House Mouse and Friends Blog Hop :-)

Hi all :-) This is a scheduled post so I hope it works !!

Welcome to the House Mouse and Friends Challenge Blog Hop !! If you arrived here from the super talented Lori's blog then you are going in the right direction :-)

We have loads of sponsors for this challenge and there is tons of candy along the way !! Please see the HM&F Challenge blog for more info :-)

The theme for the hop is 'LOVE'

so make a card/creation using a House Mouse Happy Hopper or Gruffie image and join in !!



For my card I used this adorable House Mouse Love Letter image, coloured with Copics and layered onto grey and black card. The papers are Echo park from a Be Mine pack, so romantic ! I used a Martha Stewart Scalloped Heart border punch and added some bias tape and organza ribbon,tied into a double bow. I added a beautiful pink rose, glittered with Star Dust Stickles, a few Blush Dots and a Pearl swirl design to finish.



From here you need to hop on over to the lovely NATASCHA'S blog for more mousie inspiration. Good Luck and Happy Hopping !! Smile

My candy is sponsored by the lovely Heidi at Simon says Stamp and I have a fab $25 voucher to give away. Please note that the winner will be responsible for shipping charges.
