Summer in the Sun with House-Mouse Designs


Summer is here! My kids are free from school and it's going to be a challenge keeping them in one place for long. If they are outside having fun like the House-Mouse Designs are for this week's Stampendous theme week then I'm all for it!

Today I have a Dragonfly Ride card to share. Had SO MUCH fun coloring this one looking at dragonfly wings for colors that popped out at me.

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time.

And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
