We have a squirrel lover in our midst! Marie loves squirrels, so I lovingly dedicate this card to her! I made this card to help combine the themes of brown, November and birthday. I copied an image from a vintage birthday card and created a simple card with it. Background stamp, buttons, a bit of coordinating scrapbook paper and some fall leaves. You can't really see in the photo, but I added some brown Stampin Up flocking to the squirrel. (True confession: The jar is probably 15 years old and I don't think I had ever used it before!) I was afraid to use too much, so I'm not sure that it added anything positive to the squirrel at all, but it was fun to play with!
This is why I am enjoying this swap so much ... I'm digging out card making stuff I haven't used in years and putting it to use! And having fun doing it!

Thanks Linda! This is a cute squirrel!! I love the images on vintage cards.
I haven't done a lot of creating this past year, so I really appreciate this swap!! It's exactly the motivation I needed.
Oh yes, this is perfect for Marie. She loves squirrels without being squirrelly about it...hehehehe!
