MMSC8 and HM# 44

Hello everyone!

I got to play a bit this week and combined the House Mouse Challenge #44 (to use Paper Tole) with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 8. I love these sketches! Here is a link to the sketch this week.

This one is soooooo not my typical style! LOL! I tend more to the lightly elegant... not fussy but just classy. Well, this Basic Grey Euphoria is pretty busy! But you know... I like it and since our Church is in need of cards for kids and teens I thought this might be perfect for that!

My Happy Hopper is from Stampabilities and is called "It's a Party". I stamped with Stazon Jet Black and colored with Prisma Pencils and blended with Odor Free Mineral Spirits. I stamped the image a second time and cut out the hat and cake for the tole challenge. The circle element to the sketch is a Nesties Blossom cut from Cool Caribbean cs. The base of the card is Purely Pomegranate. The DP is BasicGrey Euphoria. The flowers are from K&Co. I added Stickles to the frosting.

I had fun with this one. If you haven't played the Midnight Madness Sketch yet... try it... you'll like it!!! There is a link in my Right Side Bar that will take you right to it. If you link your card by Sunday night you'll be entered in a drawing for some great prizes!!!

I hope you all had fun on yesterday's Our Daily Bread Designs Blog Hop! I know we all had a blast!!

I have a ton going on this weekend and lots of company coming... I hope you all have a great weekend! Happy 4th of July to all my American friends!!!

    Hello Grace. I've admired your work on SCS for some time now but have not visited your blog before. Did you take the picture on the left of the sunset over the river??? OMG!!! That is amazingly beautiful. God never ceases to amaze me!

    I love House Mouse too! Great take on our sketch this week! Thanks for playing with us and can't wait to see what you make next week!
