Toad In The Hole

I was doing my morning chores a couple of days ago when I noticed an anomaly along the edge of my back porch. It looked like a hole, but not quite a hole. I leaned in a little closer and this is what I discovered.

I'm betting that he's decided to take up residence under my porch because the bugs are fabulous catching here. There's a street light around the corner and there are small spilled bits of grain crumbles that attract insects.

But he better watch out for Bruce the Bullsnake. If Bruce gets a clue that he's here, it won't be the bugs that are the dinner.

For 30-day-Sketch Challenge. Sketch #9.

Papers are My Mind's Eye 29th Street Market from Hobby Lobby.
Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

The die cut label is by StampinUp, the Poppy is from a McGill Geranium punch, and the little white flowers are dressed up with some Puffy Velvet pen.

	By Dancinirish90 20-Sep-12 I love the brown and blue here - and the simple flower cluster with the fussy cut layering. I had to click and zoom up on this one to get a good look. I have old photos almost identical to these, but mine have baby bunnies in the grass hole. Love your title work here too :)

	By MrsCDJ 20-Sep-12 I love the colors on this and how you worked (fussy cut?) the leaves on the paper into being the leaves on the flower cluster!

	By Astacy5 19-Sep-12 Great LO! Your stories are always such fun.

	By Ccclaw 19-Sep-12 Such a cute page - I loved toads as a kid too. I had a big one that I kept in a large open pail one summer with grass, rocks and water. We called him "Siegrunt" and would laugh ourselves silly saying, "See Siegrunt, grunt". We didn't have to worry about bullsnakes.
