Sketch #430~Nuts About Squirrels, Stampin Up

I just knew I'd have to purchase this cute squirrel set. 

I have such a good time watching these little critters

in our yard.  They make me laugh.  

They love our black walnut tree, and are quite helpful

in planting news ones everywhere.  

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Nuts about Squirrels. 

Isn't that little squirrel adorable?   I love his little paws

on the acorn.   That sentiment is something I would 

always say to my kiddos when they were little.  

It took me a few tries to get it all lined up.  Had to put 

the reading glasses on to make sure I could see what I 

was doing.  Sometimes I really have to hover over a 

stamped image quite a bit before actually adding the 

colored section of it down.   Hope that makes sense. 

I then fussy cut the images out and proceeded

to glue them all down.  

It kind of looks like I chose fall colors, but they

caught my attention today, so I went with it.  

I think it turned out cute. Mr. Gray Squirrel 

really stands out with a few dimensionals.  

I'm including a few pictures, of the 

squirrels playing in our yard today.  

They are a bit blurry.  But the little 

rascals are all over.  

Health News:  I'm having a bit of trouble again

with the blood pressure.  and breathing is 

getting difficult on somedays.  Now 

my left foot is turning hard.  So it's been 

a bit painful lately.  Just when a gal

thinks that the holistic clinic was the answer 

things start going crazy again. (sigh)  Any ways,

the raynauds is acting up and so it looks like 

we are back at square one.  

 I mention this all just to ask for more prayers

please, and to keep you all updated.  You've all 

been so kind to me.  I have a specialist appointment 

coming up Aug. 19th.  So hopefully, praying he 

will be able to give me some extra help.  How to 

control these autoimmune diseases better.

I've stressed myself out over our house painting project. 

It really shouldn't be so hard to pick a color, but

for me it truly is.  I will share a picture.  

Please note that our little 945 square foot home 

has two rooms that are connected.  So, we paint 

them the same.  I love dark rich colors.  It has been

indigo blue, hunter green, and lastly we put a chair rail 

up with burgundy under it and a little neutral on top.  

Well after watching some gals on the instagram I thought

I needed to try a white space.  Well folks, it's brighter,

but it looks cluttered now.  Just imagine all the furniture 

back by the white part.  It just seems too busy.  I

Would love to hear some of your suggestions please.
