although it wasn’t shown on the crafter’s companion challenge blog and i wasn’t given any explanation, this is my guest designer creation for december to use ribbon, twine or string. i coloured this mouse from the makey bakey ‘christmas carols’ stamp set with distress inks, added flock to his hat and coat trim and decoupaged the song book and his paws. i added snow and used stickles for the snow on the ground; the sentiment is a sticker and i added the memory box die cut numbers and a Dee’s Distinctively Dies tree.
i’d like to submit this to these challenges:
winter wonderland – numbers
cut it up – christmas and include a die cut
christmas at sweet stampin’ – snow
a little bit crafty – christmas cheer
one crazy stmper – winter/holiday
cute card thursday – celebrations
jingle belles – linkfest
thanks for popping by.

Thanks for visiting my blog Linda and taking the time to leave me a comment.
Like you I was really excited when I was picked to be a Guest Designer, but was soon disappointed with the whole Guest Designer thing. It really wasn’t what I was expecting at all and after all the mess up and disappointments I really got disheartened and was undecided if I should bother doing the December Theme or not. Eventually I did do the card but once again have been completely disappointed because my card hasn’t been posted at all and neither has yours, so I see.
Anyway, it’s done now. I am going to write in to CC, but I can’t see that anything will change or be done about it.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas. Your card is gorgeous and I do love that image.
Have a wonderful New Year! Take care.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
