Congrats again, CarollAnne, looks like everyone was having a wonderful time casing your cards... and who wouldn't with a fabulous gallery like yours...
Well I kept the same theme, Christmas and used two red ornaments,made mine a 4 x 4 card. I stamped my House Mouse images on Shrinky Dink, coloured them with pencil crayons. Cut out with nesties. Punched holes in circles with crop-o-dile. Shrunk images. I Stamped the ornaments on white textured paper . Coloured images. Cut circles out of ornament - So I could inlay the shrinky dinks. Made the top panel. Used Stampin Up border punch on Real Red. Cut strip of Pacific Point, matted with white. Sewed around edges. Pierced holes in scallops. Punched out leaf sprigs in old olive and white. Laid olive sprigs over the white ones. Clued onto panel. Applied liquid applique and Diamond stickles to the upper edge of panel and to leaf springs. Coloured sentiment with old olive and Real red. Used stamp a ma jig to line it up. Dotted white base panel with Diamond stickles. I cut a 3 5/8 square and placed behind main panel. Used clear adhesive dots adhere the shrinky dinks on back panel. Secured with white brads.

Those cute little mice in those ornaments are just adorable!! Now, my original card might have taken all of about 5 mins. to complete; I bet it took longer than that just to color those mice! let alone doing the shrinky dink thing and adding snow to those branches, etc. This is such an awesome card!! Thanks so much for playing!!
