I've never figured out why we celebrate only one New Year each year. I mean, think about it - each time you have a birthday, you are starting a new year of your life. Every school child starts a new year when s/he moves from one grade level to the next. Anyone who changes jobs or gets a promotion starts a new year in that position. So, this card is my salute to a new birthday year. :-D
This House Mouse stamp is also new but I spent no money to get it. I was lucky enough to win one of the House Mouse challenges and I chose this as my prize! I'm still following the "challenge-yourself" idea being promoted by my blogging buddy, V. It's called "Just Stash January" and it involves using nothing but things already in your stash throughout the entire month of January! There are a few reasonable exceptions (all of which mean that no money has come out of your pocket) and you can read about those on her post. Just click on the link above to find out all about it, then start counting those coins and bills you'll be 'stashing' in your pocket this month instead of crying about even more charges on the credit cards after the holiday season. :-D Everything on this card came from the stash.
I want you to know that these cute little mice looked everywhere, trying to find a 'cupcake' for the birthday cake but all they could find was a box of stale donuts so this has to do as a substitute for the cupcake.

Wellllll that kind of looks like a birthday 'donut' vs 'cupcake' to me ... but I'll let it slide! LOL Fun creation Connie! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘CUPCAKES’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Stale or not, those House Mouse mice aren't picky. They look ever so cute and so does your card. I love the plaid paper and the beautiful lace. Thank you for joining us at House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge. {Bunny} Designer for House Mouse and Friends
