♥: Thanks to good hearts like you!

Thanks to good hearts like you!

Today I want to say a special thank you for those whom frequent my blog because I really do appreciate it. Because of you, I find a reason to create and share my love for crafting. Much thanks and ♥ for helping me to do this. Tonight I am dedicating some time to catch up on my blurfing. I think I have a thousand posts to review so I am plan on making a hot beverage and catching up.
For now, I want to share two cards. The first is for Penny's and features Karen's Doodle's Bigsby, the cutest little mouse! He's cute because he's on paper. IRL, not a fave creature for me. I can handle one anywhere but in my house. :-)

I started with a white cardbase and then layered with a Fancy Pant's print paper for the top and then the bottom is a Terresa Collin's Christmas paper ledger. I love using themed papers for everyday use. I have been hoarding this scrap for some time. I added a large rick rack trim stapled with my tiny attacher. The sentiment is from SP & Co's Bold Sentiments stamped with black ink and a little red button for embellishing. I did add two craft colored photo corners for the image because I wanted it to look finished.

Challenges I would like to enter this card in:

Crafty Boots Challenge: Zoo or Animal

Lollipop Crafts: #52 Critters

Ruby's Rainbow: #14 Cute and Cuddly

Paper Shelter: #35 We Love Animals

My next card is for Crafty Creations. Another scrap paper feature.

I used Sass Lass (sad to read they are closing their doors), American Crafts, and Crate Paper (read about it being bought by American Crafts here) for this. The image is a Stretch n Bubbles I won and decided fit perfectly with this K Andrew sentiment. That's a Westrim pom pom fiber stapled again with my tiny attacher. Can you tell I love it? :-)

Challenge I would like to enter this card in:

Crafty Cardmakers: #53 Anything Goes

Stampin Sisters in Christ: #110 Anything Goes

Woodware USA: #47 Anything Goes

Okay, the vegan chili is burning! Off to check again. Have a great evening and thank you again!

Really adorable cards. Love that little mouse guy and his big apple. Great use of your themed paper scraps, too, and I adore the big ric rac. And what a fun tree card that is.
