HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE #122

Welcome to the House Mouse and Friends
Monday Challenge # 122

The theme for the challenge this time has been chosen by our Downright Crafty Teamie, Kate.
Kate has chosen the theme - Liquid Refreshment.  With the summer months upon us this should be easy peasy - anyway you want to interpret Liquid Refreshment, so let's see what you got!


These little mice have the right idea on a hot summer day!

AND, as if that isn't enough, we are celebrating over at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge!  We have recently passed the 1000 followers mark!  WOW, how exciting is that!
Some of the design team has gathered up some candy on their blogs to give away to celebrate this milestone.

I'm offering the following candy:


Includes:  Gemstone stickons
Ribbon Package
Package of 20 cards and envelopes
And the stamp I used in this post (well, not THE stamp I used, a brand spanking new one!!)

All you need to do to be in to win my candy is enter a card in our current challenge at The House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge, then enter your name in the linky below.  Will randomly pick a winner and announce that winner on Monday July 1st, our next challenge day.  Good Luck!  Since this is all about our followers, you must also be a follower of the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.






Go have a look see at the samples the Design Team came up with for inspiration, then get to work and create something with the theme Liquid Refreshment.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great Monday.  Until later.....

Hi Sue! First of all - OMG, that Nik guy is NUTS! He'd have a lot more fun creating a beautiful House Mouse card, don't you think? Eeks. Your card is so adorable! Love it. Those wee mice are going to be wired for 220 when they finish drinking all of that soda! Thanks for sharing, and for a chance to win some goodies! Hugs...

Your card is jut outstanding with brilliant coloring! It's adorable!!
As for the new banner on your blog - I was in complete awe of Nik as he did that death-defying stunt! He must be a little crazy to do something so daring, but I found his calm demeanor and drive to live his dream to be incredibly inspiring! I don't think I'll ever forget watching that unfolding before my eyes!

Wonderful card - the layout and your papers are just perfect for the image reflecting the fun of it and the colors. Makes me want a soda but not after cute little mouses have been in them (LOL). Seriously cute card!!! Makes me smile for sure (all your cards do though so that is nothing new). Hugz.

Lovely stuff Sue! Love how bright the colours are, I struggle with that using water colouring but I'm ok with that! Great LO as usual and beautiful candy too. I'm a follower here and at the main blog and I've entered a card too, although it's a bit plain so it may get an embellishment makeover!!

Hugs
