Not a creature was stirring, but maybe a few mice! This week there is a plethora of House-Mouse Christmas designs being shared by Stampendous and the Design Team! Stop by and have a blast seeing these mischievous creatures in their holiday best!
Today I have the sweetest two mice enjoying some holiday Gift Giving! I took the time to mask this image and made a bokeh effect for colorful tree lights in the background. It was a lot of fun and easy! You can get all the details at the end of my post today...just keep scrolling.
If you are a House-Mouse stamper and have fun sharing with friends why not keep the sharing going with fellow mice lovers! Stop by any week to share a project with House-Mouse characters on the House-Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge Blog
