HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE # 101 - ATC'S

First I have to thank everyone who made our 100th challenge and celebration Blog Hop such a great success.  Thank you everyone who hopped along and entered a card.

#9 - Mary Anne K - Lakeside Stamping

Congrats, ladies, please email me at rsdrees@verizon.net with your name and address just as it should appear on the mailing label and I will get your goodies right out to you.

Now on to challenge # 101 - ATC's

Our new challenge was chosen by our talented teamie, Lori.  She wants us to make an ATC (Artist Trading Card)  This is a 2.5" x 3.5" sized creation.  You can layer it on a card or just make an ATC.  Remember you must use a House Mouse, Gruffie, or Happy Hoppper image.


I used this adorable BRAIN FREEZE, HMUR-1051 Stamp.  Colored with Copic Markers.  Baker's twine from Pizzazz Aplenty. Sentiment done with a small alphabet stamp set.



On the back, I made a pocket with the orange textured card stock.  The beach border is
EK Success.  Distressed the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.  Stamped sentiment onto white card stock then mounted on the orange card stock and used a ticket corner punch on all corners.  Punched a hole in the top and tied a pull string with the baker's twine.

Don't forget to check out the design teams inspiration at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge Blog Site, along with the winners from our fabulous blog hop prizes.

    What is it about these little trading cards? I just love them, so tiny but somehow more special that a big card.

    (They also make me run to the craft table and create my own. HA HA)
