I just adore Nina from Waffle Flower and I had tons of fun playing with their stamps! 
I had a very specific idea in mind once I picked up the First Step stamp set.  


I first fell in love with the bow included in the set and thought it would look amazing on top of a present. I looked at the rest of the accessories included in the set and realized that most of them would! 


I stared by stamping the present toppers and then used a T-Square ruler to create my own presents. I masked the presents and decorated my wrapping paper with some of the smaller images from Cold Hands. 


After looking at these cute little mice I couldn't help but include them! They just looked completely mischievous and honestly my kind of people haha! 


I was finally able to get this video edited though I basically told random stories the whole time haha. 
You can watch the card and all it's versions in the video below 


Even though I had to work through a bunch of things I didn't love it was worth it because in the end I had a card I did love. 
Don't start over peeps. You can fix it! 

Don’t forget Advent Calendar Extravaganza runs from 1st-25th December inclusive so make sure you visit taheerah-atchia.com every day for fabulous inspiration and amazing prizes every single time! 

Thanks for stopping in guys!

    So glad you persevered through the challenges to design this clever, sweet mice-and-gifts card for us! As always, bedazzled by your creativity (I don't comment often enough, but I haven't missed a post/video the entire year! You have no idea how much you've taught me about copic colouring, image placement and the importance of having 'confidence' in our efforts. So appreciated!). So thrilled that you're part of Taheerah's Advent Extravaganza; I'll be back to watch your video!

    This is a fantastic card. How do you do it every time? I love the big bold accents on the presents, but I think my favorite is the bejewelled snowflake. So pretty. And those are definitely some mischievous mice dancing/skating through the packages. I'm sure your peanut was in no way an inspiration for that. ;) I look forward to watching the video, and thanks for participating in Taheerah's advent calendar. This has been so much fun to do this year!

    Nothing to do with the card but your childhood sounds so so much like mine, Christmas & the parents listening to music but its my children that wonder how I know songs in my life x Merry Christmas Kelly x

    Your card is so pretty and so cute although right now I am not loving mice. We had a box of Old El Paso Stand and Stuff Taco's on the shelves in our basement and the only thing left was a box with a hole in it. Yes, mice! So you can see why I am not loving mice at the moment, although I can say I do love yours. Everything is so colorful and that is so me. I love that beautiful bow and the bejeweled thing on one of the presents. I love everything on your card and I love how on this Advent Calendar no 2 cards are even remotely the same, not even close! I am loving this whole thing! Off to bed and tomorrow more doors to peek into and more beautiful, creative cards to see. I can't wait! Thanks for showing us your adorable card and I hope the skating mouse doesn't fall and for giving us the chance to win something. I will get as creative as you when I win something from one of the stops on this calendar.
