Santa Mouse

This time next week it will be Christmas Day. I hope you are all better prepared

than I am. Due to a family crisis, I did not finish making all my cards, so unfortunately 

quite a few friends were sent shop-bought cards with an IOU for my annual letter.

Penny's Paper Crafty has another challenge for you, and our theme this week gives

you lots of scope to unlease your creativity...it is

'YOUR FAVOURITE TECHNIQUE OR COLOUR; OR BOTH'

We have two generous, and very regular sponsors this week. A big thank you to

and

I was asked to choose a StampArt Design digi stamp by Kathryne, and 

although Kathryne has so many lovely images to choose from, I did not

hesitate to ask for the incredibly adorable Santa Mouse. He is a new 

image in Kathryne's catalogue.

 My favourite technique is colouring with my Promarkers, and at Christmastime

my favourite colours are the very traditional red and green, sometimes with a

touch of gold, although not at this time. Because Santa Mouse is sooooooo

cute, I decided to create a CAS card, so as to not distract from him.

A close up look at little Santa Mouse, coloured of course, with Promarkers.

I could gaze at that face all day, and don't you just love that over-sized santa suit!

Inside my card.

In the past few months, I bought quite a few Christmas themed dies, lovely papers

and lots of gorgeous stamps, but circumstances meant that I did not get a chance to 

use them...won't I have fun in 2014 trying them all out. They may be the incentive I

need to get an earlier start on Christmas next year. I did however get to use the 

Memory Box Merry Christmas die for this card. The negatives for 'Christmas'

can be used on another card. I affixed a gem in the die-cut 'i'.
