My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Angel Mousie

What's an insomniac to do when waking up just before midnight, and can't go back to sleep? After exhausting all the usual tricks of making oneself sleepy, I turned on the computer to find some challenges to enter, and made a card.  That was fun!



This simple A7 size, sparkly-winged House Mouse Angel card was made with Prismacolor pencils, gathered lace, die cuts, and some patterned papers. Oh! and Glitter, of course!

Challenges this card was submitted to:

Christmas Card Challenge - Use Lace
House Mouse and Friends - New (New image, new papers, new lace)
Charisma Cardz Challenges - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!
House Mousie hugs,

I think I love every House Mouse stamp ever made and this one is no exception. But I don't have it yet, so it's now on my Wish List. Love the papers and those golden leaves! Gorgeous touch with the lace, too. I think you used your "can't sleep" time very well. :-D
