It's time for another Crafts Galore Encore Challenge!
STORY TIME!
"Cuteness Escapes to the Country"
(inspired by The cutie Pie Challenge)
Today, Dancing Squirrel is showing off her scrapbook photos of the great fun enjoyed!
Being a "City Squirrel", my cutie, Silly Dancing Squirrel, enjoyed a lovely day, escaping to the country. She scampered up trees, leaping from branch to branch, and chattered the day away with new country friends! While there, Dancing Squirrel made a new friend, and she has promised to come back very soon.
If you follow Pamellia's Beautiful "My Little Craft Things" blog,
you will recognize Dancing Squirrel's sweet friend!
none other than Pamellia's Pumpkin!
I am very glad Pumpkin was there for Dancing Squirrel on her first trip to the country.
Pamellia, thank you for teaching little Pumpkin such good manners, and showing Dancing Squirrel the ropes for proper country deportment!
OK, sorry - I got carried away -

Hallo liebe Donna,

That is such a cute and adorable little squirrel and great coloring on it. I love how you made so many layers with all those die cuts too! This design sure made me smile and I can see it as a cute card design to have around for fun birthdays and get well wishes.
Donna, I'm so excited about what you did with those particular die cuts! I have most of the die sets you used and that means I'm probably going to be CASEing the 'wonky' card because I adore the design, including the image and the flower embellies.
Such adorable cards! Great work
Such wonderful, bright and cheerful cards Donna, such a fun image and brilliant designs - I love all of the layers and the beautiful die cut frame you have used.
