Strawberry Slumber

I have a lot of birthday cards to make this month and I rummaged through some stamps I hadn't used in a while. I always love the house mouse stamps - they are so adorable! The dots are the distressed dots background SU stamp, and the happy birthday is from itty bitty banners. The EF folder is new to me - fancy fan. I didn't think I liked it at first and then it grew on me.
