Circle Journal House Mouse

Stamps: Stampendous 'Morning Kick Start', Gina K sentiment. Cardstock: My Mind's Eye 'Simply Delightful', Papertrey white. Ink: Memento black, Copics, Chocolate Chip. Accessories: Long Rectangle Nestabilities, Ribbon trio Nesties, Stardust glitter pen, silk ribbon.

A very talented stamping buddy, Deb (Freckle-Face Printworks) invited a few of us stampers to join a circle journal group. She created an amazing album with pockets for us to decorate each section in our style and then include projects, ideas, or goodies to share with everyone else. I just finished my round with the journal and admiring all the other participant's artwork and contributions.

This first page's layout was inspired by Tuesday Morning Sketches #18 and the subject of my original stamping obsession, the House Mouse stamps. Add in coffee and you have another of my obsessions!

I'll post the three additional pages in separate installments. It was fun to narrow down my stamping stash to items that I felt represented me and my interests. Thanks for another great round, Circle Journal friends!!

  9. I do think of you when I see this terrific House mouse image, especially because we have been HM buddies forever and hmm, warm relaxing coffee reminds me of all the sweet goodies you sent me in my first ever Secret Sister swap. We always need time to ourselves to relax and meditate, right?! (even if they are few and far better) Hugs, Kel
