New Beginnings

The House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge blog is having a "New Beginnings"  Challenge.  

I decided to join in the challenge as I have quite a few "New" things going on in this "New" year.  

For the challenge I decided to try my hand at a shaker card.  On the House Mouse yahoo group that I belong to, one of the members made shaker New Year's cards.  So as I have never made one before, I thought that would be a great project to do.  

So here's my "Shake Me Up" card to Celebrate my

new beginnings.

This challenge is for "New Beginnings", well I have a few "new" things going on.  I started this New Year as a "new" designer for the Whimsy Stamps Digital DT.  YEAH !!!!!!

This is a close up of my House Mouse image that I used.

House Mouse B-day card

Happy Tuesday....  Today's post is a B-day card that I made for a friend that works at Stamp-ede Rubber stamping store here in York, PA.  Rox don't look......  I used a House Mouse stamp and colored with Copic markers. 

I used one of my new dies that I got from the Heirloom convention back in Sept.  I decided to do a shaped card and these dies are great for that. The dies are from Dies Direct and it is the French Scalloped Flair.

The image is stamped on Cryogen white cardstock and colored with my Copic markers (listed at the end of this post). .  I add alot of stickles (unfortunately it doesn't show on the picture). 

I will try from now on to list what color Copics that I used on each card.
