Bunny Hoyle - Poppystamps Guest Designer

I have the honor and pleasure of being a 

Guest Designer for Poppystamps this month. 

The challenge PSC #118 is: Good Day Sunshine

We would love to have you join us this month and view your lovely creations and how you interpret the challenge. For all the information about the challenge please click on the link above.

The challenge for this month is spot on for July. It definitely is full on summer and full of sunshine. I used one of my favorite dies from the Poppystamps Nordic line. Although I have an extensive collection of the lovely Nordic line I have many favorites. Their Nordic Fanfare Butterfly makes me think of sunshine along with with the nice yellow and gold mirror card stock. 

Poppystamps - Nordic Fanfare Butterfly die

Poppystamps - Nordic Flourish Background die

Poppystamps - Small Stained Glass Butterfly

I used the Poppystamps Small Stained Glass Butterfly as an accent to the card. I can't wait to use it ON a card. I love the vellum wings and I can't wait to create with a variety of colors. This is really a fun die. I've had to get a special container to put all my Poppystamps in. I have been enjoying them so much.

I was surprised that I was able to use Memento dye ink and stamp on these White wax paper treat bags and it doesn't smear. I colored them in with Copic markers and then placed some candy inside for a little Easter treat to be given out.

I wanted everyone to know that I am stepping down from the House Mouse design team. It has been my great pleasure and honor to call the House Mouse Challenge my home for the past 6 and 1/2 years. My team mates have been very kind and it's been a good home for me. A big thank you to my team mates and to the very generous sponsors who have donated prizes to so many of you that  play in our challenge and will continue to do so. I look forward to seeing you all in blog land as usual. 

Welcome back to the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge where our challenge is always Anything goes with an option. Our option this fortnight is: Valentine or pink/red and is hosted by my team mate Sue Kment.

Last year I asked if anyone had any unused postage stamps as I'd like to have them for mail art. I like to participate in Kristina Werner's Mail Art monthly but I also like to work on mail art to send cards to family and friends. I will say it is a labor of love.  Kristina Werner is a master at Mail Art. If you've never seen Kristina's videos please view a few of them on YouTube. You will  be amazed at her work. 

My House Mouse team mate, Sue Kment and my friend Darnell Knauss sent me some unused postage stamps and oh what fun it was to get them. Then my husband asked his cousin if she had any. Y'all, they arrived last week. Some are still sitting on my dining room table as I am going to meet with the local stamp collector's club next week to purchase some stock books. OMG! I was stunned at the amount of stamps his cousin sent me. They aren't worth anything other than face value which is great because I don't want expensive stamps. I'm not collecting them, I am using them. The stamps of the owls and the trees were glued down to thick black paper. I thought these were great but I couldn't use them. Or so I thought. The president of the local stamp club said put them in cold water and after a while they'll sink down to the bottom and seperate. It worked. I'll be able to use them by adhering with a glue stick. He said he's gotten what looks like bricks of stamps all stuck together and he just throws them in the bath with cold water. Who knew?

Here is the first picture of group 1

This is the 2nd picture of group 2

These are the stamps that were glued down to  thick black card stock and magically came un-glued with nothing but cold water and time. These are lovely stamps. Most of the stamps I received I've never seen before.
