A Harvest of Blessings

I told myself I wasn’t going to spend the money… I was going to resist the new release from My Favorite Things this month!  I told myself over and over “you have tons of stuff you’ve never used!”  I told myself “you don’t need more!”  And then this sweet little Birdie Brown Harvest Mouse started showing up everywhere!  And all of my will power went out the window!

Sweet Sunday #286

I had some great stamping time with friends this past weekend, and colored this little guy along with the bushel of apples while we were together.  Both images were also die cut with the matching Die-Namics for this Harvest Mouse stamp set.  The colors I used were inspired by the Colour Q Challenge #307 for this week, and I used the current Sweet Sunday Sketch #286 for the layout.  I also made this card work for the current MarkerPOP Autumn-themed challenge #77.  The gingham paper is from the new Homespun Gingham Paper Pack from MFT, and was die-cut with the Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-Namics.  I also used the Pierced Fishtail Flags STAX for the burgundy flag, the Zig Zag Stitched Circle STAX for the sun, the Cloud Trio, and the Rolling Hills Die-Namics for the fence in the background.  My images were colored with Copic markers on Copic X-press It blending card stock.

Many, many thanks for visiting my blog today… I appreciate it so much!

I have the same problem Tammy! I keep seeing this mouse set and it's hard to resist. Julia Stainton also did a cute card from this set. My days are numbered too I suspect!
