Sending oodles of love and hugs..

 

So I had a great day today spending most of my day in my craft room and actually do som crafting too ! I took out my box of waltzing mouse stamps and made it a waltzing mouse sunday. 

This card was made using this weeks sketchchallenge of freshly made sketches . I just loved the sketch and think I will join them more often now I got my mojo back again. Sketches are always fun to work with , the just give yu that little kick off to start creating you need sometimes.

I found so much fun challenges so I decided to combine some today..normally I don't do that, I think each challenge deserves it's own project but this just came along the way..so I also enter this card to the Curtain Call challengeblog wich has the theme  smootches  and the Waltzingmouse Fanatics challenge Blog  because I used two differend sets of waltzingmouse stamps.

Heard you needed a lift..

 

I have been playing with my waltzing mouse stamps today , it's been too long . 

It always has been my favorite brand of stamps and still is. I really have to catch up with them there ar so many great new stamps and dies , didn't buy much after beeing a michief maker at the waltzingmouse challengeblog, the blog stopped and I didn''t do much crafting any more as well life kept me busy with other things...But I'm back now and this card  is made with an oldy  half pint heroins the girl version of half pint hero's wich I used for my card with the doodles bug for the pyamaparty of waltzingmouse .

This card is made for the challenge of the Waltzingmouse fanatics challengeblog..a challenge blog especially for those who love waltzingmouse stamps.. I know a lot of you  own at least one set of waltzingmouse stamps so it would be fun if you join me at the challenge too..lets see what you can create for this bi weekly challenge. The theme is anything goes ..easy peasy do what ever you like as long as you use a waltzing mouse stamp.

Oke back to card making . Today I made this one for the Cardabilities scketch #108 I used papers of Iralamijashop and sentimentstamp from waltzingmouse 

Making my own stencils aka masks

 

As you might have noticed I found my way into the artjournalling and mixed media. One of the  things you use for this is a mask or stencil . There are a lot of differend ones from a lot of differend brands. Hard to choose from and if you want t build a nice collection of them it will cost you a lot of money. I thought this can be done cheaper and I am the very lucky owner of a silhouette cameo , so why not cut my own masks right? So I tried cutting them from pagediveders but didn't really like the results , it was not sturdy enough. So now used laminate pouches wich I had run through the laminating machiene..the laminator..and the stencils turn out awsome! the picture shows just a few of the ones I cut out this afternoon..they are nice and sturdy and just as thick as the stencils that you buy in the shop. whoo hoo the laminatepouches I use are very cheap only a few euro's at the Action ( kind of dollarstore ) and the cameo settings I use are knife 9, speed 1 and thickness / pressure33. I won't be able to use this knife for cutting paper again but who cares! I got some great stencils now..
