Today I am sharing my first ever Communion card featuring wood embellishments from Scrapiniec and papers from Pion Design collection "My Dearest Sofia". Communion cards are supposed to be simple designs, how hard was that for me!! lol

Life has been a tad crazy for me here this last while. With my squirrel nursery now open for business and I have also taken in my very first baby raccoon! Feedings every 2 hours makes it difficult to find time for anything else, but it's totally worth it!!

BABY RACCOON!
Does everyone remember my raccoon friend Big Kate? Well she's the proud Mamma of three little babies! I've named the two larger boys Lesley and Wesley. There was a wee runt too, and I've named her Little Kate! This is one of the boys!
"Oh, it's you again. Are you going to follow me around all day? I'm getting bored of posing for you!

My little friend Dale. I still haven't gotten a clear view to see if Dale is male or female. Either way, Dale is such a special little squirrel and I'm so glad to have met her. I mean him, I mean her... Doh!
"I know what you're gonna say human, but I'm raising like a billion babies, so I'll lay down in the buffet if I want to!

Wow!!! You made a really amazing communion card! The wooden frame under the IHS stamped imge looks so gorgeous and matches so well with the doily and all the laces!! Love the colors, too, and the little flowers!!! It's more simple that your usual shabby cards, but not too much, with all these layers!! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat means "squirrel nursery"? You have some baby squirrels at your home? Adorable googling and dove and such a surprise knowing that Big Kate has three cute baby-raccoons! The male on the tree just melts my heart!! :)
So glad to "meet" (virtually)your new squirrel friends, Cher Cher and Dale! So cute!
And I'm Sooooo Very Happy to see Crazy Karen again!!! :D Yay!
Biggest hugs!

ReplyDeleteA simply stunning Communion card Pamellia!! A truly elegant design, lovely colour mix and so beautifully embellished. This will be treasured for sure!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that your squirrel nursery is now open and you actually have taken on a baby raccoon. Will be a lot of hard work for you but so worth it and so rewarding as well! Love the wildlife shots as always, especially the raccoon and little dale. He/she is gorgeous!! Have a wonderful day! hugs xx
A beautiful card Pamellia - just perfect for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, especially of Crazy Karen and Dale - he/she looks as though they are half undressed the way they are moulting.
Blessings

ReplyDeleteSuch a soft and beautiful card Pamellia, I am sure it will be treasured! All your wild life photos are wonderful, but my favourite must be the little raccoon, - what a darling!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your squirrel nursery too!!
Your card will be treasured forever, such a beautiful card, doesn't look like you found it hard to do. Love your piccies, I got down to take a piccie at ground level today, struggled to get back up, so your patience of getting down and dirty is to be VERY much admired LOL.

ReplyDeleteGolly, you are a busy bee, every two hours is a huge commitment and well done you for taking it on, I am sure the babies will develop well under your wonderful care! Hugs, Anne xx
Oh so pretty! Such lovely colours too. So happy to hear you get to spend time doing something you love so much.....I bet that baby raccoon is super sweet! (Not to dismiss how cute the squirrels are, of course, but we have baby raccoons around here now and again so I'm more partial to them. (: )
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Pamellia! Love all the layers in the background.

Hi Pamellia
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Must confess that I had to look up what IHS is (I've led a sheltered life lol!).
Lovely to see Crazy Karen doing so well.

Oh wow Pamellia, your communion card is gorgeous, so increadible pretty. I love all of the layers of lace and the fabulous soft colours.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to see all of your friends, the new babies are so sweet but it is great to see Crazy Karen doing so well. The colours in Dale's coat are amazing.
Have a great weekend.

Yes, I am really late, and I know I've missed a few more. Just no time for the computer these days. But it sounds like you would totally understand with that feeding schedule! How sweet you take on these babies! Love the new raccoon family and the names you've given them! Has Dale been shaved? My Biscuit looks like this right now--really starting to lose a lot of fur. Vet says it's fleas, but she's been on meds for months and we have never found a flea on her. If she's not asleep she's pulling her hair out.
ReplyDeleteYour Communion card is gorgeous, even in it's simple (but not really) design! You can make anything look beautiful, you know that? Hugs!
