This month's new Fan Club/Dirty Dozen Christmas Challenge is an easy one - but a bit of a challenge. I used another never-been-used stamp (blushing at the many stamps I have that I've never inked up), but I did enjoy coloring it. I have to say that coloring mice is a challenge for me. However, after "living" with them while I was coloring, I started thinking about what they might be saying. (My DH says I make everything "talk." and he's right!) I imagined that momma mouse was telling two of those mice to share, while one of them is looking at that other big ole berry. Of course, the one on the left is struggling to reach the one above, and I know he'll get it. Don't you think that far-right mouse has had WAY too many berries? Chubby little fella! LOL!
I kept my layout simple and made a square card, used my Mini MISTI to add the sentiment, and then pierced around the border. I added the focal image to a pretty tartan/plaid that I found in my stash, and that was it. I thought about adding some embellishment and decided to just keep it simple - makes it easier! Hope you'll join us this month for the Christmas challenge. It's sure been fun for me.
Thank you so much for taking a closer look at my card! Hope you like it, and I hope you have a great rest of the week. Can you believe it's November already? Christmas is coming! Sending hugs and love to all! xoxo

Adorable Cheryl, I think you've colored your mice perfectly and you've done an awesome job on your pierced mat... Hope you got your blog comment issue fixed... Even though I didn't get yours I have gotten others...
