~~Surprise Surprise~~~

I am usually always lurking on the Cricut Card Message Board Forum.  It was the first place I visited when I started making cards and continue to do so when I need inspiration and ideas from.  Weekly there is a thread in the forum called Raq's Challenge that a wonderful group of ladies take turns posting sketches to inspire some wonderful cards.....  This week I used the second sketch .

This is my finished card that I made using Heidi Swapp papers I bought in a package at Tuesday Mornings when  I was visiting North Mrytle Beach this summer. 

I used the little mouse peeking out of the basket cut at 2.75 from Birthday bash.

And cut the mouse from Create a Critter at 3 inches for the inside of the card.  I love using embossing folders to give added interest to my papers. The sentiments are rub ons that I picked up a long time ago at Big Lots.  They are made by American Crafts.  The card is a A2 size card and many layers and popdots used with small touches of chalk ink  and pop dots for dimension also.

If you have the opportunity stop by the messageboards http://community.provocraft.com/Cricut-Community_postst83051_Raq-s-7-5-Challenge.aspx.  Check out all the wonderful work others do from the different sketches they put out their each week.  They are all truly inspiring!!!!!
