Babies in a Bootie!

Hello friends!!  A happy "hump day" to ya!!  Hope you are having a great week!

I have a special post to share with you today and hope it will inspire you to play along! :)
My teamies at House Mouse & Friends Challenge Blog are sponsoring another challenge blog!
Yep, a challenge blog sponsoring a challenge blog...and I know you'll want to join  us for double the fun, right?!!  HM&F has a lovely FOUR BIG BRAND NEW HOUSE MOUSE stamps up for a prize over on the Midnight Madness weekly Sketch Challenge Blog this week!!
(I don't own ANY of those stamps...do you suppose I have a chance?!! LOL!)

So go on over there, check out the awesome prize that was kindly donated by America (our lovely House Mouse & Friends Challenge leader), check out the awesome sketch and come play along!
*hint - if you make it a Fall House Mouse creation using the sketch, you can play along in BOTH challenges this week!!  So your chances of winning something increase!*  :)

Here's my take on the sketch:
  AWWW!! You just gotta say it, right?!!  I've used this darling House Mouse Cozy Shoe stamp for the main focal of my card.  You could easily change the colors on this for a boy as well.  And of course even better for a pair of twins being born too! :)  The sentiment stamp comes from Whimsy Stamps.

I've taken a couple of the hearts left over from the border punch and attached them above their heads and then glittered them up a bit.  I've also made this an A-2 sized card which I haven't done in a while.  I think it actually made the process go a bit faster, but I think those darling mices make the whole card! :)

Here are some challenges I'd like to enter this in:
Midnight Madness - MMSC127 (House Mouse & Friends Sponsored!)
CES - New Beginnings
Creative Card Crew - Fallin' for you (loving a new baby! :)

I shall be back again on Friday with something fun to share with you!  Thanks so much for stopping by, I truly appreciate all of your support and thoughts!! :)
