HM&FMC #158 Mid Week

I'm here today with another card for our "My Favorite Things challenge over at House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge. The words to the song, My Favorite Things, are displayed on our site found here.   This week I used the line "Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String".  This little mouse is really using some nice ribbon but we'll pretend it is colored string.
 This image is titled Gifts To Tie.  After coloring the image I sponged around the image and also ran my Uniball gold pen around the inside of the die before I removed the image from it.  I got a little carried away with my gold pen as you can see I ran it around the edges of all my panels.  Sentiment is by SU and cut out with punches and SB dies.  A few pearls added here and there and I called this one complete.  There are so many wonderful "things"  in the song you could incorporate into you House Mouse card so why don't you head on over there and join in on the fun.  Thanks a bunch for stopping by for a peek.
See you again soon.

  12. Hi Donna, trying to pay some catchup visits tonight, and saw your name over at Carol L, so I could click the link and pop over fast to check out your card. This HM is just delightful, and I LOVE your idea with the gold Uniball pen. That was such a delicate line, but just the right emphasis. I liked all the places I saw it used! Inspired idea...and thanks for that one. Loved your embossing and your paper layout too. A totally fab card. Hope it's not too terribly cold where you are. It's not that warm in So. Fla, but warmer than our home state. I'm reading on so many blogs about the brutally cold weather so I'm thankful to be where we are! TFS, Hugs & Happy Thanksgiving.

  13. Donna, the gold pen borders are awesome on your adorable card. Every once in awhile I find a mouse in our house and I would so let it stay if it tied up packages like this! Cute image and your card is fabulous with great coloring, sponging, dies, and sketch. Cute! Hugz!
