Happy Thanksgiving

I have a couple of Thanksgiving type cards to show that I better do today since starting tomorrow it will be all about Christmas.  
This first card I am going to use for Crazy 4 Challenges have to have circle on your card. It's a small and only one but it's there. I hope that it qualifies.


This image is from Robyn's Fetish. The first one I colored with Copic markers. I don't really have a large collection of colors yet so I wasn't completely satisfied with the results. So I borrowed Stampin Up markers from a friend and made the second card. I liked that I had more options of colors but didn't care for the markers themselves. I'll just stick to the Copics and what colors I have. 

I'm entering the 2nd card above in at One Stitch at a Time for #40 Any Season or Holiday
I thought I already posted this card but can't seem to locate it on my blog. So if it's a repeat I apologize. I did look. I have no idea where the image came from. I have a bad habit of not documenting the artist when saving the image. I used a brick wall technique which was given as a challenge at My sketch World. Pretty cool effect. I got Pick of the Day with this card.

This card was made using a sketch at My sketch World. It was a very loose interpretation of the sketch.
This card was made from scraps and left overs of a layout. I love that background stamp from Stampin Up. (Canvas-I think it's discontinued) That bottom flower is by Creative Memories and the word Gratitude is a sticker from my stash. I'm trying to use my stuff up. I wish I didn't need to sleep.
Well that's all for now. Tomorrow I will have a Christmas card or for you. I made a bunch for cards for Cards for Kids the last few days. Not sure if I have mentioned this before but I have received a bunch of donations from other scrappers such as leftover paper, die cuts, stickers, flowers, and even brads to use on cards for Cards for Kids. Well the past few days I have been putting them to good use. I think they kids will really like some of these cards. (I know I do)
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Best Wishes Fall Card with leaves and acorns

Hi there. Check out the details below this pretty fall card
And if you're able to leave (haha pun intended) a comment good or bad, they help me grow as a crafter.


Here I have another digital stamp from Shannon's Sentiments. I colored this one using ink pads and a water pen. I like the soft look that this technique gives. The Aqua pens I use are from Stampin Up. They work great.
Supplies: patterned paper by K and Company; cardstock by Coredinations and The Paper Co; card base by Halcraft; brads by Close to my Heart; stamp by Stampin Up; Digi stamp by Shannon's Sentiments; ink by Close to me Heart, Stampin Up and Ranger. 

Thanks again for stopping by to take a look.
