  • Flower – Petaloo “Mini Daisies-Grey/Black”

Nuts About You – FMS #125

  • Digital image – Doodle Pantry “Nutty for You”
  • Stamps – Stampendous “Tiny Acorns” and Simon Says Stamp “Giving Thanks”
  • Patterned paper – Doodlebug Designs Kraft in Color 6 X 6″ pad
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

It was fun to create this card using Sketch #125 at Freshly Made Sketches. I must admit though, such a simple sketch almost made designing it more difficult! I got to use a squirrel image, which is always a plus! I colored this guy from Doodle Pantry with Copic markers, along with the little acorn stamped images. After fussy cutting them, I popped-up both the squirrel and the acorns with a little bit of dimensional adhesive. It will be a great OWH card for a child. Thanks for visiting today.

Squirrely! Squirrely! Shake your bushy tail! So this is a camp song that my son taught me. He’s pretty crazy for squirrels. This past summer, his first as a counselor, he chose his camp name to be “Chipmunk.” I colored this image with Copic markers and created a nice woodgrain textured background. The Memory Box acorn just seemed like a natural accessory for Squirrely. I created this card for my latest Operation Write Home (OWH) boxes, and I’m a little late (read: a LOT late!), but this is a card fitting for the OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge from the week before last: Love Cards for Kids. Thanks for visiting.

Well, thank you for visiting!
