How amazing. I had no idea that raccoons built nests! I don´t know a thing about them but I´m pretty sure he isn´t sharing it with your first guess, the squirrel. Love the muted shades and the background patterns in this most unusual winter LO.

How cool...a raccoon! I never knew they built nests either, but then usually only see them either raiding something which means food, or unfortunately not alive on the side of the road. This is the best way to see them!!

Wow you've got good eyes! I think racoons are adorable but they can do so much damage! They can also open any cooler ever made no matter what kind of latch it has. They're VERY clever! On one camping trip they stole a pound of bacon, a package of sliced ham, and pulled the lid off of a tub of butter leaving footprints inside. All this in one night while we slept. LOL This is a really cute layout. I love the soft colors in this month's Club Deco kit.

Wow, I like the rest of them didn't realize that racoons built nests like that. I really like the layering in this layout with the different ribbons behind the photo. Those papers in the kit are wonderful with the snowflakes.

This is neat! You had to have sharp eyes to see the raccoon's back. The colors, papers, and swirls give your layout a real feeling of winter.

What a great photo and the kits you have used are really wonderful for this winter shot. I love the theme for this month's Club Deco kits, and the colours are great.
The swirls and the paper strips and the round snowy mat all go well to create a beautiful page.
