Dashing Deer

A few dashing deer today!  I had all these scraps on my desk from left over cards and figured it was time to get them off and do a little clean up around here.  Not too much clean up though for sure! 

These little guys and the sentiment are from Paper Smooches.  I used a die from Lawn Fawn and from Simon Says Stamp for the scene and also used embossing paste with a snowflake stencil for the "snow".  A few sequins were added, the deer popped up, and it's a done deal.

Deer season is getting ready to start around here in the next couple of weeks and you can really tell since all the guys are now dressed in camo - just waiting for the big day.  I swear they must have camo undies on too.....guess that'd come in handy out in the brush if you had to drop your pants for some reason or another though!

I'll take these little guys over to Pixie's Crafty Workshop for her challenge on snippets.

This may be it until next week.  I need some type of lightening bolt of inspiration to hit me pretty quick I think - or at least a couple of days where life doesn't seem to interfere with my fun. 

Thanks for stopping by..........
Lynn

So cute and creative! I don't know who else could use scraps and create such a cute card. Love the embossing paste snow too (i'll have to look for that stencil).

This is a fun, fun card, Lynn. Any guy that sees it would grin really big. Camo underwear, huh? Well, you may have a point about why they need to wear them. HAHAHA
Super card!!!

Oh Lynn, these bucks are too cute!! I love how you have colored them and I love the snowy scene. Archery has been in around here and so we've been seeing a lot of camo too. lol I know Dwayne has told some guys he knows that they could hunt here on the farm because we just have to many deer eating the crops. But it saddens me as I love seeing them and figure we have to feed God's creatures too. Dwayne doesn't quite see it the way I do. lol Lets hope life slows down some so you can have time to play! Hugs, Brenda

Donna Hanley said...

Very cute card, Lynn. Those sequins are a great tough. It won't be too long before we see completely white trees around here. They are predicting a little snow here for the weekend. Sorry I've missed so many of your posts, but hopefully I'm finally on the right road to recovery now. Enjoy your day.
