I am excited to tell you about my mousie card. I made it for the House Mouse and Friends challenge 105. We were to make our card glittery. I put glitter on his hat, not sure if you can see it. This card was made from scraps. My friend, Sue, was here visiting from PA. We saw some cards on a SU demo's blog made from scraps so that is where this idea came from. Sue put the strips on the card for me while she was here and I am just getting around to finishing it. Notice that there are two strips of paper vertically and horizontally, my ribbon hides a lot of it. I had the scalloped square in with these scraps so I added it and the cute little mousie. Isn't this a great way to use up those scraps? I have bags and bags of scraps, probably enough to make a jillion cards. What do you think about my scrappy card?

I love your scrappy card! I have tons of scraps too, but never can see to use them up - they just keep growing and growing. Your image is so, so cute, Shirt and all the pieces of DP are perfect for this card. You've colored him wonderfully - he looks perfect against the gingham paper - and your ribbon is wonderful, as well a the flower and embellies on the left. The little mousie is sweet! Had to come back in to edit that he is headed into my favs.

What a really neat idea what to do with our bits of left over pieces of patterned paper sis, I dither so much what is the right size to keep and what should go in the trash This looks like you meant to cut strips to this exact size to arrange in this design I love those little glove buttons down the side and the mouse in the bauble is adorable.
