Nutty Squirrels

Mornin' y'all!  How's your Wednesday going?  Ryan has STEM club after school today so that means I get an extra hour kid-free.  Well, not entirely, since I have Daphne : )  She did pretty well on our walk yesterday; we've been a little worried that she goes bonkers when she sees or hears other dogs but she did better with that yesterday.

Anyway, I figured that one Tahitian Tide card deserved another so here we are:


And here's the Retro Rubber challenge that I started with:


I used Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Orchid Oasis, and Tahitian Tide for my colors.  Nuts About Squirrels is 3 years old and I was inspired to use it for today's card by the As You See It challenge:


One of the squirrels has an acorn, and I found another one in an old My Paper Pumpkin set to add a few more to my card front.  These squirrels always remind me of The Sword in the Stone when Merlin turns Wart and himself into squirrels as a teaching exercise.  Also I watched both this movie and Robin Hood over the past couple of days : )

That's it for me today, kids.  I'm going to go play with Daphne until it's time to get Ryan off to school.  Cheers!

  1. Those extra little nuts make this card shine, I think. I like the way you've incorporated that array of cool colours too - they work well. Thanks for sharing with us at As You See It.

  4. Christy, those grey squirrels seem to fit with the cool colour palette you've chosen. With the theme, I keep expecting a warm colour combo, so this is a surprise - a good one! Thanks for rocking our theme at As You See It Challenges!
