{Sneak Peek}

With Gratitude

Wow. This card took F O R E V E R  to complete. It doesn't look like much. I'm trying to think what took SO long. I think it was the leaves. I probably stamped a dozen before I got the colors I wanted. The turkey took a while too. It was done with markers. Oh, and the feather. That took a while as well. I guess it all adds up. I won't even admit to how long it took from start to finish. This card has been entered in the SUO Challenges blog for challenge #82 Harvest Time!

Here's the Sketch!

I got this wonderful color combination from Fab Friday's Blog. They also have wonderful challenges. This was from challenge #26.

Here's the color combo!

Thanks...

I am SO thankful for time to work on my projects today! Thankful that my hard working hubby decided to not work 7 days a week this Harvest. Thankful for time with my little girl in our woman cave. Thankful for the beautiful (although HOT) weather. I am thankful for so many things today. It makes me smile.

I am trying to get a head start on my holiday cards. I thought that I'd put something together for Thanksgiving today. I think I like the way it turned out. I put LOTS and LOTS of layers of stamps on this one. I LOVE doing that.
