Christmas Carol Mouse
I saw this mouse on Ellen Kemper's site and I just had to play around with him! He is so cute! I made mine a carolling Christmas mouse. This little guy is all punches so I will tell you whats what. Sorry, no time for step by step pictures today.

Mouth - small oval punch with end cut down
Nose - small heart in Heart to Heart punch with a little trimmed off the point
Feet - 3/4 inch circle punch - cut in half gives you 2 feet
Arms/hands - small oval punch - cut in half gives you 2 arms, folded to make the hand holding toe carols
Hat brim - scallop oval punch using one of the curved ends

Choc. chips - end of small heart from the Heart to Heart punch
