Waltzingmouse Pajama Party! Bedtime Story Sketch #2

Have you checked out the new Waltzingmouse Pajama Party?  I'm still in love with the idea of staying up all night with a few good friends, chatting and making things.  No you don't need to invite people over to participate - I'm "just sayin" that's what the name Pajama Party makes me think of!!  Don't you remember as a kid - painting each others nails, playing with make up, trying on each others clothes?   That's turned into trying out different products and dipping in to new ink colors!   The idea is simple - just have fun!!

If you've been a fan of Waltzingmouse Stamps for while you will remember the Sketch Challenge every Saturday. I've been missing them too.  It was always a great opportunity to see different ways to use your Waltzingmouse Stamps.  There was also a Blog Party on the 17th of every month featuring a different theme. Claire has been trying to spice things up a bit and give us a chance to have some fun with the newly released stamps.  How often do you purchase a new set of stamps an wait for an excuse to use them?  Now there's no putting it off!  It's time to get inky my friends!    

Here's your chance to get inky with  those newly released stamps and possibly win some blog candy,  or a chance to be guest designer for the next party!!  The categories this time are ..... Tie a Knot In It, Get Nauty, and The Sketch Challenge... Oh and if you didn't get a chance to purchase the newer stamps - a new category has been added called "Golden Oldies".  You can get all the details and link up your design  here. 

I made my card based on the Bedtime Story.  It features die cut and regular stamped flowers from the 2 Step Sprig (sounds like the name of a dance doesn't it?)  with the zig zag background stamped in hot pink. 
So head on over to the Waltzingmouse Makes blog - check the deets and lets get stamping!!
