Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

The design team has come up with some great
 inspiration for this challenge.

  So, scurry on over to the

 House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge Blog

and check them out, then get busy and enter a card of your own.

  2 Wonderful prizes on offer.

Please remember, you must use a House Mouse Design image on your entry.

Challenge # 272 runs through Saturday August 18th at midnight EST.

We love to visit  you to see what you come up with to inspire us!!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a good one, until later.......

BSS IDEA - Four Layer Cake

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

Another Monday morning.  

This week we are talking CAKE!  a FOUR LAYER cake.

This wonderful die makes a card shaped like a cakluded

in the set (9 all together)..  Fun design.  Here is what e you

decide how to decorate it with the additional dies incI did.

Die - Sizzix - Cake Fold Its (662738)

Stamp - inside sentiment -Penny Black-Sentiment Collection (30-3550)

White card stock - base

Aqua card stock - frosting

Used a swirl embossing folder from Cuttlebug

White Glitter paper - Frosting between layers 

Candles (dies included) My Favorite Things-

Hearts and Strips 6x6 Paper Pack

Yellow card stock for flame

Orange Copic to color flame on one side

I cute four of the longer candles and three of

the shorter ones, and trimmed a little off

the bottom of each.

I then adhered the longest ones across the

top leaving a space in between each one

then added the shorter ones in between so it

gives the illusion of depth on the top of the

cake.

Plate - Silver Mirror card stock

Blue stones on cake - Pretty Pink Posh

Fun card to send someone their birthday cake that you

aren't able to be with on their birthday!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great week.
