Frilly and Funkie - Friday Focus - Pion Design

Hello Everyone! I am here today hostessing the Friday Focus over at Frilly and Funkie! I thought I would share some information and projects using the papers from Pion Design that Linda carries at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.  I do hope you will pop on over and visit me!

The world is starting to get lush with green and the bit of rain last week has given the foliage a growth spurt. YAY!! Just a few mixed shots today as I practice with better camera settings and angles.

This little baby squirrel is keeping himself cool by laying on a log and shading himself with his tail. I see this sort of thing a lot when it's hot. Any type of wood will do, a fence, a log, a branch, even a deck.

Does everyone remember Mr. Squirrel Bon Jovi??

Well look at him now! He has his brand new fancy summer coat of fur on! Isn't he handsome!

I think I will officially be switching from my token 'morning coffee' shot to my token 'after-dinner' shot. First of all, who the heck is awake at 4:30am to watch the sun come up! Second of all, that big tree in the front is effectively making the shots hard to get. Oh well, I still have this...

OK, so this next one was just for fun. I took a shot of this cool leaf in the dark and then tweaked it all artsy like afterwards. The original photo was just a big black smudgy bunch of nothing! Fun stuff!

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.

It's been kind of rainy and overcast here for the last few days...didn't stop me from getting outside and enjoying nature for a few minutes. It was actually quite peaceful outside, since it was just me and the birds! haha

I love to get outside and enjoy all kinds of weather, but Pebbles believes nature is a spectator sport, so she is quite content to watch the rain from the safety and dryness of my craft desk! WUSS!

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.

Frilly and Funkie - Friday Focus - Wedding/Anniversary Card

Hello Everyone! I am here today hostessing the Friday Focus over at Frilly and Funkie! I will be playing with some of the wonderful stencils that Linda carries at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

I decided to put together a card that can be used for a wedding card or for an anniversary card. The "together forever" sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Chit Chat sticker book and I think it will work for both occasions just fine. I do hope you will pop on over and visit me as I share the tutorial on how I created all of the panels for this card using nothing but stencils.
