Stamp Review Crew: Buffalo Check

The Stamp Review Crew is featuring the Buffalo Check background stamp today.  I stamped it in Granny Apple Green to look like an old fashioned oilcloth table cover - the perfect backdrop for country jars and flowers.

I may have been inspired by a country wedding I went to last week.  This could be the cutest ring bearer ever!

If you missed Stesha's wonderful work head back there to check it out!

Betty Traciak is up next!  Her work is always wonderful!

I used the sketch at Cas(e) this Sketch for my design.

Fall Color.....FMS356

Fall is my favorite season so I couldn't resist covering the three panels with leaves.  Our leaves are just starting to turn here. You can see a tiny bit of color starting on some trees in this drone photo.  The lake level has been dropped in preparation for the ice and snow to come. Our camp is right in the middle of this picture hidden in a cluster of trees.  I never knew we were surrounded by so many trees!  

So many possibilities with Jen Brum's terrific sketch this week!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Oh Those Critters....FMS355

These little critters are adorable all dressed up for Halloween. And that frog print DSP makes me smile! Hard to tell in the picture but that black paper is glossy and is a great accent!

Speaking of critters I thought you might like a squirrel update.  He has danced merrily around our Have a Heart trap for over two weeks.  Almost every day at breakfast he has launched himself from the hydrangea bush to our now ragged kitchen screen. He would peer through the closed window until I yelled shoo and banged on the glass.  Then back into the hydrangea bush he would go.......until a few days ago.  The Big Guy found him unresponsive on our lawn while our neighbor's three cats watched innocently from the driveway......not accusing them......just making an observation......

Of course squirrels tend to all look alike so it may not be him......but I have had no morning visits since then.  He drove us crazy......so why do I miss that cheeky little fellow?

I love Kim's sketch this week......so many possibilities~! Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!
