<p>I have a nice collection of wood mounted House Mouse stamps and although i love the designs I find it hard to get a perfect impression the first time, The clear HM stamps are perfect every time! Right now they only have the Halloween and Christmas sets available but I hope they offer more clear sets soon.</p>

<p>I love this  pillow box  file, I&#8217;ve designed others but this stays closed better than any others I tried. You can get the free cut (cricut DS users) file as well as svg files to cut with your cricut (if you have <a href="http://www.craftedge.com/index.php?rfid=4291406&amp;ref=c05943995fc9e9df4a0b0672d997478d">SCAL software</a>) from<a href="https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/free-adjustable-pillowbox-template/"> this post</a>.</p>

<p>My friend <a href="http://www.desertdesignsstudios.com/blog/">Shannon</a>, sent me some Copic Spica glitter pens in the mail and they are so fun! I outlined the &#8220;trick or treat&#8221; on one card and in this card I colored the whole image (after first coloring it with my bics) I love the shimmer it gives but I think they are best for coloring in smaller areas. She also mailed me some baubles that she got at <a href="http://www.crafting-connection.com/index.html">Crafty Connections</a>.</p>
