3 Fall Mice, 2 FREE Frogs & a...

not so Itsy Bitsy Spider.
(All I'm missing are the Lords a Leapin')
but I've got Ian here, so even the leaps are taken care of!
This week at The Pixie Cottage
we are delving into CHALLENGE #36
In addition to a sketch, our theme is Mellow Fruitfulness
(that's fancy Katie lingo for Autumn/Fall) :)
You have the option to use one or the other or both!!
Link back your NEW creation to The Pixie Cottage -CHALLENGE #36
for a chance to win Pixie Cottage Stamps

I branched out this week and tried my hand at the
oh so popular Easel Card~
I can see why they are always oooooh and ahhed over~
I love the dimension and moving parts!!
On the front I showcased one of my latest images:

And used this week's sketch by Adrina...

So...which of the little critters do you relate to?
Are you excellent at the balancing act called life?

Are you prepared, sheltered or full of surprises?




Or are you just so plum tuckered you are in need of a cat nap?



I'd love to read which you match.
Happy creating!!


***********
I mentioned 2 FREE Frogs...
HOP on OVER to The Pixie Cottage
and enjoy a special gift from Miss Michelle & moi...
2 ARTishtic froggies engrossed in a

lifting game of leap frog
can be yours wit a click! THEN tune in next week for an opportunity to use them!!!
*****************************************************


The third element of my title was the "not so itsy bitsy spider"
If the mice didn't have you squealing SHE might!
Sienna pointed her out yesterday..."Yikes"
(at least she is on the outside of the window!)




Spooky, intriguing and Challenge Worthy for her zig-zag stitching!!!



Embrace the little things in life;
fuzzy white mice, BIG scary spiders, fidgety frogs,
or NOT!


Either way, have an awesome day!!
