Mouse Waltz

 Here's my masculine card

If you have been keeping up with me here you will see that I have been enjoying Claire's Waltzingmouse Waltzes. They are scheduled for the 17th of each month and June is no different! but if you're here for the hop you know all this, so let's cut to the chase. I have a blog that I visit and comment on on a regular basis. She has been my inspiration for simple cards. Very simple and this one shall be no exception. there is not a lot of work in a one layer card but the process to get to it is not simple. Not for me anyway. I think a great card needs 'stuff', and lots of it. So simple is extremely difficult for me. I usually fall asleep, after the whole prayer thing, after the simple card on my mind issue. It is now that the process starts evolving, these few minutes before the eyes close and the brain shuts down and my body starts to heal itself from all the stress I put on it during the day. It is now that my eye starts to see things, leaves, lines, sentiments, etc. When I wake up in the morning the thoughts are still there and I can't wait to run down to my CR and pull out my WMS sets and start creating. Well, thinking first and then more thinking and deciding on colors, papers, stamp, etc. This card came to me June 6th and I made it June 7th. Wrote the post June 9th............. all for your enjoyment..........well mine, too! Ten days early, TEN! almost unheard of in my life due to procrastination and bad timing.

Since I already talked your ear off and it is quite simple. the only things you need to know are: Big Blossoms-Chrysanthemums, Irish Blessings, Handsome Hunter, Craft White, white gel pen, black ink pad!

Are you curious as to who is my simple inspiration?


This waltz, like a hop, has no links to the before and after crafter's blog. For WMS 'hops' you can go to WMS forum, register, and then see all the creations there. Claire has a secret link to view all blogs during a waltz without really leaving the forum. it's quick and easy and no waiting for the blog you want to visit to 'load'. Here's the link for the WMS forum: Waltzingmousehouse.com

Here's where I go for simple, fun, fantastic cards, and a big laugh or awwww on most days. My inspiration!
