  9. What a fun image Katrina, it's a clean cut CAS design and pleasing on the eye, many thanks for sharing at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges.

    I have a great fondness for Squirrels and spend far too much time watching their antics, especially this time of year, one will go to great lengths to bury it's stash, only for another to pop along ten minutes later and dig it it (we have both black, grey and a blend of the two so easy to identify).

  18. What a beautiful combination of the flourish and the adorable squirrel... and enjoyed watching the video showing how you created your flourish from Cricut. You are such an experienced Cricut user and wish I had kept on top of it for designing, it seems the only time I go to Cricut is when I don't have a stamp and/or cut that I need. Adorable card. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Double Trouble.
