I started this card over a week ago when my friend and Twisted Sistah Peggy (MarilynPrestion) was hosting MotherMark's Teapot Tuesday, but I never got the chance to upload it until today.
The Rodents were having the tea party at their house, and in the spirit of the season, all animals were welcome. Unfortunately, in spite of all of the refreshments that the Rodents provided (including some rather questionable yellow punch?) MY little rascals HAD to be the ones to eat the decorations off of the tree....
I used chaulks to color the mice and the sugar cookie ornaments.
Thanks for the fun challenge, Peggy, and thank you all for looking!

Just darling this little twin set of mice! Don't worry about the decorations, Mama Teeny has a lot more where that came from. Good to see you at the party, though, it's a bit slower. People are pretty much attending Sabrina's party, which is so much fun too...
Lovely red sparkle, love the sentiment and sweet mice, thanks for coming Darling Darla. Happy new year!

Oh Darla! This is a sweet as can be! I love HM, and have never seen this image. Too cute! Beautifully colored- so good in fact that those cookie ornaments look delish! Hugs!!!

How did you get a picture of me after I got done eating Christmas dinner? Were you sneeking around my house? LOL This stamped image is so darn cute! Is it all one stamp or is the tree a seperate image? Your coloring and addition of bling are perfection my friend! TFS
