was now exception. It was made for my
daughter, Amber, who is keeping every
critter in her area alive and well. lol! She
feeds squirrels, chipmonks, opposums,
racoons, deer, and a huge variety of birds.
Oh yeah, she also works from home and
cares for her son, Landon Joe (LJ). So,
gets used many times for her.
I made the card an easel card so she
puts it right on her desk while she works.
Google search took me to the measurements
for this card, and the scoring spots too.
I die cut out the pieces needed to create
the squirrel, using different grays and
light pink for the heart and ears and black
for the nose. The tail was cut out twice

Google for images to copy. The main
critter base was used with blue cardstock.
The feet in red. Belly in peach. The cheeks
were in peach using an oval diecut I had
and had to cut to create the right
look for him. An oval cut on white to
make the eyes just so. A die from the
set worked for the black in his eyes.
A paper punch made his black nose.
I made his goofy hands myself and
diecut a "7" out of red for Sonic to hold.
