"Fall Cuties"

Hello Whimsical crafters. It is time for another Whimsical Challenge. This week the challenge is to create a card/project and include an animal on it, must be fall themed. Here is my card:
The cute little squirrel is from Create A Critter. I used Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed Face Assortment from Peachy Keen to stamp his face. The barrel is from Doodle Charms, and the pumpkin and squash is from Freshly picked. The crow is an SVG cut from SVG.com. I used little chipboard pieces for the leaves. The were in a pack that my friend Joni sent me. Thanks Joni:) Of course the ribbon is Shabby Crinkle Ribbon from The Prairie Bird Boutique.

I have also created this card using Tanners Simply Everything Stamp Set Volume 1. The sentiments says Has Anyone told you That you are wonderful?! The stamp is from Stampin' Up and is retired. I used my Stampin' Up markers to color it and then added some stickles. All of the cardstock is Stampin' Up. The edges are distressed with SU Perfect Plum classic ink. 

This week we have two sponsors. Our first is Patsy from the Prairie Bird Boutique. Patsy will be giving one random winner a bundle of her beautiful hand died Shabby Crinkle Ribbon. Our second sponsor is Tanner from Mr. Cricut Crazy. One random winner will get to chose a stamp set from his stamp line.Thank you to our sponsors.

If you have been over at the Whimsical Wednesday Blog then you already have read that this is the last challenge for this term. Next week starts a brand new term with new challenges. I will also be making an exciting announcement..I can't wait to finally share it with you all! In order to have everything in once place, and to keep things organized, this will be the new home of the Whimsical Wednesday Challenges. They will still be every week on Wednesday, with most of the same amazing designers.
