Waltzingmouse March New Release Waltz...

Hello!  Welcome to the Waltzingmouse March New Release Waltz!  Today is the day that all three new sets (A Good Egg, Folk Art Labels No. 25, & Folk Art Medallion) are available for purchase!

If you've arrived here from Julia's blog, then you are right on track!  If you are just popping in, then hop on over to Claire's blog and she will get you started!  You will definitely want to visit each blog, and leave a little comment love along the way, as there is a PRIZE up for grabs!  One lucky commenter will win some shiny new Waltzingmouse goodies!  Just make sure to leave your comments before March 11th at 11:59 PM (GMT), 5:5 9AM Central (March 12), 3:59 AM Pacific and 6:59 AM Eastern.  The winner will be announced over at Claire’s blog on Wednesday, March 13th!

For my first project, I created a shabby style tag using two of the newly release sets!  I started by stamping the large medallion (from the Folk Art Medallion set) on to the center of the tag using some similar colored ink.  For the focal image, I stamped the label (from the Folk Art Label No. 25) and layered on a glitterfied (my word :-) chipboard bird.

For my second card, I again used the new Folk Art Medallion set.  I created my own background using three different images from the set.  The sentiment (and itty bitty medallion) is also from the Folk Art Medallion set.

Ready for more inspiration?  Next up on the waltz is Sarah!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hugs, Laurie
