A Very Mousey Kind of Love.......

 Hello, everybody: I'm always hoping you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

******************************************************

I created this card using "Monica's Gift" from House Mouse.


********************************************************

This is the inside.

***********************************************
And this is what I used.

House Mouse "Monica's Gift"
Stampin' Up! "Teeny, Tiny Wishes"
The little tag I think it's from Spellbinders.
The sentiment inside is from SU "Free as a Bird"
The heart and bow are from "Memory Box"

I don't know if you guys have had the same troubles and tribulations when creating your cards but today I had a really hard time putting this card together.  After I colored the image and added the details, it took me literally hours to figure out what papers, colors, layout, etc. I was going to use, I had to get up from my desk several times and go do laundry, fix lunch, change the sheets on our bed, come back and take some other papers out and try again.  I struggled so much, felt as if my MOJO was nowhere to be found, I almost gave up but just looking at this sweet little mouse, I decided she needed this card to be finished, so I did.

Anyway, I'm not too sure about adding the yellow panel to the image, I wanted a break from all the pink and besides, the little piece of cheese is yellow, so there!!
I found a little bag with ribbons from a long time ago when I wanted to try the "Flower Soft" products, I wasn't very good at it but I had these thin ribbons from the kit I bought so I might as well use it, and it worked great, the little tag looks like it's actually dangling from the ribbon on the cheese.

Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you with all of this stuff, I needed to reach out to you to share today's experience creating this cute card.

I want to play with:


"Many Layers"


Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments.

Stay healthy and safe.

Maria.

I can appreciate your pain! Thankfully your household sounds tidy and stocked with sandwich fixings’ while you ponder over the craft room fodder you have accumulated. Well success! You have finished this off nicely and utilized a color pallet wisely! The tiny mouse is adorable your yellow tag the perfect pairing!

Maria, I always think the easiest thing about creating a card is coloring the image. However, I do love the process of combining elements for the layout even though sometimes it's just the way you described. If I have time to wait till the next day that can make all the difference. Your card turned out fantastic and so sweet. I do like the yellow mat. Success!
