Mouse in the Mirror!!

Thanks Sam for the catchy title!! I love it!! :) So my two boys are obsessed with Michael Jackson at the moment.. to the point where if they hear a Michael Jackson song no matter where we are they break into dance!! It is just hilarious actually! During the school holidays I took the boys to see The Man in the Mirror Reflections of Michael Jackson show and they were just star struck. I thought they would have got up and danced but they just sat there, watching and singing!! I think every day since we went to the show Liam has thanked me for taking him!! He really did love it!! And recently, to my son's delight,  Whiff of Joy released a MJ Henry digi stamp. So of course I bought it and we have all been busy creating!!!. Liam sat down the other night and made a few cards for his friends which he was very proud of!!
This is his card that he made for himself!!

Liam coloured  MJ henry in with my whispers markers and he used some clear smooch on the glove and on the white strip of the hat! to give it some sparkle!. He said the blue sparkle paper was the stage and then he stuck MJ henry on top and added the stars!! He was very pleased with the job that he did!! As was I!! My boys really love colouring and making cards with me!! I will post Logan's card tomorrow! He hasn't finished his yet!!

And here are my creations using MJ Henry!!

I decided to photograph this card on my program I bought from the Michael Jackson History World Tour back in 1996 at Wembley Stadium in London. I think Alison Acton (designer for Whiff of Joy) did a fantastic job capturing who Michael was!!! I coloured MJ Henry in with Tria's and added clear smooch to his glove for that little bit of bling!! I then assembled the card using brown cardstock as the base, added the music paper from Kaszazz, cut out an oval piece of brown cardstock and an oval piece of the kaisercraft striped paper. I then popped MJ on some foam squares and stuck him on top, added the rhinestones around the oval and the added the stars!! I wasn't sure whether I should add anything else so I sent a photo of my card to my friend Sam who is my mentor and inspiration when it comes to card making (check out her blog, she has some stunning creations)and she said I didn't need to add anything to it so I took her advice and left it as is!! Thanks Sam!! If I give it to someone for an occasion I will probably add a sentiment to it..

I then made this bookmark cos Liam wanted a new one as he lost the last one I made him and he wanted the Tickled Pink Lil Lad surfer dude but I decided to surprise him with an MJ bookmark instead!! He was thrilled with it!! I used all the same supplies for the bookmark as I used for the card!! Plus I added the buttons and Raffia. I think it turned out pretty darn good and the only person that needed to be happy with it was!! :)

Until Next Time...Enjoy!! xx
