House Mouse and Friends-Let's Get Fruity #123

Welcome to Challenge #123 at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge-Let's Get Fruity!

You probably all know that I am currently right in the middle of cherry harvest where I work, so of course I would have cherries on my mind!  I fashioned this card from a card I made many, many years ago when I first started stamping House Mouse cards-- 10 years ago!

Before I forget...the winner of my Meece blog candy is-Carol at Our Little Inspirations! Send me an email Carol and I will get your stamp in the mail!

When I first started making cards with the meeces, I only had individual mouse stamps. Back then I would make scenes with the meece. They played with the Peanuts gang and the Penny Black crew...whoever was hanging around at the time! A great way to stretch your stamps.

Now here's a confession...I am a paper hoarder LOL!  When I get paper I LOVE- I hate to use that last piece..... This great black and cherry paper is from SU! several years ago, and this is almost the last tiny piece of it (sniff, sniff). And...the fun plaid ribbon is from my precious retired SU! stash too!

Yep-I cut loose with this one!



Our sponsors for this challenge are:

 A $25 gift certificate from Simon Says Stamps

A $10 gift certificate from I Love Sweet Stamps.

I hope you join us for this challenge! There are tons of house mouse stamps out there with fruit, or lots of fruity designer paper, or maybe even fruity sentiments! HA!

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #103-Add a recipe

The challenge over  at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge is a recipe card or creation!

Our wonderful sponsors this week are KnK Designs (3 free digi's) and Pizazz Aplenty.($10 gift of embellishments) 




Yep, looks like Mudpie has been up to no good today. Dipping into the chocolate frosting for sure!


Today is my Dad's 81st birthday and I always make his favorite cake...German Chocolate with the chocolate frosting and  delish Coconut Pecan topping. Oh boy did I blow my diet making this stuff! I intended to take a pic of the frosting, but oopsie...I forgot! Must have been on a sugar high LOL!  The recipe comes straight out of my old Betty Crocker cook book. I made this card a 4x6 so I can start a real recipe book!


Because it has been a busy week, I chose to keep this very simple (which basically means I ran home and whipped this up after eating  cake!) Yes, I am a last minute lizzie!


I printed the recipe directly onto the paper and added the cut out  meeces "strategically" around the words.
I used some pink polka dot Stampin' Up paper from one of their big designer paper pads. I used a pretty Martha Stewart border punch and added some pearls along the edge.


I love the fact that the tattletale is trying to be quiet...possible because he wants a taste too????


I hope you can find time to play along this week...what a great way to share your favorite recipe!
