Thanksgiving Thanks!

Over at the Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog, the theme this week is Thanksgiving. As I don't have a turkey image from Doodle Dragon (it's on its way!) I went for a harvest-y feel. For me Thanksgiving is all about being thankful for the people in your life and the blessings around you. So here is a little creation I made to use as a Thanksgiving Thank You card. I used a Dustin Pike image and colored him with pencils. I distressed all the edges (even the mat circle!) and used Vintage Photo Ink to ink them all (including the white inner circle). I used the same ink to stamp the thank you sentiment. Topped this cutie off with some neutral flowers and a twine bow!

Thank You Turkey Card!

I hope you all had a great weekend! I created this cute little turkey card today. I used some nice vintage papers and my cricut with the Create A Critter cart. I inked the edges of everything in Vintage Photo Ink and created the little Thank You sentiment on the computer.

You Turkey!

This first cute turkey card was inspired by the Bitten By The Bug2 "Flourish" Challenge. I used the flourish from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge, the Turkey from Create A Critter and the sentiment from Tear Drop. I distressed the edges of the background paper and inked all the pieces with Vintage Photo Distressing Ink. The Flourish was cut at 4 inches and the turkey was cut at 2 inches. I'm submitting this "Thanks so Much" 5x5 card for the Fantabulous Cricut "Bird Bonanza" Challenge.

I was smitten with this little Turkey I decided to make a shaped card of him too! He was cut at 5 inches. Isn't he so cute??

Quilled Flower Card!

Hi all! I did something I have never done before. I ventured into the world of "Quilling". According to dictionary.com "to quill is to arrange [paper] in cylindrical ridges". It was interesting to say the least and I don't know how people create gorgeous pictures entirely by quilling. Amazing to me! I chose to make a flower for the Quixotic Challenge Blog. The challenge this week was to "Let Your Garden Grow" by making your own flowers. I thought this would be the best opportunity to try something new! I stitched around the light blue background using the sewing machine and added the "Thanks A Bunch" alpha beads by hand sewing them to the beige paper and then popped the paper up from the blue background.

A Few Things To Share...

Good Evening everyone! I just wanted to share a few of the projects I finished yesterday.

The first project was a Cricut Cartridge Exploration for me as I've never used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More before. I received around Easter and haven't really gotten to "play" with it yet. I made this little box that would be great as gift card holder. I used some YUMMY Little Yellow Bicycle Spring paper and pale pink satin ribbon.
Second, I have a cute Thank You card with a PollyCraft Digi Stamp. I colored the image with pencils and added Glossy Accents to a few places (shoes, heart and part of her hat). I decided to do a black card base so the yellow would pop up off the page without actually popping (nope, no pop dots used!) I topped it off with white twine, both a yellow and black button and some rhinestones!

This next project is a Thank You card I am creating for a client. It is a simple Thank You card using whimsy Butterfly lilac paper and violet satin ribbon.

One last thing...REMINDER I have BLOG CANDY up for grabs until Friday!!

Butterfly Thank You Card!

A very nice friend of mine did something, well, VERY nice for me this week SO I decided she deserved a card! I used paper, ribbon and embellies from my stash. I used this awesome butterfly stamp using Tim Holtz's Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added Ranger Perfect Pearls in Perfect Pearl to give the butterfly a metallic-y finish. The "explore text" is also a stamp. I only used the Vintage Photo Ink on this whole card.
