I could never use a mouse trap to catch a little mouse. How cruel is that?...so when I heard that a swap was being done and they were altering mouse traps to keep little notes on the fridge, I jumped on board.  What fun this was...giggled and giggle I had so much fun doing them.... The birdie one is for my fridge and the other two have gone on to new homes.  I put magnets on the back so they stay nice and firm on the fridge.  I think I will go and do another one but in steampunk this time....oh boy I'm hooked.....

Below are some of the 17 atcs I did for my local scrapbooking shop.  We were having a swap and the theme was Things That Fly.  It was great fun to do. I love doing atcs.

I have a small studio and I am always needing space.  I wish this was my idea but I have seen it floating around for a while now and it sure hit the nail on the head for organizing.  I took the old extra dvd cases we had left over from when my hubby and I have our movie business.  They are thicker than the newer slim cases.  I pulled out the back plastic part that sits inside and holds the dvd in place.  then I put in (on their mylar backing) my cling free stamps.  Now if the set is too big I just cut it in half and put the front showing the stamp and under that I put a cut piece of white paper and under that I put the other half with the stamps facing out the back of the case...so you can turn it over from front to back and see what's in there....I also mounted my rubber stamps the same way.  The mounted stamps I put in the same colour plastic boxes so whenever I see the blue plastic flat boxes (fromMichaels) on the shelf right away I know it is stamps...of course I labelled them anyway...(I like labelling).  All my non word stamps went in one case and the word stamps went in the other case.  My seasonals stamps are all kept together in another case....the dvd cases will fit nicely in a file drawer, shoe box type of case etc. and certainly saves space and time when looking for stamps.

These are some cards I made...not my idea my girlfriends but she let me make the same as hers....she is an excellent card maker.....

this card I made for my darling hubby from our Cats...Ms Cali Cat and Silly Salem....inside I put double sided tape on the little saying pocket so we could tuck some $$ in there towards the sand wedge he wanted...

this card was made for Father's Day for my son in law...so the idea on some blog and thought it was so cute I did my idea of it...My s-i-l is really a very good golfer so I just thought this was too cute to pass up.
