House Mouse and Friends 3rd Birthday!!

Happy Birthday House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge Blog! I started blogging 3.5 years ago. And in August or Sept of that year I found HMFMC and was thrilled! I had these wonderful House Mouse stamps but really didn't have any clue on what to do with them. Boy have I learned a lot since then. By challenging myself to learn new techniques and enter the challenges whenever I could. Also, along with that I met and made some wonderful friends. We may have not met in person, but that does not mean I do not consider you a friend. So enough of my yakking, here is my card for the hop. I have not figured out where to put a sentiment. So please feel free to give me some advice. I just love this stamp of the mousie floating in the lemonade. So I wanted to create a bright cheerful card to showcase it. The card base is soooo old. I bought them long before I was a "real" cardmaker. The orange cardstock and the Pebbles confetti DSP are scraps.

If you haven't done the blog hop yet, hop on over there. There are many wonderful goodies being given away.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful first weekend of Fall!!!

Oh this is just fabulous!! :) You've used one of my very fave images and your coloring is so brilliant too!! I was thinking a lovely "happy birthday" sentiment would go lovely in the bottom right corner?! You think? I love it to pieces no matter what you decide to do with it!! Thanks so much for helping to celebrate our 3rd birthday with us at House Mouse & Friends! Good luck to you!! I hope you will join us again! HUGS - Vicki HM&F designer

So cute! I am with you...sentiment placement always gets to me! I think you could easily add a small tag from your ribbon knot or maybe even another round circle off to the right towards the bottom of your card....it is cute as it is and you could just stick a sentiment inside as well! Thanks for sharing with us at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge 3rd birthday blog hop! ♥ Sue Kment
