Hello Everyone!
It's time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie. This time Nancy is the hostess and she has chosen the theme "BOUNTIFUL HARVEST". She would like you to create any vintage or shabby chic project celebrating the bounty of the season in the rich hues of Autumn. One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique!
See this sweet little squirrel beside the sentiment? It is actually a clip that was part of a package that my dear friend Anne of Redanne sent me. They are so adorable, I have attached one to my camera bag of course, one to my winter jacket and I used part of one to add to this card which will be going to my family. Just to remind them how important the little things in life really are!!
All of the following products that I used can be purchased at The Funkie Junkie Boutique

Thank you everyone for all your wishes for my missing squirrels. I haven't had any luck yet finding any of them, but my research indicates that many squirrels relocate naturally when the seasons change. My sweet MR SCRUFF has been missing for over a week now, and so with all my heart, I hope he has moved into his winter home and I will see him in the spring. Oh how I miss his little face.
For my macro shot today, I have this very lonely green leaf in the early morning light.
HENRY having a wee nib on what is nowadays, a very rare green leaf.
OK ladies, you know the words, SING IT WITH ME!!
"Because you know I'm all about the bass, bout the bass, no treble!"
This photo is a couple weeks old, but I just can't resist sharing this little cutie pie enjoying her cookie!
BON JOVI saying his thank you before darting up the tree to eat in peace.
A couple of sure signs that winter is on the way...
A male Cardinal coming out from the trees in all his bright red winter plumage!
... and my first Nuthatch sighting. One of our seasonal birds, and one of my absolute favourites!! I'm already working on making friends with these little beauties!
MR SCRUFF checking out my camera lens while I was on my break in October.
"Is there a peanut inside there? I can't think of any other reason for you to shove that thing in my face!"
And my beautiful CRAZY KAREN, so gentle and sweet takes a treat from my hand and captures my heart once again.
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
Beautiful creation, wonderful photos. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

Sorry I have been MIA but we had family here over the weekend (7 extra's in the house) and we are making numerous trips out of town to the big 'base' hospital where all the specialists are as DH has a terminal cancer :-( on top of various other issues.
This card is fantastically gorgeous! Fall without the strong orange and dark tones. I love it! Great photos, too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a stunning card and you even sneaked in a squirrel how clever is that. Amazing photographs as always

Gorgeous card, as always, Pamellia! The squirrel pin is the perfect touch. I always love your furry friends photos. What a wonderful relationship you've formed with them.
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful card is a card that keeps on giving. I didn't see all the beautiful details until you showed the various pics with the little creatures peeking out at various angles. Fabulous shabby chic harvest!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Your bass-loving squirrel looks like his name should be Fat Albert! LOL Don't you love the way his fur is "rippled" on both arms, Pamellia? Makes him almost look striped! The squirrels are all sweet, and remind us that the littlest are often the ones that do the most around us! I love the texture in your macro selection today.
ReplyDeleteNOW FOR YOUR CARD! wowser! That should be put in a shadow box and framed, Pamellia. It looks exactly like you went on a forest excursion, and came back with all the woodland elements to make a collage. Beautiful! As always, I enjoy the ways you tuck little special elements into the various layers. Wonderful creation! hugs, de
Such a SPLENDID fall into winter card. It makes me think that your "Shire" got a light dusting of snow over the fall harvest splendor! I remember last year you were a bit short of the snow though!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. So love seeing all your very special babies. Always makes my day. Xj.
Veeeery beautiful, Pamellia! The tag AND the lovely photographs! TFS!

Oh my good gravy, this card shoots up the list to one of my very favorites of yours, Pamellia!! Of course, I do think that about every card you make ;) I absolutely love how there are layers of goodness everywhere you look!! A cracked frame, an owl, the leaves, tag or an adorable squirrel...it's just endless amazingness!! I love, love every single detail!! Spectacular doesn't even begin to capture the beauty that is this card!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love your sweet fur babies!! You truly do capture them perfectly!! I really love the picture of Bon Jovi and the touch of purple and blue in the background!! Henry is so sweet!! I'd want to capture him and make him a household pet ;) The birds are stunning!! And wow, that macro is amazing!! Love all of these my friend!! Oh, and thanks so much for making the Booty Back song play a continuous loop in my head (note the sarcasm ;) Have a wonderful day!! Big hugs :)

Another gorgeous creation today, love the sweet little owl and the beautiful butterflies - what a fantastic way to use the little squirrel too, he looks really cute!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope that Henry has somewhere to go to for the winter.... I love Cardinals, my favourite bird (we don't have them here :( ), I hope you can get closer to the Nuthatch, they are beautiful birds. I also hope that Mr Scruff is safe and that he has just moved on! Fabulous macro today too. Hugs, Anne xx
A gorgeous card again Pamellia, I think the folk you receive your cards will treasure them forever.
ReplyDeleteSuper photos of the squirrels and birds, The Cardinal looks beautiful.
Yvonne xx
Oh My! This such an amazing card - I had to go back and take another look (and will probably take a few more too) So many gorgeous little details! So happy to see the Cardinal and the Nuthatch - my favourite bird - we rub fat and nuts (from those little feeder balls) on branches to attract them when we go to a place where we see them most. Brilliant macro shot and it's always good to see the squirrels - I am sure they will all turn up again in the Spring. Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteStunning card and the little squirrel embellishment is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, as always.

Gorgeous card! All the layers and embellies are wonderful. Fabulous photos too!
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing layered card Pamellia, I love that it expresses Autumn bouty in all its glory, yet the colours are so soft and delicate! So many fantastic layers, the addition of the little squirel (and the owl too) are wonderful little touches. The photos are spectacular again too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Pamellia, I love this color palette, it has such a golden touch to it. Hugs, Veerle
ReplyDeleteTrés jolie carte! et trés jolies photos!
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous layers, and I love how they are all dusted with snow. That stripey little chipmunk is a show stealer...so very cute. I also love the owl tag and the whimsy of finding butterflies in the snow. Beautiful, Pamellia, but then your work always is!
ReplyDeleteI love love love your autumnal creation ... Every detail is pure heaven! So sorry about your squirrels ... Our all vanished a few months ago so I don't know what has happened to them either... I miss seeing them.
ReplyDeleteOops! I meant to say that all our squirrels vanished...
ReplyDeletePamellia, this may be the only blog I get to visit for the rest of the day, but now my day has been blessed! What beautiful layers and so many details...truly a 'bountiful harvest'! I love the tuck in tag, the owl, the squirrel (that Anne really hit your hot button with these clips!), chippies and even a snow covered butterfly! Oh, how I could sink right into this card!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the amazing photos, too! I really enjoy visiting with your squirrel friends and your macro and Henry shots are incredible! I'm running out of adjectives for your wonderful talents! Sending the biggest hug your way!
Lost for words yet again with your so very beautiful card with so many gorgeous layers and your wonderful photos, love your friendly pals.

ReplyDeleteThat leaf shot is incredible!! I think we shall soon see your photos on national Geographic!! I'm just saying....

What a stunning autumnal card my dear friend, I can see all of those fallen leaves in your design - along with one of two of your woodland friends of course. A really gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteOnce again a fabulous macro shot, you have an amazing talent. I love seeing all the photos of your woodland friends (although I have my favourites of course). By the way the cardinal looks great in his red plumage and the nuthatch is very sweet, I can see why it is one of your favourites.
Dionne xx
Wooooow, this is definitely my new favourite of yours, Pamellia! What a breathtakingly beautiful card this is! I would love to be in your super creative head for at least one day! Spectacular layering, fabulous owl and that squirrel clip is awesome! Brilliantly done, as always, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the update about your furry babies! I am sure they are going to visit you again!
Oooooh, how I love your photos! A real magic! Fantastic macro shot again! My favorite is a Cardinal shot because we don't have them here!
Sending all my hugs to you! Branka xx
I can almost hear those leaves crunch on your gorgeous card Pamellia. Another beautiful creation xx
ReplyDeleteOh Pamellia, this has to one of my new favourites of your cards. I just love the details, especially the sweet squirrel and the perfect quote. Just gorgeous. I am sure all you little friends are around...they are just off visiting friends and family perhaps......:0) Hugs xxx

Hahahaha! I am totally laughing about that song and now it is stuck in my head. The funny little zingers you come up with to accompany your pictures is great! Keep em comin dear Bubbles! Henry is becoming a regular! What a sweet little lad! And of course little Karen steals my heart as well. All of em do!
ReplyDeleteThis card design is now one of my faves of yours. That little squirrel that Anne sent you is so perfectly you! Your layers and details always always always make me wonder how the heck you do it! Quick question-do you plan out your card design before you even start or do you fly by the seat of your pants? Maybe both? Depending on what you are making. Well, it sure gets my head to thinking! Gorgeous and yummyliscious! Hugz to you muffin! ~Doc
Hi Pamellia
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm behind but not been so good again. Oh, to feel normal once more.
Anyhoo, gorgeous card. Looks like someone has gathered up a bunch of Autumn and popped it on a card.
Don't lose heart with the squirrels. The family that used to visit our garden just disappeared all in one go so I prefer to think they've just found another spot to visit.
Best wishes.

Hi Pamellia!!
ReplyDeleteI've been by your blog at least three times to check out your gorgeous card, and every time I got so caught up in the photos I forgot to leave a comment. Honestly, everything that comes out of your craft room is a work of art. Seriously. This card is such a brilliant, Frilly take on the challenge theme. It's layer after layer of beautiful autumnal elegance. And you know how much I love your tiny squirrel:-)) My son was home from college for the weekend and made a comment about the adorability of the squirrels at our feeders. I showed him your wildlife photos and he was beyond impressed. He got quite the chuckle over Bon Jovi-lol. I believe it's your gentle spirit that brings these normally skittish creatures right up to you. It's visible in your art work as well as your stunning photos of the creatures in The Shire!
Hugs,
Nancy
Just had a lovely catch up, this is a lovely subtle Autumn card, love it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I do love the squirrels.
