You can see here one of the first house mouse cards I ever created...back in 2002! Yes, I was a Mouse addict even way back then!
Allison and Sue at Every Thing Old Is New Again had a challenge last week to remake one of the first cards you ever posted to an online gallery. I posted this on my webshots site years ago! I remember being so excited about how cool this card turned out! LOL!!! I have used the same House Mouse stamp and the same background stamp in my remake. I am hoping you are at least thinking this is somewhat of an improvement!
Thanks Sue and Allison for such fun inspiration...sorry to be so late in playing along!
This is also just a wee reminder that the challenge at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge is Happy Birthday...you have until Monday to enter your creation and have an excellent chance to win a great House Mouse stamp too!

AND...if by chance you have played along with the HM&F's Monday Birthday Challenge I will give you a 3rd shot at winning.
This is not the actual Bow Easy, it is called Simple Bows, but it is exactly like a Bow Easy...I am also including a full roll of my fave 5/8 red satin Stampin' Up ribbon...(same red as used on the card above) You have until Monday, July 19th 12 noon PST to enter. This simple tool has turned in to a must have...I use it all the time!

What a fab remake! Love the red highlights and that gorgeous ribbon, it really makes your card 'pop'!
Love the remake! So much more color and what a very sweet and happy card.
Isn't it amazing to look back on some of the old projects and see how we have grown as stampers and how our styles change??? This is soooo cute! Just a few changes really dressed it up!!
Cute card and I love the bow!! I am a follower and thanks for the chance to win.

this is a very nice remake!! Nice that you found the Challenge for you to REMAKE! And i LUV your red RIBBON!! ;-)
How did we ever create cards without such fabulous ribbon and Nesties? What an improvement your card is from the first one! Woot!
It's wonderful to look back at the cards we made in the beginning. Your remake is fabulous.
That little cutie should make any birthday person happy! How adorable!
What a wonderful idea! It's so cool to see how we have grown and developed. Actually, I think both of the cards are gorgeous - the old and and the new take!

Hi Sue, thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog. Well girl you sure have gotten better, not that there is anything wrong with your first card, but wowsers this little house mouse fella remake is adorable!
Wowie, Sue, I would love your first card -- that is until I had seen your remake -- 'cause I love that one more you have come so far and definitely grown in the art of making beautiful things! And, yes, I am one of your followers - but alas, have not done a HM challenge for awhile.
This is so gorgeos! Love the colors and House Mouse of course. Your remake is fab! Thank you for your lovely words on my blog. I have a translation botton now :-)Hugs, Bianca
What a wonderful happy card! Thanks for sharing. I would love a change for the blog candy. Thank you.
WoWzA, Sue, this is a fabulous "do-over!!" And I love the way you've colored this adorable image ... too cute!
Fantastic card, Sue! I can't believe you have the Bow Easy in your blog candy. I got to use one on a crafting weekend in April and it's fantastic, but they don't sell them where I live and I haven't hunted one down on the internet yet. Whoever gets that prize will really enjoy it.
Way to go on your 75,000 blog hits! You're an inspiration!
Hugs from a follower,
