This is my second card for Darnell's NBUS Challenge. The link to her great challenge can be found above. My NBUS items is a 3d sheet that I had printed out last year and hadn't used yet to make a card. Also (my other NBUS) acorn and leaf embellishments were given to me as a gift from my sister in law, ages ago so I could use them to decorate my cards.
Anyone who has been following my blog for a while may remember the story I shared on my blog last year..
I told about the day we celebrated my dear friend Cherie's birthday.
I mistakenly thought the name for the restaurant that we were meeting in was named Squirrel something?... Wrong. I was teased all day about that. Then Cherie goes home after our day together and finds a squirrel in her house!
You know that they couldn't let me live that down....So on my birthday they each made me a birthday card with squirrels on the cards.
Cherie, also has been sending me (from time to time) Pics that she finds of squirrels on pinterest.
So, since her birthday is coming soon, I naturally had to send her a card with a squirrel on it.
"The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are,
but how happy others can be because of you."
Thank you for visiting my blog today,
Blessings,
