I am glad you didn't put magnets on - I have a stainless steel fridge - it wouldn't stay on  I have screw eyes that I am going to put into the top and will add coordinating seambinding ribbon to hang it in the craft room. It will go so well in there. I will use it to hang inspriation for projects I am working on. Love the papers...recognized it right off the bat...I am such a G45 junky. I thought those flowers were store bought - they are amazing in person - it is hard to see all the detail on them from the picture - but they are just WOW. I did not make the little pendant - I bout it a while back and then didn't have the heart to use it on just anything. I knew I had to save it for you. JCreate - what an awesome mouse trap. Cricut Junky I really like the sequences ont the tower on the back and I also love the fluer di li (sp?) on the front along with all the little details. Ok has anyone not heard from their partner or seen a dc# posted, please let me know. There is one exception and it has been all worked out. Edited by user Thursday, February 28, 2013 5:20:46 PM(UTC)

Thanks Kel...I am so glad you liked it. The flowers were cut with the FLower shop cartridge and then what I do is roll them over and over again until the paper softens and then I spray them with warm water to soften them more after I glued them together. THen I use my fingers and w a quilling tool to roll the edges until they are smooth and turned under a bit...and let them dry overnight... then spread a little glitter glue on them with my fingers to add some sparkle, or sometimes I spray them with Tattered angels glimmer mist. I dont think I can leave that charm on the fridge for long...it is crying out to me to be put onto a necklace !   Made me really happy that I sent you the owl charm ! I was tempted to make an owl themed trap for you but resisted ! Edited by user Thursday, February 28, 2013 5:28:06 PM(UTC)

Ladies I love all the new pics today. I am such a sucker for Parisian and Fleur De Lis and you can't ever go wrong with G45 paper.
Gwynne I am so glad I picked the correct colors. I was a little worried as there are so many shades of those three.

Debbie Glad you liked the Oz theme. It had green in in as well. I am going to see it but will have to wait until after my vacation in Roswell (Fri - Mon) and then off to work in NC for 2 weeks. My trap should be here Monday. I really think my PO is transition area for retirees! It takes soooooooo long to get my mail.

COB, you could not have done a better job on Sheila's mousetrap! It is just awesome. The Moment in Time is perfect.
I'm assuming that is not a stamp you have but a bought embellie? (if it's a stamp, I need it!)
And I love how you colored the TH pine tree with the browns and greens. I've not seen that done that way on that tree and it just looks perfect. Did you use stains or inks or what? And is that a grunge paper diecut or what paper?
Sheila will treasure it!

The Wizard of Oz themed one is also a clever idea too. The Yellow Brick Rd is just perfect for that scction of the trap.
And another clever idea on the one JessieG did - fancying up the mousetrap with the pretty lace.
I know I'm repeating myself, but everyone is doing such a wonderful job on these mousetraps! It's like a breath of fresh air seeing all these new creations!

Sheila will treasure it! The Moment in Time is a fabric embellie from my stash, the pine tree is colored with distress inks (pine needles & gathered twigs) the fisherman/boat is cut from Outdoor Man cart (regular cdstk w/ GA for the water) and the background piece is the state of Maine from 50 States (2 cuts using cereal box and 2 paper)

Crafty Mom - Love how you used a base to have more room to create. I love your design for the trap using all the layers and embellies - beautiful.
Evelyn - Butterfly theme - perfect for Lana. Very pretty.

Lana, both the one you received and the one you sent are both just lovely! You did a great job piling on the embellies and it came out looking awesome!
Kelley - great swap! There have been so many pictures posted this past couple of days that it makes me think all mousetraps have been mailed out on time this month! Is that true? Everyone sure had fun with this month's idea!
Thanks again.
