Happy Times

This is my card for this fortnights House Mouse and Friends Challenge, the theme is Food and I have only just made it in time.  I have used a fabulous image from Joanna Sheen's Fruit and Nut Decoupage Sheets cut out with a Spellbinders circle die.


I really enjoyed my two months Guest Designing for them recently and it has inspired me to use more of my House Mouse stash - of which there is plenty!

I have embossed the white background panel with a Darice embossing folder and punched the bottom with a Fiskars edge punch, the green spotty papers are from the DCWV Nana's Kitchen collection.  A LOTV sentiment, a couple of other Spellbinders die cuts, flower, button and string from my stash complete my card.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge 148 - Food
Melonheadz Friends Challenge - Emboss it
Creatalicious Challenge 52 - All about summer
Emergency Crafters - Summer Days & Holidays
Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge 108 - Summer Fun

Allsorts Challenge Week 215 - Fur and Feathers

The weather is glorious here today, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.

    Good Morning, Pauline, love your little housemousie card - I have never really thought about creating a more elegant background like your card, and it really looks outstanding! I especially like the little guy carrying the single strawberry on his back - Love how you fussy cut him so very carefully. Your strawberries look real and yummy! Wonderful card. hugs, de

    This is such a sweet image - just perfect for a summer birthday card, or any other summer themed card really! I like how some of the image goes over the edge of the circle and your choice of neutral colored background. Cute!
