Today I am pleased to announce to you that I have been asked as a repeat designer for Create with Connie & Mary New Catalog Edition 2012 and the preview period has already begun. I am super excited to be a part of this design team! I am on schedule as the fourth preview in a line-up of six each week. During the “Preview Week”, each design team member has a FREE special project to share. The projects we share during the preview period give you an idea of what you can expect from your subscription to Create with Connie & Mary New Catalog Edition 2012. Keep reading for details, we are also offering BLOG CANDY!
I have a funny little story that goes with my “Preview Project”. When we get going on a new edition, we submit our project ideas to Connie & Mary for approval first………they weren’t too sure about this “mouse trap” thing at all…..of course until I explained into more detail and almost said “trust me”. The word mouse I think is what did it! So here is my “Preview Project” and yes it is made out of clean and new mouse traps:
Eek! Fun & different idea!
OMG! I saw something similar on Pinterest and have been wanting to give it a try. Now I have no excuse and I like yours much better. Thanks so much for bringing this project to Create with Connie and Mary's New Catalog Event!
Very Creative! I love it! Looking forward to seeing what else you have plannned for the New Catalog Edition!
Love this mouse trap idea for 'trapping' items that get lost. Off to the store for new traps. Thanks for sharing.

What an awesome idea for a Memo Holder and to also show off the New In Colors at the same time!!! Love it Debbie !!
WOW this is very different, love it!
How fun is this! Just so it doesn't catch any real mice!
How clever you are Debbie!! This is so novel and quite a conversation piece. Love it.
Super project, your creative mind is awesome. This will be a hit at my next workshop, I can see Christmas all over it.
Thanks for sharing your time and talents with the rest of us.
Have a blessed day and don't stop stampin'.
