Challenges with the Stampin B's and CCEE Stampers

The CCEE Stampers were challenged to make a fun get well card.  I think this House Mouse image fit the bill.  I paired in with this 'cozy' sentiment which I think makes it even more fun.  There are times when you don't feel up to par when you just might want to 'jump into' a hot cup of chocolate or tea or coffee to get 'cozy'.

The CCEE Stampers  blog should be a fun stop in blogland with all the fun get well cards.  Be sure to stop by.

The Stampin B's challenge this week was to make a gatefold card.  I am not a fan of alternate fold cards, but that is what is great about challenges.  They make us do things we would totally avoid......lol!!!!

I used an old SU snowflake image and a part of another SU image for the sentiment.  I had a hard time photographing this card as their is a metallic effect to the dp AND to the image, as I embossed it in gold.

Now....be sure to check out some fabulous gatefold cards at the Stampin B's blog.

Love your sweet House Mouse, Joanne. That would cheer someone up right away. Sorry about that gatefold (:-) but it turned out great just the same. Such a pretty snowflake and one more holiday card finished.

What a sweet get well with the HM!! I love the dp and colors! I'm sorry you don't enjoy alternate folds.....I think they're fun for a change. Wouldn't want a steady diet of them, though. Your card is lovely. I hate what happens when we try to photo and it is less than successful!

Such cute cards, and the HM is adorable! I too avoid anything other than A2 cards for the most part, but the gatefold looks great!
