You're My Favorite {House Mouse Challenge}

Hello, House Mouse lovers!
Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Today's sweet little Valentine is done in unconventional colors for my hubby, and being submitted to House Mouse Anything Goes with optional theme of "Sweets or Hearts". Perfect for this stamp!


I saw the image on Bunny's Blog, and had to have it.
(thanks, Bunny!)

Colored with Copic Markers and die base inks, this little mousie is happily reading all about his fabulous characteristics. One of my great joys throughout the day is reminding Jacky of the various qualities I enjoy about him, or expressing my appreciation for all those drudgery things he does. Every Day. Hearing appreciation really does brighten our days, doesn't it?


My wonky frame was made from white paper, smooshed with VersaMark and heat set with sparkly Sienna Star embossing powder.


Jacky always says, "You are my Favor-ITE" with emphasis on the long "I" sound.

The Stamp may be new, but everything else is old, old, old. 

Thanks for stopping by, and best wishes from a sweet day!

Stamps: "Dearest One" HMCR81, Computer sentiment

    Can quite see why you had to have this stamp Donna, its gorgeous...the little 'love letter' would bring a smile to anyone's face and who can resist the cute mousie? Fabulous design and I love the colours, perfect card for your favourite person!
    I agree it's good to show appreciation of those we love, all the time, not just on 'special' days!

    You always achieve so much dimension with your coloring, Donna, and this card is no exception. I love how you've colored the background behind the words on the love letter and that present looks like it wants to pop right off the card it's so 3D. Gorgeous work again, Donna.

    There you go again with those pro illustrationist talents! This is all ready for a story book IMHO. One day I want to be that pesty fly in your craft room to see how you create such gorgeous card with nothing but a mouse stamp. You are one amazing artist, Donna! Hugs!! Happy Valentine's Day to both you and Jacky.

    I think I am in love Donna, this card is gorgeous and very very cute. So much nicer than I gave Andrew ... oops ... didn't make him one.

    Beautiful matting and layering (wouldn't expect anything less). It's always so nice to add something that is special just to each other.

    Oh my that stamp is just way too cute, I love the little message on it and that the inside goes with what he usually says, what a keeper this sweet card is, I bet he got a kick out of it.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Oh my, sweet Donna, this is just the sweetest and dearest Valentine card ever! I love the sweet mouse and the adorable things "she" loves about her "Jacky!" Ah, made me smile big -- especially since I feel the same about my dear Walt. We are blessed. And what a card! I love the wonky layout with the beautiful rectangle frame that you embossed so beautifully! Wow! Wow! Loving it, and you are so dear!! Warm, sunny hugs...don't we just love this time of year?! xoxo
