Mornin' folks and happy Friday! Hope you've had a good week. Looks like it's going to be nice weather this afternoon (and a little bit cool, YAY FALL!) so I'll probably take Ryan out to the playground. In the meantime, I carved out a few minutes in my craft room to make a card.
Nuts About Squirrels was the #1 stamp set on my wish list when I first saw the holiday catalog :) And yet I've only used it one other time. I'll have to find a balance between playing with retired stamps and enjoying the newer schtuff too. (....yeah I just got another retired stamp set in the mail yesterday that I ordered on Ebay!) Anyway, this squirrel seemed like the perfect choice for this week's Color Throwdown:
I used Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, and Basic White as my colors. So even though the stamps and all the dies (three different sets) are current, I still used some retired DSP and retired colors. Next time I stamp these squirrels I'll have to do some brighter fall colors--some of the native squirrels here (southern Germany) are a gorgeous bright chestnut red color, though I've seen a black squirrel too. These stamps still remind me of the Disney movie The Sword in the Stone, so maybe I'll have to do a blue squirrel sometime.
In the meantime, I'm going to go spend some time with Ryan. I think we're finally going to make that homemade applesauce this morning...cheers!
