Happy Thanksgiving

Where have I been? Tis the Season to be busy. I haven't even started my Christmas cards yet, much less taken Taylor's annual Christmas picture! Ugh! I am finding it hard to play in my craft room! Here are a few of the Thanksgiving cards that I sent out this year. They were totally inspired by someone else, since my brain is dead with all the running around I am doing. I believe Michelle Zindorf inspired the first two cards and Pine inspired the group of cards I sent out to family members. I will post some of the Christmas cards I made in a day or two! So much to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving!

Frosty Day Paper and Thanksgiving Cards

As much as I love the fall and all it's colors, Thanksgiving cards are probably the hardest for me to put together. Maybe it is because there isn't ever any real awesome Thanksgiving stamps? I started one and it was way too detailed to make 8 of, which is how many different families there are in my family, so I settled for something a bit easier. The Frosty Day paper was perfect for something "not so" traditional. That paper set reminds me of some real great colorful scarves. I used two retired sets to make this card.. SHHHH! I know! The words came from last years "Dotted Autumn" set and the pine cone came from...ahhh...give me a couple of hours to get back to the craft room to list it. It's too early and I need my coffee first. LOL! Anyway, I water colored the pine cone in with Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip. Wow! I better go get my coffee! Be back in a couple of hours. :)

Punch Me a Turkey!!!

Okay, so I saw this cute little turkey in a Stampin' Up! magazine that I get every month. For the feathers, they used the scallop punch and folded it to make it look 3 dimensional. My sample didn't turn out so cute. Glue was caked everywhere! I was about to give up when I thought I might try the 5-petal flower punch and voila! It worked!! I am sure you all can figure out what punches I used to make this fella, so I won't list them... Gobble, gobble!!
