I am so pleased that our weather has finally turned to Spring and I think Mother Nature must have been feeling a bit sheepish as she gave us a couple of abnormally hot days to enjoy being outdoors again. Of course, we spent them cleaning up the yard, but it really needed to be done anyway.
A new challenge starts today at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' and our theme is winter sports. So if it can be done in the snow or on ice and someone could potentially loose an eye, then it should count :) I decided to go with hockey - even though I think I must be one of the few Canadians who doesn't care for the sport. There are some fans in my family, so I am sure one of them will enjoy this card... and the mice are really cute!

Stamps - House Mouse stamped with black stazon on 300g hot pressed watercolour paper and coloured with distress ink, Amy R Snowman Sayings sentiments (I'm not sure if it is legible from the photo, but the top one says 'cold twigs, warm hearts')
Paper - BoBunny Snowfall and MME Miss Caroline
Other - twigs fallen from the willow tree in my front yard (so it was relatively easy to bend one into a frame), glitter for the snow in the image and on the branches, baker's twine, TH mini ticket die.
We have a fantastic sponsor - Quixotic Paperie is providing one lucky winner with a £10 voucher to their store!
I hope you will join in the fun! I'm looking forward to seeing your winter sport themed Christmas creations :)
I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:
Allsorts - Add some sparkle
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Let's get sentimental
Papertake Weekly - Anything goes
The ABC Challenge - M for Make it sparkleWinter Wonderland - Dashing through the snow
Thanks so much for popping in and for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate them! I'm afraid I have fallen a bit behind with visiting and comments at the moment, so if I have not been around to see you, I am sorry. Life should get less hectic this weekend, so I will catch up with everyone then.
Hugs,
Dawn

WOW!! This is gorgeous Dawn. I love the cute image, beautiful colours and the way you have made the frame from Willow twigs looks absolutely wonderful.

This image is so sweet, I could almost forget the damage these little critters do in my garden! Maybe I should just build them a wee ice rink to keep them occupied? xx
Love this one, it is so cute, hugs, Marion

Gorgeous card - HM always hits the spot for me - thanks for entering my CHNC challenge 123 - you could also enter this into my CHNC challenge extra for May - I'd love to see it there too. x
I'm not a big hockey fan - or at all, really - but if mice were playing? I would totally watch.
That willow frame is AMAZING - it must have an incredible feel! So clever :) And of course those little guys are adorable!
Fab card Dawn. Love the twigs idea although if I had tried to do that it would look rubbish!
