Good morning! 
If y’all are like me, you are running around getting last-minute holiday stuff together and making sure everything is just so! I’ve got the handmade gifts done, all the presents wrapped and the menu is planned. Now I only have to finish 
. My family will be here Christmas Eve for dinner and then on Christmas Day everyone is free to go visit other family members.
I hate to admit this one. Even though I’ve been making Christmas cards for weeks, I haven’t gotten one mailed out. I’m ashamed of myself and maybe, just maybe, I can get Mallory to help in the next day or so and get them out in the post.
I did find some “me” time last night, and got into the studio to stamp a bit. I looked through all my Christmas stamps, and decided that I just couldn’t make one more. I settled on something fun and cute instead.
Before I get into the deets on the card though, I should remind you that today is Treasure Hunt Tuesday at Rubbernecker. It’s been a year now since we started the Treasure Hunt and Mr. Rubbernecker has decided that next Tuesday will be the last one. So all you Treasure Hunters, you have today and next Tuesday to hunt for that free stamp. Don’t worry, I do believe that there are things in the works to replace the Treasure Hunt! You can find out more info and the Designers who are participating in today’s Treasure Hunt on the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog.
Get this . . . . how cute are these little cupcake mice? I’ve had this image for some time (I picked it up in the booth while working a show one weekend) and finally decided that it needed to see some ink. Plus I thought I would start working on my birthday card stash.
The image was colored with Copic Markers and the little chips in the cupcake (because it is chocolate chip) were highlighted with Glossy Accents. To add just a bit of sparkle to the frosting a small bead of Crystal Stickles were added.

It’s obvious that I’ve spent so much pre-Christmasing time that I “need” to explore the fun stuff at Rubbernecker! OMG! It’s time to shop ‘again’! C’mon stampers! We have to get some-‘more’! Love this, Sherry!
Adorable Sherry, if you need a headstart on birthdays, mine is in September, you can send it now!! 😉
cute card, just love how you did the chocolate chips!
Awww, too cute, Sherry!!! I love those little mice and the cupcake looks yummy!!! Hope you and your wonderful family have a great Christmas and just to let you know, my b-day is in May!!!
Adorable, Sherry! I just love those little mice! Love your coloring and the fresh, new spring colors. That layout is super!
What perfect coloring, Sherry! The cherries look like they can be popped right into the mouth.
This is so-o-o-o-o cute! TFS!
Awww!! This is a cute one!!
Should go take a peek at what the treasure is today….but!! Unlike you….I don’t have my presents wrapped….need to make cookies, empanadas, beans, rice for tomorrow’s dinner and then the cranberry salad for Christmas dinner. Guess I should get it in gear, huh?!! (I DO have my christmas cards out…well….almost all out…..still gotta send to a few SCS friends! hehe (don’t hold your breath….it could be after the new year!! YIKES!)
Have a Very Merry one my friend!!
Too cute Sherry 🙂 I would have sworn you had watercoloured the mice.
And please tell Mr. RubberNecker that I happen to enjoy the Treasure Hunt Tuesdays, even if I don’t order anything! ha! But I guess that is the point huh, to get us in there to shop 😉
Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday and take some time to enjoy the spirit of the Season **~~~~ Merry Christmas Sherry ~~~~**
