A few weeks ago, I entered the House Mouse and Friends Father's Day/Male challenge and I won a giant prize! Not only did I win a $25 gift certificate to House Mouse Designs, I get to be a Guest Designer for July and August. How fun is that? This is my first card as a GDT member.
The new House Mouse and Friends challenge is "Let's Eat!" (anything to do with food). I had to improvise on this one as I didn't have a food related HM image that I wanted to use (guess what I am getting with my HM Designs gift certificate - LOL). I do have this totally fun little HM image, and I combined him with a Cheryl Alger Fourth of July Pie image (available at Squigglefly). The little bubbles are from Creative Memories - not sure what I was thinking when I added them as I wouldn't want bubbles around MY pie, but they do add a little bit more fun don't they?
I gave this card to my Brother-in-law for his birthday and he loved it! He may now be the newest House Mouse fan club member - seriously.
As a Guest Designer, I would be totally remiss if I didn't encourage you to enter the challenge. I know you have a favorite House Mouse, Gruffie, or Happy Hopper Image (or maybe one on your wish list) AND the challenge runs for two weeks so you have plenty of time to enter. As extra motivation to play: there are lots of prizes, the DT is sweet with their comments, and the other participants are very friendly.
Hugz!!!!

How cute, Nancy. I love your mouse and that pie looks delish. I think those aren't bubbles...instead it is the aroma rising from your pie. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win and the GDT position. I know you'll have fun and they will love having you.
Adorable creation!
Nancy, this is simply adorable and delicious looking. Congrats on your win and DTG spot. I just finished being GDT. It's fun, huh? I love the idea of being able to add one of the little mice into any scene. Your did a great job at that with this card. He is jumping for joy at the thought of digging into this lovely pie when it cools down. With one of my Gift Certificates I purchased a single mouse so I could to the same thing. Hope I can incorporate one as well as you did here. I think your bubbles are cute as anything and we will just imagine that they are "clear sugar bubbles". Now they fit right in and will be delicious also. Glad to see your creation this week at HM&F challenge. Enjoy your reign.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card and just in time for the 4th of July picnics! It's ok to have bubbles as blowing bubbles is a favorite summertime pleasure for picnics and parties!!! Your little mouse looks so adorable. Fun and fabulous card. Got my thank you card the other day. It's so cute. I just love it.
