Our final Little Red Wagon challenge of 2022 is hosted by the lovely Imke and she wants to see "Angels".
Of all the cards I've ever made, this one took me the most amount of time to create. That's because there were supposed to be six of them. I stamped and coloured six sets of those mice (including a set of Joseph) but, when I cut them on my Scan'N'Cut, the poor little mice all lost their tails. It was something horribly reminiscent of the Three Blind Mice nursery rhyme. Fortunately, little Jesus had his tail tucked safely away under his swaddling clothes and was spared. Anyway, I had to quickly do up another (single!) set of the nativity leading cast and fussy cut them. Despite five remaining backgrounds, I decided I was done! And Joseph seemed to crowd the scene so I opted to leave him out. Perhaps Mary sent him off to pick up some extra finger foods to serve all the unexpected guests.
I used an MFT stencil to create my multi-scene background and then stamped with a sentiment/verse from Sweet and Sassy's Born This Day stamp set. The adorable little mice are from Clearly Besotted's Nativity Play stamp set (which seems to be discontinued). Hopefully, Imke is okay with my angel having big ears and a tail!
Please head over to Little Red Wagon to be immersed in angelic inspiration - and then use an angel (or a multitude of heavenly hosts!) to create your own project.
Wherever you are, I wish you a very happy Christmas and/or the happiest of holidays to those who celebrate differently. Whatever you believe, may your holidays be filled with joy and peace.

Gorgeous sweet card Kate with your little critters and I did giggle and really shouldn't have of those mice with their tails cut off, how awful, hee,hee, have a very Merry Christmas and see you next year..
Luv CHRISSYxx
Super cute, Kate! Love your mice and especially the angel. Your post made me smile; poor little mice to have lost their tails. Can't say as I blame you for keeping it to the one card. Six fussy cut cards like this would have been a wee bit much to do.
And a P.S...Happy Holidays to you & yours, Kate!
Totally sweet, Kate. Merry Christmas to your and your loved ones !
Hugs from Germany,

You made me chuckle, but at least all your work turned out a spectacular card. Merry Christmas, Kate!
Tee hee, Joseph picking up fingers food sounds just about right. (: Super cute card, Kate! Such a sweet scene. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas, Girlfriend!
