So here we go with the inspiration part......
Our lovely hostess Natasha has set the theme of "birthday" of course and to add the optional choice of including LOTS of flowers!!  Oh I just LOVE lots of flowers...so I had to add some...

And what could be better than a sweet mouse blowing out his birthday wish of MORE CHEESE!! LOL!!  This is certainly NO DAY for JUST a sliver!! (sentiment from Stampin' Up!)  I've used a stamp from the darling House Mouse Unmounted/Balloons stamp set!  I was going for a bit of a shabby chic look by painting all of the flowers and metal cheese charm I've add to my lay out.  So I've used lots of flowers and even incorporated flowers in my background papers!

I would also like to enter this creation in the following other challenges:
Cards & More - sketch
