Sleeping Mouse

I just LOVE mice!  Not the real ones of course, but any other kind of mouse just makes me happy.  They're kind of like a teddy bear - makes you want to give them a hug!


This little guy (or gal - I wonder how you tell the difference in a male and female mouse.....Um...something to think about for sure) is Bigsby in a Wreath from Karen's Doodles.  The sentiment is from Stampabilities and I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder on this.  After coloring and cutting out the image I popped it up on dimensions and then added some Glossy Accents to the Christmas balls.  It sure seems early to be really getting with the program on Christmas cards but guess it'll be here before you know it.

Sorry I don't have another Funny Friday for you this week - maybe next week.  Hopefully I can find some time to create this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by..........

    Love this Christmas card! Adorable image and a nice clean, classic card to showcase it. Not too early for Christmas cards, I don't think, as it will be here before too long at all.

    This card is just so cute. Love that image and the fact you popped it up on dimensionals. The touch of glossyness to the Christmas bulbs is perfect.

    This is so cute Lynn! If you do find out how to tell a girl mouse from a boy mouse, keep it to yourself... that is something I will never need to know! hahahhahaha

    This mouse is definitely my favourite kind! He looks so cute nestled into the wreath like that - and he's got to be a male mouse to be flat out asleep like that!
