Baby Squirrel

Photo Details

Poster: Elizabeth G.

This is for Jan09VSBNC: What's in a Name?

My DD's nickname (one of many since she was born) is 'baby squirrel'. The journaling reads: I'm not sure how your nickname came about, but we like it, so we're sticking with it! It makes it even more special to me when you call me "mommy squirrel" and daddy "daddy squirrel".

The letter and swirls were all cut with my new Slice machine. LOVE THAT! I wanted to use the swirls to mimic the tree that the little squirrel is sitting on.

I still think it is missing something right above the journaling, but I'm not quite sure what. Maybe it's just because I despise my own handwriting? I would love to hear some suggestions!

tfl!

Just adorable!! Maybe you should add an extra button or two to go above your journaling? I think it looks great as-is!

Oh yeah, as soon as I stamp one more dragonfly I'm once more ahead of you by 1.5 pages!!

What fun sweet nicknames and pictures! We love to feed and watch squirrels, chipmunks, and birds. Have named a chipmunk couple my friend from Japan and my middle names, and the birds and squirrels too. So even if we never see each other in person we play in our yard together. Is that Crazy or Sweet? Love the pics of your Cute Button and the branch around the page with the squirrel!
