I can't believe I had not heard of the house Mouse and Friends Challenges. I have always loved House Mouse Stamps, and I have been making a few cards today with some of mine and one that a friend had sent an image from. One of my Alpha sisters, Shelly let me know about the House Mouse Monday Challenge.
So, I am entering these two cards in it. I have a couple of others but they don't fit the challenge, so I'll post those later.
This has been one of my favorite Christmas images since I got the Stamp. I'm calling the card Deck the Halls and that is the name of the stamp also. This stamp just goes to show you can make a Christmas tree out of anything, and it will still mean as much, if you're with your people.
I remember one Christmas, my husband was away for work, so my children and I loaded up the car with all the Christmas presents and a Christmas tree we had cut from green paper. and we went to spend Christmas in a hotel room with my husband. We taped the tree on the wall in the corner of the hotel room; we had a wonderful Christmas. The only problem was that there were no restaurants open is the small town we were in. We finally found a Mexican restaurant open many miles away and we had the best Enchiladas for Christmas dinner. My children still talk about that Christmas when they have forgotten details about many other, supposedly better Christmas days.
You don't need much if you are with your family. That is what really counts.
This card is the one I don't know the name of the stamp set, so I'm calling it Making Merry. I gave it that name mostly because of the sentiment I added to the card. I watercolored both of the images for these cards and then added a little of the darker shading with touches of color from a few markers. I had foiled the sentiments at a friend's house last Christmas. I think it is from a Pink Fresh set.
