun making.

The letters are from the same pack of foam letters on the "Make a wish card". One of my House Mouse group friends (Lisa) sent me the letters and another

friend from my group sent me this fabulous pre-cut book card. I used a gold leafing pen for the top pages and on the side of the spine, I used a Sekura Gel pen to write Mouse Tails. I am afraid you can barely see it.

I was so tickled with this card and it will be going in the mail to one of my Mousie friends this week. It is

actually dark blue, not black and looks much better in person than in the scan.

It is not the scanner that is my problem. I can edit them without any problem on the scanner program. It is the Adobe starter edition on this new pc that changes the look when I transfer them. They come in really dull and I hit fix and I think it does a really bad job of fixing it. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to get the advanced edition or buy a new photo editing program. I already have a great program...Print Shop, but it is not compatible with windows Vista!!! This really burns me that Microsoft and other companies do this! They upgrade products and force you to buy new programs or as in my case do without! Sorry about the rant! It is like a burr in my saddle! LOL!

Well gotta run....lots to do today......I may send another card your way later today with another post. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin!

Happy Monday!

Trying to start off on an upbeat note, but another gloomy day here in the South (weather wise that is!). I really miss the sunshine! This weather is so weird! We get 1 or 2 days of beautiful Spring like weather with Sunshine and warmth!

I am now on the 3rd book of the "Left Behind " books "Nicolae" and about half way through it.

If I did absolutely nothing else, I could read all 12 of them in a week, but we all know how that is. You can't just stop the world and get off for a week! LOL!

I received this card from a member of my group Karyn, for the Getting to know you swap. Isn't it adorable! I just love the Happy Hoppers and frogs too! It was the perfect card to send me. Karyn is so talented! Thank you so much Karyn!

Well thanks for stopping by and I will probably come back later and show some more of my cards. Happy Stampin! Hugs Lori

Whirlwind of Busy and Thank you!

First I would like to take a moment to thank a special friend from my House Mouse Group, Jovita at Inky Impressions for this great card she sent me and all the wonderful Happy Hopper Valentine Images! Also thanks for the help with the Links Jovi!

I have been so busy lately that I don't know what to do first! Do you ever do that?

Friday night I went to Heavenly Stampers Stamp Club! We worked on Alcohol Inks, Punching and using our Cuttlebugs. We had so much fun and found something wonderful. If you make your AI backgrounds and then emboss them in your CB, the effect is stunning, especially if you used metallic AI's in your background. Something you may want to play with in your spare time, if you have any!

Then I went to a friends House over the weekend to play and she made us all a wonderful dinner! We played with our Cuttlebugs some more and I broke my first "B" plate! Actually, I just made a very large crack in it and was still able to use it as the bottom plate! It was the cutting plate that broke and I think it was just weak from so much use. Luckily for me I had a brand new set at home. Now I will use the unbroken one for my cutting plate and a new one for embossing. Then I still have one new plate if and when I need it, for a spare!

Well, I have so many swaps to complete and things to get in the mail and am running way behind, so I will close for now!

Happy Stampin! Lori

Today is the day.............
