Hang in there... CAS-ual Fridays Challenge

I'm back for a second post today.  I saw the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays CFC64 yesterday, and I had an idea right away.  I just didn't know if I'd have time to make the card this weekend.  Well, I managed to put my idea on paper...and then cardstock :)

Here is the challenge:

A clean and simple project featuring things you'd see in the sky.

And this is the idea that popped into my brain:

This little squirrel-y guy is part of the Hang In There stamp set from Paper Smooches.  I've used him several times before and he's such a fun little character!  The stamp has his arms reaching above his head.  Well, I decided to cut his arms and paws off - oh dear, that doesn't sound good.  Anyway, then place his paws over the edge of the cloud as if he's holding on.  I gave him a shiny nose with some glossy accents, then I just HAD to add some google eyes.  Had to.
And you know what?  This card turned out just the way I pictured it.  That really doesn't happen very often...lol.

Thanks so much for spending a minute or two at my blog.  I hope you'll leave a comment!
