Those Meeces Are At It Again!

Good morning everyone! Is everyone looking forward to the weekend?

I went grocery shopping with hubby yesterday, hubby pushed the trolley while i wheeled myself around in one of the stores wheel chairs. It was a right laugh!!

Talking of laughs, here's a fun clean and simple card i made using those cute little mice from House Mouse created by the lovely Joanna Sheen. I've coloured them with Copics and heat embossed their fur. I also heat embossed the friends sentiment and the edges around the image, both sentiments are from Joanna Sheen. I used a cream A6 card and some Kraft card.
