Here Comes The Sun

Hello, it's Bank holiday Monday again, it comes round so quickly. I hope you’re all OK and have had a lovely weekend.
It is time for another theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,






This time it was our lovely Sue's turn to choose the theme and she chose "Here comes the sun" - Use something on your creation that makes you feel all sunny, I chose this beautiful lilac bear as I know the sun is here when I smell my lilacs in the garden. But sadly I have sinusitis and my head is killing, so none of my usual handmade flowers today, just couldn't bend over my desk for long enough to make them. So i'm not as pleased with this card.
Of course you must use a House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie to join in.

We are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp who will be giving one lucky winner $25 Gift Card




Hop on over to the challenge blog to see all the challenge details.
