Roberta aka stampin'nana was named QFTD last week. I didn't get to play and tried to make this card yesterday. I can't tell you how many things went wrong and how it ended up this way. My garbage can is full of my many attempts.
Well, the idea is is to honor the Queen and I am trying. So, Roberta, I'm hoping you're enjoying your week of royalty.

Sometimes, cards just refuse to be made. I share your pain (and full garbage can)! I love the pops of red on this white card - it think it's got lots of fun elements in it!

I'm so sorry you had such a hard time with this card, Brenda, but the idea is to share in the joy when a fellow stamper is crowned. And you did just that, and I am most appreciative that you uploaded your card no matter what the circumstances were. : ) Did that mouse actually catch a cat? Oh, my goodness! This is way too funny! I love that polka dotted dp you used; it really pops, and those bees are simply adorable! A very special thank you from my heart to yours for playing along!

oh, oh, poor kitty! The mouse got the better of him!
I like your two banners and the paper piercing.
Thanks for playing along to honour Queen Roberta. I know how it feels like when a card doesn't go according to plan.

I also know that frustration! But this really is a cute card!!! Your little mouse is just adorable and the row of bees with their glittery wings are pretty! The REALLY wonderful thing about a card like this...we can make up our own story. If you showed this cute card to a handful of people and ask them what is going on in the card, you would get LOTS of deffernt answers. That is so great!!! So I think it is awesome!!! I am so glad you posted it Benzi!!!

I totally know what you are talking about. I have had a lot of cards lately that started out so great in my head but they just came out sooo different. I never threw away cards, but I have thrown away several lately. This is a good one - I agree with Kathleen - this card seems to tell a story. Cute mouse!! Hugz!

Oh that's just darling, Benzi! You know how I love my little critters - but no so much those realistic looking bees! Yikes! Poor little mouse - glad he got the better of the cat!

Oh Benzi I can sympathize with you girlfriend. I have a trash can right by my chair!!! lol But don't be too hard on yourself this is cute. I love that mischievous mouse-how fun. This card reminds me about the time I cornered an Armadillo and threw a recycle bin over him to keep him at bay until my DH got home. I put a bowling ball and something else really heavy on top of the container. I was so stupid....Armadillos can "dig" their way out of anything!!!! lol Oh yeah there are lots of critters where I live. Now I have a Coyote in my back yard!!!!

Bees and cats and mice - OH MY! Sorry you had so much trouble making this come together, but it turned out really cute. I think that there mouse is paper pieced is it not? So, you can either be eaten by a cat or stung by a bee or a cat outsmarted by a mouse or there's a mouse and bee conspiracy going on. I just can't decide which way to go. Zee zecret spyward equipment will probably overload trying to figure this one out; but, it really is darling!
