  I'm joining the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.  My Anything Goes card features House Mouse Designs 1998 (Stampa Rosa) Best Friends wood mount stamp.

This adorable Hero Arts Garden Fancy Die has been on my wish list for awhile.  I received it in a recent order and couldn't wait to create.  I also used card stock from the Hero Hues sampler pack in the same order.  Great quality and it embossed/die cut perfectly!

I hope everyone has a great start to the new week!  The rainy season is upon us in Alaska, but I'm in denial. It's okay and I'm making the most of it!  LOL! I am joining the current sketch challenge over at the Christian Card Makers sketch challenge this week.  I had to give this one a little thought, but it was great for those scraps laying on my craft desk.  Each Monday Ginny Maxam posts a fun sketch and each participant receives a fun card kit for playing along.  She's such a sweetie!
