Mouse Tales

Well, it's Friday again and this post is pre-scheduled, and hopefully....I'm enjoying a warm sunny day in Forida!  It's vacation time, and because you can't be here with me, I felt a little humour was in order, just to make you smile!

Today my card uses another new release from The Character Cafe, the cute little Sleepy Max.  I wonder why it is that mice look sooooo sweet in a picture on a card, but not when you find a real one...in your house, or office, or anywhere else for that matter! 

I have used my Prisma's again, matting it with stripes and red cardstock, using a fancy corner punch for a little extra detail....attaching with gold brads. 

This layout was nice and easy to work up and follows the current sketch for the challenge at Tickled Pink

The DP is just a matter of stripes and polka dots, using the traditional Christmas colours of red and green, but I have added a stamp, red pearls, and a green paper ribbon for accents.  To finish it off, just three little punched snowflakes and a red flower, all sparkling with glitter!
