Altered Mousetraps - Who caught the mouse????

Here are some Altered Mousetraps created by our Rubber Duckies Stamp Group.  We use any craft supplies no matter who makes them.  It's fun to see what each of us comes up with.

If you look close, you will see a mouse on JoAnn's.  It is on the left side, right under the spring.

Okay, where is Michele's Mousetrap????  I need to  take pictures of mine and will add them next.  Michele do you have one done yet???  :)
