This card that I made for the MAR swap was a real challenge and I don't think it will ever be repeated by me at least. I used seam binding up each side of the image and it was not easy adhering it to the panel. Is it too much with the background plaid panel? I sort of like it. Do you ever have a card that you have done and you like it, but are unsure of what your recipient will like it?

I would love to hear your comments on it. Thanks for stopping by. Lori

Kissing A Bird!

This is one that I made. At first this little image drove me nuts. I usually have a hard time working with smaller images. It isn't the small image, so much as it is the space around it. Since I have been blogging so much lately I am getting all kinds of inspiration. The background on this is a metallic blue and I made the diamond design with my Scor-Pal. I just love that thing. I am just amazed at what I can accomplish with it.

So, what do you think of my lay-out? I would love to hear your comments.

Thanks for stopping by.

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!
