Mad Mice in the Summer Sun

WAHOO!! NINE challenges in one card. It helped that several challenge blogs are thinking summer. I’m down to the wire for the Midnight Madness Challenge (along with the 365 Cards challenge). If you haven’t checked out the ‘madness’ yet, STOP ON BY!!! The crew is so friendly and they are offering MAD MONEY (cold, hard cash) to a random winner this month. The pot increases if they reach their follower goal. This card was lots of fun once I got into it. I’ve done paper piecing before but never the added dimension of paper tole. The flower ‘shades’ were perfect for ‘popping up’. (Please see the Ins and Outs for links to the challenge websites and feel free to join in the fun).
