Merry and Bright

 Good evening, a quick post from me tonight.

I've been playing with the cheeky little house mice again today. I pulled out one of my Joanna Sheen CDS that has these delightful creatures as digital images so I printed a sheet off and colored them:

Just look how cute they are all curled up among the fairy lights!

I colored them with Copic markers, matted them onto green cardstock and put to one side while I did my card base. For this I used a Tonic Merry & Bright die to cut the sentiment into one of my mats. I then cut the bottom part of the die 4 more times with green, yellow, blue and silver cardstock so I could fill in the lights and ornaments.

I then added a second mat of digital design paper covered in ornaments. Finally I added my little mice!

Thanks for stopping by, I ma entering this card into the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge which this time is anything goes with using a die or punch as an optional theme

It's a House Mouse kind of Birthday

Good Morning, We still have snow on the ground but I'm kind of getting used to it now!

My card today is my first card for the Papercraft Business Challenge design team. I was on this team a while ago but life kind of got in the way and I had to step down but Lisa's has happily let me rejoin them.

The theme of the challenge is anything goes with an optional theme of animals - show us your critter makes and you get an extra entry in the draw!

My card is using the Cute House Mouse designs:

All  the elements are from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse collection. I love these little mice and there are so many of them in print and stamp version.

I printed them out onto white card, added some pink and green card for layering and matched up some coordinating ribbon. 

The spring colors make me hopeful that the snow will soon be gone!
