Furry Friends at Creative Knockouts

Summer has arrived and so has a new challenge at Creative Knockouts! 

Our theme for this challenge is Furry Friends and we have a fun and fab sponsor, The Paper Shelter who is generously donating 3 images to the winner!

This cute and furry image is The Most Adorable Raccoons.  I think these animals are so darn cute (in the image and in person).  I colored them up with Copics then used the Fab Frame die from Paper Smooches.  

Okay, time for my raccoon story - one of our cats likes to jump from the tree onto the roof and scratch at our bedroom window when she's left out at night.  Since my hubby wears earplugs, I'm always the one to get up and open the window to let her in.  One night there is scratching at the window so I get up thinking it's our cat ... as I'm walking to the window I'm thinking that the shadow looks a bit odd and it's only when we're face to face I realize it's our resident raccoon.  Freaked me out, so much so my hubby jumps up not sure what's going on - it was very funny actually.  He shooed the raccoon off and he hasn't been back since!  

I hope you have fun with our new challenge and can't wait to see your furry friends!
