Late last night, I was watching a movie, when out of nowhere, I hear this little squeak and see a baby mouse scootch under the door to the basement, run across the room, under the foot of my extended recliner, and then disappear under the sofa. 2 seconds later, Pixie the cat peeps her head through the cat door (from the basement) and looks at me like...did you see where it went? I just looked at her, responded out loud, in a deadpaned voice, "well, you suck as a mouser..." and then went right back to watching the movie. It was all divine intervention though, because it inspired me to use this House Mouse stamp. It's a known fact, where there's one baby mouse, there are more...including the parents. So, I have this picture of the mom washing all her babies somewhere in my basement today. Probably scolding them for being out in the big dangerous world known as the basement...The little mouse leaning over the edge, with the mom holding it firmly by the tail is the mouse I saw last night...he
is definately the adventurous one! LOL!
I had just gotten the Parisian Summer DP from SU!, and knew that it would go so well with these colors. All materials, with the exception of the stamp and ribbon are SU!
Hope you enjoy...

Is this not the most precious card in the gallery! Your image is just a hoot, so that giggle sentiment is so perfect! Plus, your coloring is extraordinary. What a sweet sweet card this is.

Very cute! My mom looked at House Mouse stamps today at Hobby Lobby. She really loves them. She said all the ones at Hobby Lobby are old. She said she has to find a place on line to buy them. Your card is really cool!
