Merry and Bright



Hello and a very Happy Thanksgiving to those of you living in America! May your time today with family and friends be blessed and may your bellies be filled with wonderful comfort food. :)

It's round two of Deconstructed Sketch #128 and there's still lots of time to create something fun and inspired!

I used another stamp from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps that comes from the Moonlight Whisper line. Her name is Merry and she's cooking up a bird for the holidays! The papers are from Echo Park Reflections and Merry is colored up with Copics.

I hope you'll play along with us at the Deconstructed Sketch!! Be sure and pop along the list below and see who's created something for round two.

See you back here next week for the first Deconstructed sketch of December!

Give Thanks



Hello and a good Monday morning to you!

I'm back with today's challenge #227 over at The Pink Elephant and this week the challenge is to be inspired by a BE THANKFUL theme. All you have to do is create a card or project inspired by this theme and submit your link on the TPE BLOG.

Here's my card that I was inspired to make from the Crafter's of Faith group I was in (and now am an honorary member). The beautiful cornucopia stamp and sentiment are from Our Daily Bread. I heat embossed the stamped image and carefully colored the inside using Copic markers. I say carefully, just to share that since Copic markers are alcohol based, they will smear an embossed outline. And that's one of my only tips--now my knowledge is your knowledge. :)

Thank you so much for popping by! Be sure to check out the inspiration from all of Ella's Girls over at TPE! Hope you'll join us!

And happy 15th of the month! It's time for another duel between the Dueling Darling Divas and Dazzlers!

This month Tami is our hostess for the Divas and she challenged us to use the above tag and create a masculine card. We were also under the instruction to let the tag stand alone and add our own corresponding image and sentiment. Tami sent these super fab papers and gave us a variety of colored tags to match with our manly card.
When I saw the tag, I couldn't help but think of the outdoors, so I went with a fisherman's theme and will tuck this card away from my step-Dad, who looooooves to fish.

We were also encouraged to share a story about a man in our lives and I will share about an instance that happened with my step-Dad last week. My sister and I are both married and have our little families and life gets busy, so we make a point to make time for each other and usually get together once a week. Last week we decided to save some moolah and just meet at our parents' house. Well, our SD, got wind that we were coming over and when we got there he had prepared a feast for us! He was so excited to cook for his girls and we were very touched.

Be sure to check out what all of the Divas and Dazzlers have for you today and THANKS for popping by!

Veteran in the Family


Hi Friends!
I hope your Thursday is off to a great start!

I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #126!

For my card I wanted to pay homage to Veteran's Day on Monday. This card is for my boss to give to her daughter, but I also can't help but think of my little brother and other close family members who have served in the Armed Forces--and with that I say, "Thanks to my Veteran(s)!"

I hope you'll play along with us at the Deconstructed Sketch!
