Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families...wherever you are and whatever you're doing! I hope you have a wonderful day! We are on our way over to my brother-in-law's house to hang out with the fam and eat too much turkey and watch some football!
Yesterday morning we drove up to the snow to try to take some pictures! It was 19 degrees!!! EEEK. Needless to say we did not get out of the car! We don't have snow tires or chains so we went as far as we could and then turned around. The snow is about 40 minutes up the hill from our house. I have never seen such a Winter display - magical is the word that came to mind. I did get a few pix and managed to make a new Winter bloggy banner!
Before posting today's card, I just wanted to take a moment to say "THANKS" for all the sweet and kind comments about my blog post from Tuesday. I am overwhelmed by the kindness of people, and my faith is uplifted knowing there are so many nice people out there willing to say something complimentary to a stranger. Really wonderful. Crafty girls are the best! And, I am reminded why I started blogging in the first place. Thank you! I read every comment and appreciate each one. Thank you. Thank you.
Today's card is my entry into Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #134. I love Taylor's Blog! (Just a little hint, she is having a sale tomorrow!) I have been wanting to ink up this cute little Penny Black image and the sketch seemed perfect to feature it!
Here is my card:
Here is the sketch image - notice I flipped it on it's side!
The clear snowflake is part of the Imaginisce collection featured on Tuesday - I had some left over! The background papers are hot pink and lime green! I added some tiny blue snowflakes around the main image. That's a little stamp from Stampin' Up. Just added a little bit pop of glitter in two spots. The sentiment is from Denami stamps.
See what I have to put up with? Apparently the five blankets we have in the house just for him are not sufficient enough for sleeping on!? When I told him to get up, he just rolled over. What a character! How is a girl supposed to stamp?
Gobble Gobble! Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow! Love your new snowy blog banner, Wanda! What a great photo you got. I was just thinking myself that I need to change mine out. ;)
What an adorable card you've made. I really like how you turned that sketch to suit your design. Love the bold fun colors you used, too. the small touches of sparkle on the image are fantastic, and as always, I love your coloring job. Wish you could teach me!
