A Raccoon's Curiosity

**This is my second post for today, for more inspiration,
please scroll down to see two cards made with the Artful Delight October Card Kit**

The leaves are orange, the air is crisp and the raccoons' curiosity have them venturing out (only to be chased by little coon hounds and little hunters)...it must mean that it is fall! Lawnscaping is celebrating with a blog hop! You should have arrived from Janice's Blog (...you can find all links over at the Lawnscaping Challenge site!)

Truth be told I don't have any of the "normal" fall Lawn Fawn stamps, so I grabbed all my sets, laid them out and looked for an image that reminded me of fall. The cute little raccoon critter from Lawn Fawn's Critters in the Forest as my muse. He was stamped, colored and fussy cut before being placed on a stark deep orange background. All the color choices were influenced by the inspiration photo. The sentiment is a classic, from Sophie's Sentiments.

I purposely chose a lot of textured elements for a base to rest the raccoon on, after being inspired by the current Lawnscaping Challenge: Use Texture. I have a piece of birch bark, an embossed woodgrain slip of cardstock, some linen textured patterned paper and a piece of cool May Arts burlap.

I mentioned the season of fall brings out little coon hunters and hounds, my littlest received a black and tan pup from his grandpa for his birthday.

Here's some information about the hop: You have until Sunday, October 7th, at 7:59AM, EST, to leave comments on all the blogs to be eligible for a prize!  The winners will be announced on Monday, October 8th. More details can be found on Lawnscaping's blog.

Your next stop is Lenny!
