Happy House-Mouse Friday!

Hello friends & followers!  Happy Friday!  Today I have two cards for your viewing pleasure.  The first is in celebration of House-Mouse Designs birthday, this company that sells the cutest mouse, bunny, bear and other assorted creature images.  My friend Lee introduced me to them and I just ADORE them!  So I made this card using their sweet 'Make a Wish' image and Sketch 350 by Roxie over at Splitcoaststampers to make this card for House-Mouse's birthday celebration challenge:

See?  Are the mousies sweet?  (Please click on the photo for clearer resolution).  The mousies are colored with Copic markers, I added some red pearls to the corners and some glitter to the cupcake's frosting for a little extra sparkle to match the pre-glittered papers from the 'Birthday Extravaganza' stack from Hobby Lobby.  This card also fulfills the following additional challenges as well:

• One Stop Craft Challenge Week 148 - food & drink (hey, cupcakes are food!  LOL!), 
• Clearly Inspired Challenge 36 - glitter (there is some on the cupcake & pre-glittered paper), and
• The Crazy Challenge 84 - Birthdays,
• The Stamping Boutique September Challenge - Come Celebrate with us/Birthdays, 
• Totally Stampalicious - Anything Goes (prizes if there are more than 100 entries - so play along!),
• Creative Inspirations Challenge 129 - Anything Goes, 
• Cute Card Thursday Challenge 182 - Anything Goes, and
• Pile It On Challenge 37 - Layer It (8 layers here).

My second card was created using Sweet N' Sassy Stamps' Sweet Stop Sketch 125 and the recipe from Deb Felt's September Release Challenge at Stamp TV: to use at least 4 colors (light blue, deep red, rosey pink, white), 3 embellishments (rhinestones, ribbon, buttons), two punches or die cuts (the big circle by Marvy-Uchida and the scalloped-edge punch) and 1 image (from Gina K. Designs' 'Warm & Cozy Christmas' set) to make one holiday card (holiday card count = 38, behind where I hope to be this time of year, but not abysmal).

(Again, please click on the photo for clearer resolution).  I just love these colors together!  The papers are from one of DCWV's mat stacks, easy coordination!  This card also fulfills the requirements of the following additional challenges:

• Mary's Sweet n' Sassy Stamps' Release Party Challenge 2 at SCS - to make a holiday card, 
• Janette's Sweet n' Sassy Stamps' Release Party Challenge 3 - 'On the Edge' (to decorate the cards edges - I used an edger punch here), 
• Winter Wonderland - Girly Christmas (there is a little girl here and some pink),
• Frosted Designed Fabulous Friday Challenge - punches,.
• Paper Play Challenge Week 37 - punches & dies, 
• Cute Card Thursday Challenge 182 - Anything Goes,
• Totally Stampalicious - Anything Goes, and
• Fab n Funky Challenge 90  - Eyes Down for Bingo:

Embellishment	Button(s)	Stamped image
Digi image	Ribbon	3 papers or layers
Flower(s)	Sentiment	Die cuts

(I went straight across the top row, with embellishments, buttons, and a stamped image).


That is probably all of the cards I have for you today sadly, but I hope to do LOTS of stamping and crafting this weekend so I hope you will stop by again!  Thanks for taking the time to view my creations and read my ramblings.  Have a wonderful Friday!
