Now I want you to know there is a method to my madness...The challenge this week is School Time! (and yes, last challenge I made a "school time" type card as well) ...... I have two daughters and they are both school teachers...do you think I would get away with sending one of them a HM school card and not the other???? I think they would certainly give me the business if I did that!
This card takes me back to my first house mouse stamping days. I did not have very many HM stamps when I started out, so I bought individual meeces and included them in scenes with other stamps, or just used " bits and meeces" of a stamp to change it up a wee bit. If you look down below, here is the stamp I used. In this case I cut the mouse out of the scene and used it on my card. It really is a great way to stretch your stamps.
I hope you can join us for challenge #79 and bring on your School Time creations!
