Today's color challenge for stamptv is: red, green & gold. I sponged gold ink onto the Cuttlebug background & around the nestie, but it's a little hard to see. 
Happy Thanksgiving! Did you count your blessings today? I'm so thankful that my boys run in the house... it means that they are healthy enough to do that. I'm thankful for the socks, shoes & toys that get left on the floor... it means that my kids have those things. I'm thankful that the alarm will be going off at 3:00 am tomorrow... it means that my wonderful hubby has a job to go to. I'm thankful for the medicines that we have readily available to us... both my son & I have had allergy attacks today. I'm thankful for the men & women who are serving our country, defending our freedoms. I'm thankful for the day on the calendar set aside for us to "give thanks" & I hope it is something that we remember to do frequently!
This week's potluck challenge on stamptv was to split our dp. I'm not sure where this dp came from, it was in my scrap box. 
The sketch is loosely based on the sketch from this week's Crazy 4 Challenges sketch. 
Gina K. Designs is having a Customer Blog Hop!!! WOO HOO!!! I chose Nina's Vintage Borders as my set. I stamped the music notes background stamp off onto a piece of scratch paper & stamped it 2nd generation onto my Sweet Corn cardstock. I love the verse from Isaiah in this set. I made the card simple enough that I can mass produce to use for some of my Christmas cards this year.
Another card for my thank you's. I got the cardstock cut out, but didn't get them all made. I don't know if you can see the glitter, but it's there! Hopefully, they will go together really quickly since the cardstock is cut. I am missing the challenges, but want to get these cards finished up. I'll be back to the challenges soon!
I decided to color today's image. I was able to color 15 of these images while I was on the phone with my Mom. I kept the layout simple since I was mass producing them. Another 15 cards completed!! Yay! 
I made another CAS card, no coloring on this card either. I ended up making 15 of this design. At this rate, I hope to be finished with the thank you cards this week. Then I can work on my Christmas cards this weekend. (knock on wood! LOL!) 
I'm trying to finish off a good portion of my Christmas cards this weekend. Almost everything that I have this year, requires coloring. I really do love to color... but, I need 60 thank you cards & to color all of them... well, YIKES!!! I NEED to start in January working on these. Anyway, I decided to make a card tonight without any coloring. I know it doesn't have the same pop of colors, but it certainly went together quickly!!! I will be making 14 or 15 more of these tomorrow. 
This week's Potluck Friday challenge on stamptv was to create a card using only a sentiment as the background. I thought about this all week. It was definitely a challenge for me! 
Stamps: A Year of Flowers, Vintage Borders
I made this card to loosely follow this week's Mercy's Tuesday Sketch It doesn't follow her sketch exactly. I popped up the acorns with dimensionals. 
The Sisters In Christ challenge for this week is to make a card for our troops. Sunday, at our church, they announced that one of the soliders who died at Ft. Hood is from our church. His wife was packing up their household items to move to TX. My heart goes out to them!!! So, make sure you thank a veteran!! 
This is the last card from me until Monday, I promise! 
The Etsy Inspired shop this week is Jared in Kansas. The pictures are gorgeous. This is the one I choose: Pink Rain 
The Our Creative Corner challenge today was an inspiration challenge. Here is my take on the picture. It is a beautiful fall day here. The sun is shining & it's almost 80 degrees! This is my kind of November weather!!! LOL!
When I saw this week's Mojo Monday sketch, I knew I wanted to participate. Here it is Friday & I'm finally getting the card finished. I think I need to sleep less to be able to get in all of the challenges each week!!! LOL!!!
Isn't this sketch fabulous! I really liked it. This is for the sketch challenge on stamptv. 
I made this for one of the Oct. Gina K. release challenges on SCS. The challenge was to pop something up. I hardly ever use dimensionals. I popped up the sentiment.
This week's Etsy Inspired Challenge store is Vivikas Toy Art. I chose this cutie 
I made this for the sketch challenge on SCS for the Gina K. release. I need a few more Thanksgiving cards & the sketch was perfect.
