BSS IDEA - HERE KITTY, KITTY

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

Happy New Year!

Took me two days to get all the Christmas decorations down

packed away and back down to the basement.

I'm excited to get up to the stamp store, because I received a very

generous gift certificate from my hubs for Christmas.

AND, looking forward to new stamps that will be coming

in for Spring.

I had a bunch of Lavinia Stamps that I hadn't used yet, so

I made a card for this week to show you.

SNOWBUNNY

Merry Christmas to all my blogging friends.

We had a wonderful Day with family.

What was your favorite gift of the holiday?

Mine is a hand-carved rubber stamp, made by

my thoughtful, beautiful and talented Granddaughter.

Megan is in her third year of College.  She is majoring

in Art, and wants to be an Art Teacher.  She is hard

working and has set goals for herself.

So yesterday morning I got up went up to the stamp room

and inked up the stamp she made me and created a card.

After many interruptions, I finally finished it.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great day.

Until later..........

WOODY

Well, I am almost ready. I have wrapped, decorated, and for two days now

baked and cooked for Christmas Eve.  Such a busy time, but also

so much fun.

I thought I would show you a card I made for my Grandson for Christmas.

I mailed it to him, but didn't here back from him.  Busy Busy.

The stamp is called Woody, and it is one of Stampendous' Curio stamps.

The background threes is from Whimsy and is a Dove Craft Design.

Glitter paper for the snowy bottom and sponged in the background sky..

The pup in the front seat actually looks like their rescue dog Lily.

Our pup let us take her picture in front of the Christmas tree today

with a Santa Hat.  It kept falling off, but we pushed through and

got a picture.

Good Girl Keeya!

That's all for me today.  

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Challenge #281 begins today at the

HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE

This is our last challenge for 2018 
returning from a Holiday Break on Monday
 January 7, 2018 

***********************************
ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES
***********************************

I made four ornaments using the Stampendous miniature clear stamps
that you can only get at a Stamp Store.  And the Angel is from a
Christmas Clear set from Stampendous

Christmas Tree with Angel - Ceramic tree purchased at Hobby Lobby.
I inked the tree with Green Oxide ink let it dry for awhile, then brush
clear tacky glue on the entire tree.  I then sprinkled some sparkly glitter over
the entire tree and let it dry.  I colored up the Angel after emobssing it in
gold embossing powder and fussy cut it out.  I used pop dots to adhere
to the mouse, but I used a hot glue gun to adhere the pop dots to the tree
as the glitter on the tree would not allow them to stick.

Mouse in Santa hat - I filled the acrylic bauble with fake snow, and colored
up the cute little Santa Hat Mouse with Copics,then die cut the image with
a circle die from Gina Marie. Adhered the circle to designer paper cut from
the next largest die from the same set.  Adhered to the bauble. Bow and tag
with sentiment that came with the stamp added.

Candy cane mouse on snowflake- This was a glazed ceramic snowflake
that I have had in my stash, purchased from one of the big box craft stores.
I inked half the snowflake and added clear embossing powder.  I heat the
embossing powder, but you must be careful, as the ceramic gets hot, so
you can only do half at a time so you can hold onto the ornament. I colored
the image with Copics, added pop dots and used the heat gun to attach to
the glittered snowflake.

Mouse with Antlers on mitten - This is a wooden ornament.  I covered it
with designer paper, cut a piece of brown corregated paper for the cuff
portion of the mitten, inked the recessed parts with a darker brown marker.
Colored the image with Copics, fussy cute it out and adhered it and the sentiment
to the mitten.
