I've got two mousey cards to share today made using new images from From the Heart Stamps. this first one used the image called Winter Post. Kept this one CAS and pretty flat, will be a breeze to mail it. 

My sketch comes from the Deconstructed Sketch #127. I made mine rectangle rather than square to fit in an A2 size envelope.

My second card uses the November Stamp of the month image called Balloon Ride. Perfect image for a birthday or even a congratulations card. You have until the end of November to play along with this challenge!

My sketch for this one comes from Sweet Sketch Wednesday # 232.

Bugaboo Saturday Challenge

Happy Saturday! It's challenge time at the Catch the Bug blog. This week is a theme challenge, Indian Summer.  I looked up the definition on Wikipedia: An Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather, occurring after the end of summer proper. I thought hitting the beach would be a great way to celebrate the unseasonably warm weather. Hope you will play along for a chance to win some Bugaboo images!

My image is called Gus Tidbits - At My Age, I love the Stella and Gus images, they are so funny!
