Such a Blessing!

I seem to have a very bad habit of getting here much later than I would really like to. Something I have to work on I believe. It has been a busy weekend. But then most of our weekends are somewhat busy. I have to say that most of the time it is a good busy too.
But I did take a few minutes to get a little stamping in. I love doing the SCS Featured Stamper each week. I love to see the different galleries that I might not have looked through before. I tend to look through the galleries of stampers whose work is similar to mine. So by doing the Featured Stamper I am seeing things I might not have and loving it!

I chose a House Mouse stamp this week. I really do love those little mice, have for years!! Isn't this little guy peeking out over the edge of the tea cup too cute?!
I stamped him with Stazon and then water colored it with pencils and my trusty favorite brush. If that brush ever gets lost I don't know what I'll do. Not like I don't have others, it's just my favorite!
The panel directly behind the mouse I used my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder on. It doesn't show too well in the photo, but it really gives some good texture to the card.
All the paper is from Creative Memories. I think I'll be working through my stash of CM paper for a good 10 years!! Okay, maybe not that long, but it will be a while.
I am very thankful for being able to stamp and for all the wonderful blessings that the Lord has given to me. I often think about where I would be without Him and it usually comes out the same answer; nowhere. I truly believe I wouldn't even be alive now if I didn't have Him in my life. What blessing He is to me!!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by. Make sure you leave me a comment. I love to see what you all have to say!!
