Hello friends! :) I wanted to mention thanks so much for all of the "get well" wishes sent my way, they're all greatly appreciated...I hope to be feeling better soon!

So today starts a brand new House Mouse & Friends Challenge! Yay!!

I will reveal the winner of the "House Mouse & Friends Birthday BASH Blog Hop" blog candy posted from my blog a bit later in this post...but for now, check this out...

This time we have the lovely HM&F teamie, Sue (Scoopy), that has come up with the fun theme of

CHRISTMAS WITH SPARKLE!  - oh I just love sparkle! :)  Here's what I've done:

Now how stinkin' cute are these little guys?!  This is one of the very first House Mouse stamps that I bought and wanted to be sure to stamp up all of my Christmas cards with it one year....I didn't get as far as I thought I would!! LOL!!  But when you get to play in the House Mouse & Friends challenges each time...it's a great way to try and make up those Christmas cards ahead of time so you don't have to hurry! :)

Anyway, this stamp is called Wrapped and Ready.  I also got the fun matching sentiment to go with it.

In the background, I've also stamped some extra "snowflakes" for added sparkle too!  I've used some special glitter card stock for the background panel and I've used some big crystal flakes for the snow they're standing on and I had these fun shimmer snowflakes from WOC and I placed a rhinestone in the middle of each one of those.  It's also very subtle on the bows the mices are wearing as hats, but I've also used some Spica glitter pens to help me color in for a bit of sparkle as well.

Here are a few other challenges I entered this card for:

Sparkles Forum - something that sparkles

Papertake Weekly - Creature Comforts

  Anything Goes- anything goes

So fun and I came away from my craft room with lots of sparkle on my clothes and face! LOL!!  So come on and play with us!! We can't wait to see what you come up with!!  Besides, there are always some really fabulous prizes to be given away...so go check it out!
