Snowy Mouse on Fern Branch

Lee Holland's little snowy critters are some of my favourite images for a Christmas card. This little mouse on his tree branch sniffing at the snow is adorable.

Hot Cocoa

Today's creations are some festive Christmas cards made using my Silhouette. I've used one of my favourite NitWit Collections paper pads in 2 lilac patterns.  I've adapted the cutting files a little to adapt them into side-fold shaped cards.
