411 and a blast from the past!

I am not going to miss the 411 sketch this week, lol!  Last week I just missed it.  Seems like it is just so hard to get back on track after being sick for a while.  Anyway this week's sketch on the 411 blog was a super easy one--maybe.  These are actually the type that usually give me a problem--imagine that!  Since the focal spot was quite big I decided to create another little scene with these adorable little guys from the occasions mini set Picnic Parade.

 

I love the squirrel in the tree!  Fun set to play with.  

Stamps: Picnic Parade, Season of Friendship

Paper: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: Old Olive, Basic Black, Chocolate Chip

Other: markers, sponges, embossing plate

This next sample is a real blast from the past!  I don't even know the name of this set.  Many many years ago it was given to me as a sort of RAK from another stamper online.  She even has the images mounted in full squares--not trimmed and it was never used.  That was a long time ago and for some reason I never used it either although I love it.  So I thought it was about time!  Makes a really cute card for a young girl, don't you think.  If you know the name of this set I would love to know.

 

Designer papers and ribbon are non Stampin Up.   The Crushed Curry, Pixie Pink and Whisper White are Stampin Up, along with the corner punch and retired rub-ons. 

Thanks for stopping by today--hope you are having a wonderful week.
