When I saw Debbie's wonderful gallery, full of critters and hedgies - my favourite kind of thing, I knew I had to do the FS stamper challenge. I used the same image as Debbie did, but changed colours and changed up the layout. Here is the card that I cased - Cockeyed Birthday Wishes by swldebbie at Splitcoaststampers
I fussy cut out the image, and popped it up on foam tape. I put a wee bit of stickles on the 'fur of the hedgies, as Debbie did, and I used an EF on my red layer, but a different style -a Tim Holtz distressed squares. I put Diamond Glaze on the pencil
Debbie, fabulous gallery -and I'll be visiting often so as to get more inspiration.
Thanks for looking! I will be back tomorrow to comment.

Like Marg Down Under my MIL got me into crosswords too. She is 92 and still doing them and all sorts of other puzzles also. I love the hedgies anytime but this image is just great! Like the EF background and the matting as well. We do crosswords at the cottage all summer. TFS

Oh, it's so good to see you've been continuing to keep the world safe while I've been absent due to vacation and a computer crash. I can read the invisible code in each of the blank squares. Oooh, I've missed so much in the espionage world. I'm painfully trying to catch up on comments and just had to drop by when I saw these little "spy" critters masked as a birthday card. Oh, that intellect of yours...Your card is cute as can be Debz and I hope to upload again soon. I only have 1 card I haven't uploaded b/c of lack of time, mojo, computer problems and vacation. Whew! Hope I can make one as cute at yours fellow Agent.
