Less is More the Penny Black Mice Way

Lucky for me I made this dinky card the other day, simply didn't feel like making cards yesterday. I made for the Less is More sketch not sure if its passes muster but I like it.
I was looking for another Penny Black stamp and saw this long one with five mice and the idea of the LIM sketch came into my head. So I carefully covered two of the mice up and the rest was plain easy.
The pink borders are a punch from Stampin Up and the sentiment is Penny Black.
Thanks for the lovely messages about my Dad, went up to see him yesterday and he has a much better colour than I've seen for weeks but that could be that he is having blood transfusions at the moment since they found he is very anaemic. We can't get Mum into respite till Monday but they've increased her carers.

Phew managed to blog using IE not sure whats happening this morning with Mr Blogger!

Lovin these little PB mice Debbie.. And I definitely think they pass LIM muster! Fab design.. As always!
It's tough worrying about our parents.. I lost both of mine in the 80's.. But my MIL is very close to my heart, and now she's I'll.. Having to have transfusions once a month. She's 87. But she grits her teeth and gets on with it.. What a different generation!

Craftdee said...

As I can't comment on every one of your cards (time, time, time), though they're all so gorgeous and worthy, I picked this one because I think it is extra cute. I haven't seen this stamp before, its so sweet! I love everything about it, TFS, Dee PS My folks are in their 80s too, so I know exactly what you mean about the phone ringing.
