Hey friends, it's time for one of our most popular Lawn Fawnatics challenges of the year: Inspired by a Book, Movie, or Song! People get so creative with this one! It always blows me away. For my card, I was actually inspired by two picture books in the same series: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Happy Valentine's Day Mouse.
I needed a mouse in overalls, so I pulled in one from Berry Special and added images from Milk and Cookies, along with a trio of hearts from the Scent with Love Add-on. I colored them with Copic markers to match the patterned paper that I wanted to use, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.
I adore patterned paper, and I wanted to pull in a lot of different prints for this card. I used one from Candy Cane Lane and two from Rainbow Ever After for the cardbase. Then I used a fourth print from Spiffy Speckles, which I trimmed out with the Doily Hearts for my focal panel.
This is also Day 4 of my 2026 Valentine Card Series, so if you'd like to see how it came together, click the video thumbnail below, or you can find it HERE on my YouTube channel. I really hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to check out the rest of the Design Team samples on the Lawn Fawnatics blog and link up your own projects to play along! We can't wait to see what you create!
