An Adorable Mowing Mouse Father's Day Card!

Hello everyone! Summer has arrived in Idaho! We have finished planting our raised beds and garden, doing warm weather projects and of course sneaking in some crafting where we can! Thank you for stopping by, we are so glad you did!

My mom was inspired by the Lawn Fawnatics Summer Splash Challenge, the Double Trouble Sketch Challenge and the Try A Sketch on Tuesday Challenge! We got this adorable little mouse stamp set from Lawn Fawn! We love their mice stamps and this one was so cute and reminded us both of Brent (my dad, my mom's hubby)! He loves the outdoors and working in the yard, mowing and also in the garden. All fun Summer activities that we participate in, but my dad loves it! He Loves to mow!!! All the links and challenges are near the end of this post! Check them out and join in the fun!
