Welcome to House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #121-Here Comes The Sun!
Isn't this House Mouse stamp stinkin cute? It really just makes me smile! Although we are still waiting for summer to arrive here in Oregon, I know it is not far off!
I stamped and cut up the image, adding a second colored umbrella on pop dots. I then added a few layers of 'sand' and 'waves' on pop dots as well. I used my EK Success sand castle border punch and also my Fiskars wave punch-love those punches!. To finish off my summer creation- I added a fun DeNami sentiment!
Challenge #121 is sponsored by Simon Says Stamps-with a gift card for $25! I know I would love to get my hands on one of those!
I hope you can pop on over to the blog and check out the rest of the amazing creations for this challenge!
Thanks for stopping in today...I am always so tickled to hear from you!

This is one of the cutest cards I think I have every seen in my life. I love the way you have designed this - it is the perfection of wonderfulness. The die cuts are out of this world and I do have to say, I laughed out loud at these cute mice. I am making a promise to make some House Mouse cards after the summer is over. They are incredibly cute. I love this card Sue!!!!

I just cannot help but make another comment. Great idea for the embossed sky and the way the sand changes colors is - well -- you thought of everything except for the suntan lotion! I am just gonna sign this your secret pal and then no one will know I posted twice.
