Hello, friends! I know that you know I love my Penny Black critters. Lately I've been loving the mice as much as the dogs and cats, and the little hedgies are stepping right up there, too. Today I have another of my self-made card kit creations.
It's the Time to Celebrate set combined with a Cottage Cutz sentiment die, and using the go-to layout I was having fun with at Christmastime. I changed it up a little with different dies and an embossed background.
There's lots of party time sparkle on the starbursts, punched circles, and party hats. Coloring is Copics, including sentiment and stars.
Sparkle inside, too, with a Penny Black Birthday Love sentiment.
With all the spots and dots on my card today I'd like to play along in the following challenge:
Sisterhood of Crafters -- Spots & Dots
Well, that was fun! I made one more card with this set, but I'll save it for later. I do so appreciate having this craft and my big toy box as a diversion where all is well and happy. Thanks for being here with me!

What a fun card, Leslie! I can almost hear the music they are dancing to and smell the birthday cake! Thanks for bringing the party to us this morning! What a great layout too!
Love this cute cute critter card, PB stamps are the best and what a darling party they are having. Another fabulous design and thanks for playing at The Sisterhood of Crafters, too!!
Leslie, what a fun card. I love the lay out and the bits of sparkle. And you know I love the texture of the base. SO clever to add the sparkle dots.
I'm so glad you're having fun with these kits, Leslie! What a fabulous card! The adorable dancing critters look so great with the textured background and pretty layout. I love the sparkle and the way you used two tones to color the sentiment.
That's adorable, Leslie! And you know how much I like that layout. I think your card kit idea is wonderful! Sometimes the hardest part is coming up with something to create.
Delightful card Leslie! These happy critters are the best and your coloring and design so fun! Seeing your dots made me think of the embossing folder challenge you could link to! I can't remember the name of it though! lol
What a fun birthday card! I love PB stamps as well. I have a lot of the mice - so cute! whoever is the recipient is going to love all the colors and sparkle.
Those little animals really do make birthday cards fun. I love how you have combined die cuts, stamping and embossing on this. It is a great happy little birthday card. Love the sentiment too, it made me laugh out loud. I can see that you enjoyed making this xx
When the party involves polka dots, count me IN!! This pair is extra sweet and your card is perfectly delightful!

Everything about this screams CUTE! I especially love the critters.
Love the cute critters and all the beautiful sparkle. It does scream PARTY!
We are so lucky to have a 'happy place' to escape to in these troubling times. Your card certainly brought a big smile to my face this morning! LOVE your design and all the sparkle is just the 'icing on the cake' ... hmmm did someone say CAKE? LOL
