I'd like to show you a card made with Waltzing Mouse stamps and I'd like to tell you about Claire Brennan who owns it, and her "Nice List".
Claire asked people to leave a comment on her blog before Christmas for a giveaway of stamps, asking for the person who would be top of your Nice List. She told us about her lovely neighbour who has done a great job of restoring a kitchen dresser. I'm having a sad time at the moment and was moved to leave a comment about how helpful my friends have been, especially my friend Morag. Claire picked her random winner of a prize but also picked my comment for a spot prize. The twist with this giveaway was that it was for both the commenter and for the Nice Person. I am so lucky to have beautiful sets of WM stamps and also a sumptuous treat for Morag who is not a stamper.
So this card is saying a big THANK YOU to friends everywhere, all my kind crafty friends who read my blog and a Thank You to Claire who I have never met but who is clearly a generous and kind person. Oh and by the way her stamps are pretty amazing too!
Card uses Large Dainty Doilies stamps and sentiment from Say it Loud. I've based it around this week's Waltzing Mouse sketch challenge. Lace, gems and white heat embossing.
My card is for:
Waltzing Mouse - sketch
Shopping our Stash - lace
Craft your Passion - no patterned paper
Stampin' for the Weekend - embossing
Allsorts Challenge - free and easy
Drunken Stampers - something new (my gorgeous new stamps!)
Lovely stampings of the doily on this! How wonderful you won some stamps from Claire!
