There's No Place Like Grandma's

So...as usual I was so late for mother's day for my OWN mom that I just made her an I miss you card. My mom LOVES animals.....mostly my own dogs.... :) And I had gotten this SA-WEET House Mouse image from Creative Accents recently just so I could make my mommy a card and well... this big sweet puppy reminds me of my big mutt.... And the three little mice I figure are her 3 grandchildren. how perfect huh?

Now....over at House Mouse & Friends their challenge this month is May flowers, and I've got lots a flowers on here both in the paper and those sweet Reflection roses.... And....I did use the sketch from over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp....I flipped it....and moved the elements around some....so I hope it still is accepted. :) Now....I just have to show you this pic of my own sweet puppy cause well.... I love him.

How could you NOT love him?? He misses his grandma too..... 

Tea for Two.....

Ya know... I, as many of us do up alot of Design Team cards... and while I love each and every one of them... it just seems when I do a card for a special friend or family member... THOSE are the cards that turn out better than any other... I guess it's the extra love you put in them?? I dont know... I dont cook...but it's kinda like that sappy cheesy old saying your grandmother always used to say about why her Cookies always tasted so good... Cause they're made with Love. Is that it?? Whatever it is... Good mojo or love... I love it when a PLAN comes together! LOL

Recently a very special friend of mine moved... away... FAR AWAY. :( People just shouldn't be allowed (now I start to say that and realize that almost 10 years ago I did the same to my closest friends when I moved here to Williams Lake... *Sigh* Im sorry for that) I miss her allready and she's only been gone a few days. So I've been thinking of her alot and wanted to make her a special card to mail to her new home in FORT FREAKIN NELSON!!! OMG! Could you find a FARTHER away place woman?!?!  Anyhow... before I start ranting. Here is my card for you.

Aren't these little House Mouse critters adorable?? I love them soo.... I LOVE House Mouse in general actually! LOL Now, this stamp actually has a Hot Chocolate tin behind the mice, but Chris is a Tea freak.. AND a fan of the colour Blue so I had to alter it abit and make a TEA card. :) I've also used the sketch from over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday I've flipped the sketch on it's side...it's there it really is. :)  anyhow... I dont wanna go on and on about my card. So I'll sign off for now. But I hope you like... and Chris... it's on it's way to you soon! :) I miss ya so much!
Cheers all!

April SOTM at Creative Accents ~ House Mouse

Good morning bloggers! Today is April Fools day. No fools here tho....unless you count driving WAY too many hours foolish. I'll be on my way South again this afternoon... Geesh! but it's to see my Favorite aunt so I guess it will be worth it....oh and while there I'll be checkin out the Sewing and Crafts Show... so that will for SURE be a good day!!  Now, with the beginning of a new month that also means a new Stamp of the Month over at my favorite little scrapbook shop Creative Accents And I was THRILLED when Tara asked me to help out with the samples this month cause they're some of my FAVS from House Mouse!!! Woot Woot!!! Such cute stamps! So here are my samples first up is It's Easter for Peeps Sake

Tara and I both used the Basic Grey papers Hello Luscious to create our cards. And Im not gonna lie to ya...I REALLY struggled with them... I loved them, but was wishing for some "cuter" papers. However...what's life without alittle challenge huh?? LOL And I think the cards came out well!! LOL I also got that GORGEOUS crocheted ribbon at Creative Accents... LUV IT!!! My sentiment is a stamp from Whipper Snapper (also available at CA) 

Next up I made a Baby card

Using the same papers again, I cut my little chickie out so it looks like he's saying to the bunny "Heard you had a little Chick" and now.... I can hear ya saying... Cheri... isn't that a hand written sentiment? And aren't you the Sentiment girl?? UM YA! However... i did have this sentiment all written up and made purdy to print off and use.... but me and that ($*#(@$()@*) Printer of mine had yet another falling out.. and this time HE WON! Bloody thing....  So....hand written it is today.

Hope you're on our SOTM club...cause you're gonna wish you were now aren't ya?? 

He heee!!!

Oh and stay tuned, cause I think there might be a new challenge over at CA coming up soon too!!!

*wink wink*

Happy Birthday Shelley!!!!

SO!! Today is one of the greatest days of the year! Why you ask? isn't it just another Thursday? nope, it's not! It's my BBFF (Bestest Best Friend Forevah!)'s birthday!! And I've tried to make a card she'll LOVE!! I stress myself out every year with HER card (ok....or for the past few years anyhow, since I've started this silly obsession of mine), last years card had moving parts and REAL Starbucks coffee involved...and I said to myself... *How will I top this??* And I honestly dont know that I could.... but that being said, Im sure she'll like this one. Shell and I both LOVE coffee....and LOVE House Mouse Stamps, and well stamps in general.... but that's another topic. HERE is her birthday card.....

So here are some happy mice...who may have had some EXTRA coffee to celebrate the special day!  I've 3D'd them and used my Copic Airbrush to colour the background in. I've even used some REAL coffee beans for embellishments! (had to get the starbucks on there somewhere! LOL) That sentiment is from a MFT set I have. On the inside I've used some sentiments from a Skipping Stones Coffee Set I have. (uh....ya I have a lot of Coffee-related stamps!!)

 
Now!! I'm entering this into 2 challenges, over at House Mouse and Friends they're challengeing you to emboss on your card which I did on the front of this, and over at Simon Says Challenge, the challenge is Animal Antics! LOL Which is fairly explanatory I'd say! :o)

I hope you have a fantastic day my sweet friend! I miss you and hope we can have a drink SOON to celebrate! hopefully......you will get a surprise sometime soon today. :o)

Love you like a sister!!!

Just Because ~ Gruffiies Card

Well, I made this card sometime ago and never posted it for who knows what reason!! And, it's a CUTE card, all sweet and full of smiles. And since I KNOW this weekend I'll have some um....not so "cute" cards coming up *hint hint* I'd post something for those of you that like the Cutsy stuff rather than some of my resent *macabre* sort of posts.....I really am not like that! LOL But Im even worried about me....after you see Friday's card you'll understand the need for some CUTENESS on my blog! LOL OK, so I actually made this for my mom! And if you know when her birthday is....well you'll know how long it's been since I MADE this card!

Isnt he CUTE?? Shelley actually gave me this stamp for my birthday, knowing how much I LOVE lilacs (theyr'e my favorite flower) He's a Gruffie!! So cute. Anyhow, I hope this made you smile this snow filled cold day!!!

And on friday.....remember that I can do cute too..... ;o)

Stamptacular Sunday DT ~ Treemendous

Happy Sunday all. And what a pretty one it is. The snow is softly falling here, my house is quiet and lit by Christmas lights. My furkids are all surrounding me, it's very peacefull. I have another Stamptacular Sunday card to share with you. Our challenge this week is:

TREEMENDOUS!

To use a tree on your card somewhere. And while it doesn't have to be Christmas related, that's what I've done here with this CA-UTE House Mouse image.

OK, so I've coloured the image in Copics and then glossed up that ornament with some Glossy Accents (it was still wet when I took this that's why is SUPER shiny!! LOL) Anyhow, I really should actually address and send some of these Christmas cards of mine.... so off to do that! Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday, and I sure hope you find time to join us this week at STamptacular!

Cheers

Sketch Saturday ~ House Mouse Wedding Card

OMGoodness!!! Im actually posting a card! For a challenge....just because! Not DT work or anything, just a card I made for my brother in law and new wife. Ive shocked myself!! And.....miracles never cease today, I even LIKE the darn thing! LOL Ok....here it is. Using this week's sketch at Sketch Saturday (which should JUST go to show you how long this card took me this week since Im BAREL?Y squeezing it in under the wire here.....yikes). And using my NEW favorite House Mouse stamp (think I have a new addiction)

Ok....I just love this image. I love lilacs and the mice are so cute...and I even love the vase. As I said above I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday and these papers are from BoBunny ~ Peacock Lane. I made those little flowers up top with my little flower punch and Glimmer mists. I didn't have a purple mist so I sprayed them with JAzz Blue and bubble Gum pink and while the colour is a little darker than I might have really liked, they still came out pretty good I think. My cute mice and flowers are all colored with Copics. The inside of the card is....

 And it's also an easle card!! I love these.

Now I've also used some glossy accents on the vase to make it look more like glass. I love that technique.

anyhow, that's my card for the day week!! good greif. I really did start working on it on the weekend last and well....have SLOWLY and painfully worked on it here and there this week.

thank you so much for stopping by!!!
Cheers

Summer Fun

Ok, so for some reason, I seem to have taken a horrible picture of this card. It didn't look so bad on the screen previously, but loaded in here it looks awful. Anyhow, it's not doing it justice really. Ive coloured it all with Copic's. For the glasses, I coloured abit with a muted colour of the mouse/grass/sand and then went over it with the blender pen, then added the blue on top carefully. Then I liguid glassed all the glasses. It looks quite neat IRL but here, you can't tell. Anyhow. The stamp is a House Mouse stamp. The PP is by BoBunny.
