Watercoloring Goes a LONG way!

This very seldom happens to me...one card that qualifies for several challenges!

All because it is watercolored!  YEAH!!

I was just talking with my neighbor about those cute little mice...and they are cute, as long as they are NOT in your house, or even your yard!

They are building an addition to their house and the worker lifted up some wood and what did he see but a whole family of mice...momma and babies!  He couldn't do it, no he just dropped the wood back on top and left them to be.

But he told the owner and they have been plagued with mice, they had the run of their home before they moved in...it was disgusting.  So the owner lifted up the wood, the momma scampered away and NO he did NOT do anything to the babies, figured they would be on their own and nature would take its course!

So that is my story about how this card came to be.

I have been wanting to use that cute little critter from PTI called Christmas Critters...you know ..."all through the house not a creature was stirring..."
At first I had this critter holding a little acorn, and then my brain kicked in and I said to myself, hey this isn't a squirrel...it's a mouse, I don't think they eat acorns!!  I don't suppose any of you talk to yourselves, right??
so I replaced the acorn with a leaf...duh!!

These are the challenges I am entering:
Just Us Girls # 363 word week:  LEAVES

I hope you will go check out their new challenge and play along, they are looking for some DT members, too!

CAS(E) this Sketch # 192

Hi Friends, today I am playing with CAS(E) this Sketch:

I love the background paper (PTI Fall Prints & Patterns) it is so soft and subtle, yet adds a lot to the

Card
Here is what I used:

MFT Fall Foliage

Kina K: Beautiful World

PTI Falling Leaves

My Norwegian house guest has returned home.  I had a wonderful time with her and now it is time for me to get back in the craft room.  My DH asked me this morning if I had one more day in me to help out in the yard before the rains come.  GGRRR, I want to play, but I guess I will be playing with "dirt" instead of paper!!

Maybe he will let me sneak away for some breaks... after all the Rider Cup is on, so I know he will be wanting some breaks too!!

For Me, TGIF!!

Have a good one!
