The House Mouse Olympics

Hello,

I had so much fun creating this card for the House Mouse & Friends Challenge. It took SEVEN individual stamps, many post-it notes for masking, some clip art editing for flags and hats and free hand drawing of the track and fence.

The theme is OLYMPICS and at first I was too intimidated by this to even consider entering. But then, I thought why not? So here is my card. There are so many original, creative and fun entries to see at http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/ Check them out!



Thank you for visiting my blog today! I promise to visit every last one of you who left your kind comments this weekend! Too many things this week and I just kept getting lost. And today my printer stopped working. My computer savvy friends saved the day! My friend Sandra drove here from out of town to see if it could be repaired and she and my friend Doug found me a new printer on sale and it has been ordered. I am blessed with wonderful friends in my life. Just when one loses faith in mankind - someone like these two comes forward. Wishing you all a great weekend.

Barbara Diane

This is just so wonderful! Did you mask mice from all different stamps? However you did it, it is the cutest card ever! Glad you got your printer problem solved.

JD/ Jill said...

Wow! This is a work of art! and I'm sure using all those stamps, and the all the masking took you a long time to do, but it was well worth it, You've done a great card for the challenge. (and even some free hand, I'm especially impressed!
