Four Seasons' SQUIRREL!

Hello, my friends! It's been fun reading all your comments - thanks for sharing your stats with me - and wasn't it fun to find those numbers?  Cheers to continuing to share all our crafty adventures with each other!

I hinted there might be second helpings for Four Seasons Fall challenge, and I had such fun bringing those red squirrels to the party using my Waffle Flower Postage Collage dies and some more of the images from their Home Sweet Home set!



I'm particularly fond of the upper right 'stamp' - I'll find the perfect time to slip this one to my favorite 'nut!'

My friend Amy Tsuruta is still going strong with her Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Congratulations my friend! 


I had a fun die from PTI that hadn't seen the light of day for some time - another perfect die to use up some of those DSPs!  Yay!


I think I've put off that Monday fun long enough - see you again soon!

Oh so cute...I must confess, when I can't go to sleep, I imagine myself like that little squirrel, all curled up in his little nest...isn't that silly?! But it works! And your card WORKS....so much fun all wrapped up in one little package! And the coffee card is yummy too!

Your postage stamps are always so cute, Michele. Yes, that cup was perfect for using up scraps of DSP.

I have been sitting on my hands so I do not buy that postage collage, but you continually make it more difficult not to. I thought I was safe, but no.... I just love this card.

Oh and I LOVE the coffee lovers card too. Great papers. I love it a latte.
