Sleepy mice



   Who could resist these little sleepy mice? Have they fallen asleep whilst waiting for Santa or are they tired out by all the Christmas preparations?
   The image is from one of Joanna Sheen's Christmas set of House Mouse stamps and I have coloured them using Promarkers. I added some Stickles around the candle flame. The sentiment was stamp using one of the stamps from Crafter's Companion sentimentals sets. I matted and layered  the finished square onto red mirri and then white card.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
   Without Words - preparing for Christmas
   Send a Smile 4 Kids - anything goes 4 kids
   Crafty Catz  - Christmas is coming
   Papertake Weekly - 2 or 4 legs
   Christmas Cards All the Year Round - no patterned paper
   Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Extra - anything goes
   Glitter n Sparkle - cute
   A Little Bit Crafty - clean and simple
   Gruffies & Guests - anything goes with the option of Christmas
   Word Art Wednesday - anything goes
   Beccy's Place - holiday cards
   House Mouse and Friends - add a little sparkle

  2. Aw, how cute are these tuckered out mice - but, they are staying warm and cozy, aren't they! I saw this card on SAS4Kids and had to come check it out a bit closer. Great project and nice addition to your Christmas stack.
