Christmas Carrots

It's time for our mid challenge reminder at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge and this fortnight our theme is: Lost and Found chosen by Heather. You seem to be finding this a difficult theme but it's not that difficult really, take a look at the DT inspiration - it's very open to your interpretation.

I have used an image from Joanna Sheen's Happy Hoppers Decoupage collection - I do love my decoupage even if it does seem to be a little out of fashion at the moment.


My papers are from the NitWit Gentlemen Folk Collection and I have used Kraft card stock.  The sentiment tags are LOTV and I have added some twine and punched stars to embellish.


My interpretation of the theme is:

The Happy Hoppers have LOST their Christmas Tree decorations so they have FOUND some carrots to use instead.

See I told you it was easy.

We have two fabulous sponsors again this time:


http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront

http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront

Who are generously giving a RANDOM ASSORTMENT of some of their Premium Dye Ink Pads to one lucky player.

http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront

and

Pizzazz Aplenty

http://www.pizzazzaplenty.blogspot.com/

Who are giving a surprise package of embellishments worth $15.00.
(Due to increased postage costs, the winner for this prize must reside in the USA)

So what are you waiting for, one of these awesome prizes could be yours if you play along.

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

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge 207 - Animals (No People Allowed)
CHNC Challenge 168 - Going green ... a little or a lot 
CHNC Challenge Extra for March - Anything Christmas

Thank you for popping in today, don't forget to take a look at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge blog to check out the fabulous DT inspiration and join in with our Lost and Found challenge.
