HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE #114

Time for another House Mouse and Friends Monday
 Challenge, #114.

The theme for this challenge, chosen by our talented and fun-loving teammate, Lori Bennett, is:
Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice.  Seems Lori is going to be a new Grandma soon, and it's a girl, so she wants us to create something to celebrate a little girl in your life.


I used this adorable Happy Hoppers Stamp.  Are these bunnies cute or what?


And created a sweet little picture frame for a sweet little girl in my life.
The picture is of my Granddaughter, Megan.  I purchased the picture frame at Michael's for a dollar. It's made of wood too!  I covered the entire frame with Pool Party card stock from Stampin Up.
I then colored and cut out my stamped image and popped it up on the frame with a Action Wobbler, so it jiggles when you move the frame.  Cut borders for the top and bottom from card stock.  Corners are a die from Sizzix.  The heart die around the frame is Cheery Lyn.  Sentiment is computer generated.
Used a white Sharpie Poster Paint Pen to dot the entire frame.  Added pearls, and a bow.


I glued white satin ribbon around the edge of the frame,  then a coordinating lace
to finish it off.
