Happy Fourth A Little Late!!



Good Morning Everyone, WOW it has been so long since I have been blogging and crafting!!! I really really miss my hobby, but have been so busy just doing other things in life. I took a little break from making cards and crafting. I really miss all my friends, all the wonderful companies I designed for in the past, playing challenges, and looking at all the inspiration I find here in blogland. I am really hoping to make sometime to get crafty again and more often!!

Today I would like to share a creation with you that I made with this adorable House Mouse image. Geez I can't even remember the last time I played with these cuties :) I really wanted to make this card before the 4th but I just didn't find the time to do it. So I was looking through paper playful challenges and noticed there are still a bunch of fun challenges to play for the Fourth of July. So I decided to use these cuties to make a card for a few challenges. Hope you enjoy my creation!!


Oh my, aren't these little mice too adorable???  I just adore these sweet images and I sure miss coloring them up. They are so detailed and so fun to color :) Thanks so much for taking a peek!!

It's always good to step away from something and return later with a fresh enthusiasm. You've really rocked the American spirit in this delightful creation! Sure was great to meet you IRL earlier this year! Still makes me smile. ;)
