Warmth

Brrr! Still cold out there. At least it is in the positive numbers now! And possible rain this weekend! Yuck! But for now, I'm all snuggly inside with not one, but two woodburners going! Nothing like a fire to keep you warm.

There were a couple of challenges this week that had warmth as their idea. I've been wanting to ink up a house mouse stamp that I've had for a while and this was a great excuse.


When I inked it up and stamped it I got ink smudges around the image. I probably should have called my blog "Ink Everywhere", because that's ususally what happens! Well, I decided to fussy cut it out. Then I thought,  they need a floor to lay on. So I used a wood grain folder. That didn't look right, so I embossed some brick for a wall. I liked that. But it was too plain. I remembered the picture frame stamp and hung that on the wall. The little mouse hole finished it off. I think it is so cute. I just love these stamps!

I'm entering it in Open-minded Crafting Fun (Warmth ;food or clothing), Gruffies and Guests (Anything Goes), Crafting by Design (Think Warm Thoughts), and Kaboodle Doodles (Baby, It's Cold Outside). 

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. How darling! I love it. I wanna be all cozy, snuggled up and asleep. Alas, there is work to be done and a little girl tearing things apart as we speak. Super cute card, Brenda! Love the brick.
