A Vintage Thanksgiving

Hello!  Today I have a vintage Thanksgiving card to share with you for our new challenge at My Sheri Crafts.  Sandy has challenged us to Create a card featuring a Pilgrim, Indian, Cornucopia, Pumpkin, Turkey, or Pie .

I found this cute vintage picture in my files from CWC..  It made up a super quick and easy card!

I added a little bit of glue on some of the leaves and the hatband, the used a pretty gold embossing powder.

The poem on the image is this:

A Pumpkin I bring you for Thanksgiving Day,

With wishes that plenty may e'er with you stay.

I added a strip of cloth trim  and a scrap of leaf paper and there you go!

Thanks for stopping by and I sure hope you will check out the DT's creations and join us this week!

Thankful Always

Hello!!!  It's time for a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown and our sponsor this week is

   

and our theme is "Thanksgiving"

I've used our sponsor's sentiment image "Thanksgiving Stamp 6".  

The turkey is a Cricut cut available with the Cricut Access subscription.  I've added some gold embossing powder to the sentiment and the turkey.  

Be sure to check out all the beautiful inspiration at Tuesday Throwdown and join us this week!  

This week at My Sheri Crafts Peach challenged us with the theme "Creepy Crawly - Make a Halloween project featuring creepy, crawly and/or flying critters!"  

I've used and image from Bugaboo called "Goth Girl".  

Just for fun, I colored her with my sparkle gel pens, except for her skin.  For that I used a LG2 Spectrum Noir marker.  The spider web and tag are Cricut cuts and I used the pen feature to write the sentiment on the tag and the inside. 

I love that font for a Halloween card!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come on over and join us at My Sheri Crafts!

Be Happy

I've rejoined The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge and this month Gerda Stein is sponsoring with a sweet tiger image.  Here's my card:

I got to use up some scraps for this one and found some super cute cork stickers that I've had in my stash and forgotten about!  I've used tiny buttons for the juggling balls, also from my ages old stash, and colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers.

Western Birthday Card

Hello!  I have a new card to share and I love how it turned out.  I made it for this week's challenge at Tuesday Throwdown, but due to internet trouble I wasn't able to my sponsor image downloaded in time for the challenge post!  I'm telling you, I LOVE our new house, but I HATE our internet service here!  But I'm trying to hang in there because fiber optic is on the horizon.  Just 6 to 8 more months, they tell me.

Anyway, our sponsor is
                                                 
The challenge theme is "Festive Pumpkins".  I obviously didn't follow that theme, but I used a pre-colored image from our sponsor's Western Combos set and 3 of the digital papers that came with it.  I love this set and I believe I'll be using them quite a bit!

The border is a Martha Stewart border punch.  The metal star is cut from a metal garland.  The card it's wound on is blank, so I have no idea who the manufacturer is.

I used 2 stamps from Close to my Heart to finish it out. 

My apologies to Doodle Pantry for not getting a project included in the challenge this week!

Fall Box Decor

Hello again!  It's time for a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts and I have such a fun project to share!  Sandy has challenged us with the theme "First Day of Fall - Make a Fall Card or Project".  

The other day I was at Hobby Lobby and found some super cute "Pumpkin" blocks that said "FALL" on them and I a-l-m-o-s-t bought them, but decided not to.  That very evening when I was catching up on email, I found My Scrap Chick had a cutting file to make the very same boxes with paper and right now it's on sale for $1(I paid $5)!  I was so happy!  I bought it right away and got started cutting!

I cut the file without resizing and it's perfect!  All I added was some inking and some raffia bows.

Basket of Apples Birthday Card

Hello!  I'm glad you're here because it's time for a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  We are sponsored this week by Robyn's Fetish and our theme is "Leaves".
I've used our sponsor's image "Basket of Apples" for my card:

I've colored it with Spectrum Noir markers, cut it out with a Spellbinders die and inked it up with Tim Holtz distress inks. The stamps are from Pink by Design's "Bountiful Blessings" stamp set.  The background paper is from The Paper Studio and the leaf brads are from Recollections.  

The inside "I'm thankful for you" is from the same Pink By Design set and the Happy Birthday is from Close to My Heart.




Well thanks for stopping by and I sure hope to see you over at Tuesday Throwdown!  Have a great, crafty week!
