I’m a big fan of Waltzingmouse Stamps, and I have been meaning to join the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge ever since they got started. Their first challenge in this new year is a color challenge, which I combined with this week’s sketch challenge on SCS (SC469).
Even though WMS stamps are clear, I still like using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to try and place all images on the paper just right. The circle image on the sentiment panel was stamped on a scalloped circle die-cut. Afterwards I used a brown marker to color the tips of the scallops that were still showing the tan card stock, and I also went around the edge of the die-cut for a cleaner finish.
Thanks for stopping by!

My cousin recently graduated as a Doctor of Medicine and I am so very proud of her. This is the card I sent to congratulate her on her accomplishment. I used one of last month’s Viva la Verve! sketches to create this 5″ x 5″ card.

I, too, have succumbed to the Silhouette craze! And now that I have used my Portrait for the first time, I wonder what took me so long. Thanks to the wonderful teachers in A Cut Above on onlinecardclasses.com, I am up and running with this wonderful electronic cutting machine. The digital die cut by Ali Edwards used on this card is one of the free downloads in this on-line class.

I am still working on my Christmas cards and there was a lot of wonderful inspiration to be found in Featured Stamper sistersandie‘s gallery today. I CASEd her CAS245 ~ Holly Branch card, but made a few changes. My card base is dry-embossed Kraft cardstock, and instead of adding a golden embellishment I stamped the Christmas sentiment with gold ink.
