Mice are Nice

O’ it’s Friday and that means the weekend is just around the corner!  It would be great to have nothing on my schedule but I get to start the weekend off with the kiddos at Home Depot!  Yeah!  😀  Once a month they have a kid’s project day and I’ve been duly informed (by my own kiddos) that we *are* going!  I don’t know what we’re making – but apparently we’ll be making three of them!  LOL

 

The main image on this card is from Lili of the Valley and is the last of the set of pre-colored images I got called Mice are Nice.  It was fun to use these images and they made really quick cards too – this one will hopefully be used as a nice wedding card.  Thanks for coming by today!

I have another mouse card to show you using the Mice are Nice precoloured diecut sheets from Lili of the Valley.  These sheets are easy for when you’re tired of coloring and want to put something quick together – plus they’re reasonabily priced.  😀  This is the five out of six image from the sheet which I’ve shard on my blog.

 
The book I’m currently reading is called Wonder Struck by Selznick, who was also the author of Hugo.  Both books are a great combination of a short novel and wordless picture book – it’s brilliant.  There was a movie that just came out under the same name, Hugo, which was a pretty good adaptation of the book – that’s rare, but it happens sometimes.  I always find it thrilling to have read a book first before a movie was ever in the works – it’s like finding a gem and then later on having it confirmed as a good storey.  LOL

I can’t believe it’s not July already!  Not that I’m complaining, but there is so much going on but instead of whizzing past it feels like I’m trudging through it in slow motion!  It’s actually nice that it’s still May and that I haven’t falling too far behind on my duties… I suppose that means I need to get my bills done for the month.  LOL

I haven’t posted anything for a while – or what seems like a while – so I wanted to pop in real quick and share another card I made with the Mice are Nice diecut sheets from Lili of the Valley.

It’s Memorial Weekend here in the US and we have an extra day off from school and work – n-i-ce!  😀  However, this is also giving me a chance to work on some secret projects that I’ve had in the works.  😀  It’s going to be so exciting and there are loads of suprises in the future for Little Miss Muffet Stamps – so stay tuned.  In the mean time, have a great weekend!

Here’s another card using a pre-colored Mice are Nice image from Lili of the Valley.  These cute mice are helping with the gift wrapping – something I wouldn’t mind help with.  😀  Maybe they’re like the little shoe elves and can help me around Christmas time.  LOL  This is fourth card I made with the diecut sheet so I have two more to share through out the month.

I enjoyed using the burlap ribbon because it reminded me of a burlap sack that mice love to nibble on.  But that’s probably not the image you wanted to think of while looking at my card.  These are supose to be nice mice – remember?!

I’m using all six of these cards as a gift set and they look great together.  Thanks for coming by today and I hope you’ve been inspired.

Happy Mother’s Day!  Flowers seems to be the most iconic symbol for this occasions so I thought it would be perfect to post this card using a precolored image from Lily of the Valley.  This is still part of the Mice are Nice sheet and one of my favorites too.  These little mice are adorable and have been so very helpful.  LOL  Check out my card…

The weather lately has been perfect so I couldn’t resist getting a few tulips for my garden.  However, what I’m most excited about is finding out that Stargazef Lily flowers grow is our area!  It’s my favorite.  😀  They will be perfect outside with their strong fragrance and hopefully I’ll get those planted this week.  Ahh… now just where to plant them?!

The project I have today shows another pre-colored image from Lili of the Valley and has a wonderful pink theme to it.  😀  Who doesn’t like chocolate?  Well, I say that a little on the sarcastic side because it so happens there area couple members in my greater family that doesn’t.  Just impossible to imagine – yet they do.  Anyway, this is a chocolate card that everyone can enjoy…
