One Sleeping Mouse and Three Dancing Reindeer

Hi, everyone!

'Tis the season to make Christmas crafts. And, I have two projects to share that couldn't be more different in style.

 

One Sleeping Mouse

So, let's start with the sweet one, which I'm going to link up to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Tag It Challenge.

Three Dancing Reindeer

original post

You might remember that uber-talented Leslie over at The Crooked Stamper chose one of my cards as the inspiration for CSSC #11 and invited me to join her as a Guest Designer. Naturally, I was quite flattered and went to work making the card at the right for Leslie's challenge.

Truth be told, I had a different card in mind -- a rather twisted take on dancing, playful reindeer -- when I ordered this Mama Elephant adorable stamp set. And, I made two -- and only two -- of this card: one for my dad and one for my brother. This card is going to be linked up to the current Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog Holly Jolly Stamping Challenge.

Sound familiar? If my brother heard this admonition once we heard it dozens of time. So, when I saw the little eye patch in the Lawn Fawn Booyah set... Forgive me, but I just couldn't resist the temptation to make these for my dad and 'lil bro.  Sorry, Rudy.  :(

Parting Thoughts
