I'm a swingin'

Do you remember that silly song "I'm a swingin" by John Anderson ?  Anyhow, I don't care what age you are, most people like to swing...haha

Now my card.  Isn't he just the cutest thing!  He's the Scarecrow Swingin by Dearie Dolls.  What a talented and generous, lovely lady.

Cut him out using my Cameo 3, blended the Memory Box Tree Frame with a regular rectangle.  I added two hills from Lawn Fawn.  What's cool...I added a tiny brad so he can REALLY SWING.

A2, pop-ups for dimension..he can really swing with the added tiny brad

Gobble Gobble at Doodle Pantry

I'm revisiting the darling, little Quirky Turkey from Doodle Pantry.  I'm sending this to my grand daughter. It was quick and easy, especially using the great pre-colored image.

The card is also headed to several challenges: Cut It Up  "Let's Talk Turkey" #58 and Die Cuttin Divas.."Thanksgiving". And... PDE Linky Party - Indians, pilgrims, scarecrows and turkeys

Join in our Doodle Pantry November Challenge #52 for a chance at a GC and you will receive the set, Gingerbread House Ants, free for using a Doodle Pantry image (not just sentiment) in the challenge.

Thanksgiving Wishes

I'm headed back to the mountains for some more apples and sweet potatoes....just the trip is a lot of fun...seeing the beautiful trees with their Fall colors is breath taking!

It's November release day at Doodle Pantry.  I chose the Pumpkin Cut File set along with several images from Doodle Pantry sets...Pumpkin Peeps, Let Us Be Thankful, Pumpkin Monkey and Pilgrim Sheep.  I used scraps, except for kraft base, to bring this sweet card frame together.

Our November Challenge #54 will start at noon.  Great chance for a GC and receive free Gingerbread House Ants set for using a Doodle Pantry image (not sentiment) on your challenge card.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving

One of my favorite Fall/Thanksgiving images from Bugaboo Stamps is AKV Fall Wheelbarrow Kids.  It's a CAS card, but to jazz it up, I made it an easel card. Some ribbon, Spellbinder scallop die, acrylic button, copics and I'm happy with the look.  All my inspiration came from Deloris at Stampin at the Lake. (Going "out on a limb" here with the theme for Catch the Bug..the birdie has tail feathers...haha)

Will fit in an A2 envelop

Photos of easel cards is hard for me...haha

Challenges:

Sentimental Sunday: dimension and sentiment
Catch the Bug:  Things with tails

Happy Thanksgiving

Isn't this the most fun cutting file for Thanksgiving!  This was a free cutting file from Barking Dogs blog.  I added (my version) of a sunflower to the top along with some leaves from Impression Obsession.   I also added some olive green paper to the inside for added interest.  I adjusted the file just a tad so I can mail in a legal size envelop.

Here are some pics at different angles:

Fits into a legal size envelop

added olive green paper insert

distressed edges of flower and used liquid pearls for center

Let's Talk Turkey

Let's Talk Turkey - Saturday Challenge

at Catch the Bug

I did a card almost exactly like this a few weeks back.  I sold the card and missed it so much, I had to make another one, but this time I used the darling Fancy SB Girl - Thanksgiving from Bugaboo Stamps.  As a matter of fact, by the time this post today, I hope the recipients have received it. I love this DP from DCWV - Harvest Gathering.  It's hard to see, but it's textured and the trees are gold foiled.  My turkey is coming from Bucky's BBQ....yum yum! Used an old stamp and SU markers, hoofed a few breaths on it, and got the pretty leave on envelope.

Grab a turkey leg and head to Catch The Bug for more interpretations of Let's Talk Turkey.

5x5 size, copics, stitching, punch, ribbon, string, button

Pumpkin Cupcake Welded Card

       Paper Cupcakes Challenge is to use die cuts and Cupcake Inspiration had a cupcake inspirational picture.  Wow...I'm right at home with that request.  I took the lovely pumpkin cupcake image I bought from Paper Cupcakes into SCAL and welded it to a A2 size card.  I made a die-cut from the image, but I can't share that with you since it is not mine.  The svg is mine, but the original image is not....sorry! I used my copic markers, a MS punch, an embellishment, and did some sewing.

Other challenges:
