Stampendous and Creative Impressions

Happy Monday, crafters! I'm stopping in for a quick post to share with the Stampendous Design Team for a House-Mouse in merry preparations for the holidays!

My card today uses House-Mouse® Snow Cap Nap and some sparkly silver ribbon by Creative Impressions. Creative Impressions carries some pretty nice ribbon that the design team has been using for a few catalog releases. A shout out to them for sending us such a great array of ribbons. The background is made with a Dreamweaver Stencil called Bricks which is going to be a lot of fun to use in future House-Mouse backgrounds.

Have fun on the rest of the hop with these other stops and we'll see you again later this week with more House-Mouse projects.
