I was playing with a cute stamp I bought some years ago from Wee Stamps and have never yet inked up. So I decided to pull out my Promarkers and some distress ink and have some fun. You can find this 'Wee' cutie here at the Loves Rubberstamps store and it's called Xmas Hamster. I took my colour cues from the paper I wanted to use, so went for a grungy finish as they were quite dark tones. But I think this wee hamster looks kinda styley in his dark red Christmas cape with its fluffy trim. I've used a Marvy Uchida Snow Pen for this fluffy edging.

As You Like It: Your Favourite Book Inspiration ~ A favourite Christmas story I've read to my kiddies year upon year is 'The Night Before Christmas', we even have a 'Moshling' version! This sweet little guy totally reminds me of this poem. I know he's a hamster, but I did say 'reminds me', hehe. Are you reciting it now? ... not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!
