Happy Birthday House Mouse Challenge...

The House Mouse Challenge has been around for two whole years and they are celebrating with an anniversary blog hop and a fantastic sketch challenge to mark the event.  I chose to use my House Mouse ballerina stamp which my daughter bought me.  How cute is that mouse?  The papers are some that have been in my stash for years.  I think the patterned ones were in a huge bundle by Papermania and the plain card is by DCWV.  

My card is also for the challenges at...
  • Crafty Creations - Music and Dance
  • Practical Scrappers - Use those buttons (I know the button I've used is not an obvious one, but the flower in the middle of the punched flower is a button.  I had to break the back off it - honest!)
  • Crafty Ann's - Monochrome
 Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.  I'm off to try out some of my new craft stash.

Oh how fabulous is this Ann?? I mean this in the best possible way, but that wee mouse reminds me so much of my niece (both are super cute!) I love it - and I've been meaning to say that I love the new avatar too. :D
