HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE #99

Time for Challenge #99
House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

The theme for this challenge was chosen by our talented teammate, Heather
and she chose "Anything to do with water"

Easy Peasy, right?  So many of our little mice, gruffy and happy hopper friends are doing something near or in the water!

Like this little bunny, relaxing in a nice hot soak!


Besides coloring this darling with Copics and making him the focal point of the card, I let the papers I used do the talking on this card.  They are from the DCWV Mariposa Stack.  I used a six by six inch piece of the card stock from this stack to make my base card, then cut out the butterflies from another piece of the same card stock and bent the wings up and adhered them over the butterflies on the card.


The sentiment is Hero Arts.  Flowers are silk, pulled from a purchased stem with rhinestone centers.  Rhinestone swirls from Michael's.  Lots of Star Dust and Crystal Stickles, bubbles look so cool in real life.  The die cut is Nellie Snellen.

Our Sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp, and they have graciously offered a fabulous $ 15 online shopping gift for the lucky randomly drawn winner.

We are welcoming two new Guest Design Team members for the month of July, Gill M and
Kat. Welcome ladies, we are looking forward to seeing what you come up with for our challenges.

For some great inspiration, go to the House Mouse and Friends blog site and check out what
the talented ladies on the design team have come up with for our water challenge.

Don't forget, you must use a House Mouse, Gruffie or Happy Hopper image to join the challenge.
We look forward to visiting and checking out these critters with water!!!

I want to wish a very happy birthday to our own America Kuhn who is celebrating her birthday today, July 4th!  I'm sure they will be celebrating at the Kuhn house, as America and their kids have recently welcomed their husband/Dad home from deployment.
So celebrate your day.  I wish you many more happy, healthy birthdays!

Have a great Monday.  Happy Independence Day to US Bloggers.  Thanks for stopping by.
Until later.....................
