House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge # 88 is all about ♥HEARTS♥

Welcome back faithful Mousie Friends, Peeps & followers! :) We ♥ YOU!!!

It's time for a new House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.

But first, a few announcements...

• This is the last Challenge for Tracy - (our first ever Guest Designer who was with us for the month of January!). Thank you Tracy for joining us this month and for your amazing House-Mouse creations. We were lucky to have you and will miss your beautiful work! :)

• Next, we are looking for our next great GUEST DESIGNER to join us on HM&F MC. This GD spot is a monthly position. Since we are a biweekly challenge blog, that means you will be able to join us for 2 Monday challenges, (and sometimes 3, depending on the # of weeks in a given month). If you are interested in being considered for a Guest Designer spot, you must play along on our challenge, enter your creation with our LINKY and also add *GDT* next to your name when uploading your project. This gives everyone a fair chance at a GD spot.

• AND... Guess what??? A previous DT Member of ours who is sweet, very talented and a huge House-Mouse addict has returned home to our little TEAM after a long leave of absence. Wanna guess who it is? Give up? Well then, we wont keep you guessing any longer, it is none other than our very own Stacy Morgan of (Twinshappy)!!! Woohoo! Welcome back home Stacy! We are very excited to have you on board again and cant wait to see more of your gorgeous designs!!!

• And lastly, this Past Saturday on FACEBOOK, House-Mouse Designs® hosted their "1st Annual Meet Artist Ellen Jareckie" event.  It was so much FUN!!! And they had over 100 visitors! Check out the text from this Conversation by clicking on this link HERE to learn all about these adorable characters that ELLEN creates.

Challenge #87 WINNER for the Sponsored prize from *ONE STOP CARD CRAFTS* has been randomly chosen and it is: Tilly of Tilly's Craft Corner. Congratulations Tilly!!!
