Nuts!

Pin It

A few weeks ago, Mabelle let the DT pick out a few digis from her store. I swear I wanted every digi there but I knew I had to have this squirrel. There is just something about this image that makes me smile. I wish the squirrels around my house were this cute instead of chewing holes in my bird feeders.

Mabelle just shared with us a peek of the Christmas digis that she will be putting on the store on October 18th. They are soooooo cute! Once again, I don’t know how to pick…. Make sure you stop back here and the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog to check them out on October 18th!

Thank you for stopping by!

  • Stamps: Acorn Squirrel (digital stamp) from Whimsy and Stars Studio, Trees, Birds & Messages from Hero Arts
