 A Special Birthday Gift for You:
Mice & Gift Birthday Card

Hello everyone! We just wanted to say to anyone having a tough time right now, we understand and it will be okay. Life is full of ups and downs and we have definitely had our fair share of both. So we understand. We got a not so great email kind of bashing our photos, videos and crafts. But what they don't know is we are doing the best we can with what we have.  So to everyone out there, you are doing the best you can and that is wonderful!   Keep going, keep trying and don't give up.  Keep on crafting and doing what you love. You know, that thing that brings a smile to your face and lifts your heart and soul.  Don't let the haters bring you down, keep loving life because you are loved!

I have been wanting to use up some scrap paper so I saw a fun way to use scrap paper from someone I follow on Facebook. I loved her design but I made it my own and added some fun flare. AND..... I got to use my brand new Colorado Craft Company Stamp set. I hope you love the card as much as I do! 

Here is the Card:

How cute are these two little mice with that birthday gift? Too cute!

I used:

• Colorado Craft Company's Anita Jeram~Birthday Wishing Stamp Set (purchased from Colorado Craft Company Website)
• Random Scraps of paper and various colored cardstock
• Fine Line Colored markers and colored pencils
• Stitched square and scalloped and stitched rectangle dies
• Simon Says Stamp Black ink pad and Pawsitively Saturated Ink Cubes Purple Fields (Orchid and Amethyst)

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of the card:

......and that's it! 

Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something and if you can, craft with your family and/or friends and make some fun memories together!
