"I'm SEW glad we're friends!"

Good SONday morning!    Today's the day that the Calendar Girls post their creations based on a theme ... and this month our hostess, Debbie, challenged us to make a card/project with the "Sew glad we're friends" theme.   But wait .... she didn't stop there!  She also asked us to include this as a sentiment, add a button somewhere on the card, and stitching - either real or faux or some combination of ......  and I almost got it right! :)  Hee hee!  I actually didn't read far enough into the title and thought that's what it was ..... the title.  I knew exactly which stamp I was going to use the second I read the challenge, but since this little house mouse stamp comes with a sentiment, my mind wasn't wrapped around a different one - eek!  Hopefully, Debbie won't put me in the doghouse  mousetrap! :)

I colored up this adorable House Mouse with a lighter, subtle color pattern and once again, rummaged for some paper to match - something I've done like 3 times lately.  Change = good, right? :)  I kept it pretty simple as not to let this cutie image get lost in the card and I knew I wanted to add this wide, stitched ribbon for my stitching part, and the button for the requirements.   And, as I usually do, I had as much fun with the inside as the front!  LOVE this part of card decor!
