Traditions

Hi everyone! Two weeks until Thanksgiving. Thanksgivings is a very big deal in my family. My brother Cliff and his wife Sandi always host. They are very generous and tell everyone that is invited if they know any "orphans" (those folk with no place to go for the holiday) to bring them. Thus we always have around 30 people.

I go over to help cook for as many days before the big day as my work schedule allows. This year I have the week off. I will be over on Monday to cook for the week.

 One tradition we have is that I always make pizza and Caesar salad and we have it with champagne on Wednesday night.

Another tradition is the signature cocktail. The Maple Leaf bourbon cocktail last year was a huge hit.

Today is a new challenge at Inky Paws. We are challenging you with a fun sketch.

My card uses a variety of pattern papers and goes against my "more white space" nature. It was fubn to pick out and coordinate the papers. My card uses one cute and whimsical image from the "Autumn mice " set from Newton's Nook.

Sugar plums

Dance little mouse, dance.

Hi. I am back with another card for the color challenge going on over at Inky Paws. Once again, my card is missing one of the colors- green. Crazy how that happened , since it is the most beautiful color in the world.

You have one more week to play along. To create my scene today, I used Newton's Nook's Nutcracker Squeak, Forest Scene Builder set, and Sweater Weather.

Sweater weather

Hey everyone.  What are your thoughts on teal, green, pink, and white? Those are the colors for the challenge over at  Inky Paws. this week.

It's funny I just now realize as I write this blog that I took the challenge as teal green not as teal and green. It must be because when I made my cards I was quite sick with a cold. I suppose my mind wasn't functioning well. Please feel free to use green and teal, they are awesome together.

For my card today I used one of my top five stamp sets from Newton's Nook- "sweater weather".

Thanksgiving bounty

 

Happy November everyone! It is the start of the trifecta holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving. It is also the start of another challenge at The Rainbow Card Connection. The theme this month is "magically metallic". So get your metal on and create a card using metallic colors.

I chose a Thanksgiving theme for this months card. I dug out my perfect pearls from Ranger to create my metallic fall leaves and foliage. I used the Gina K "Autumn Wreath Builder "set and Reverse Confetti's 'Give thanks" (no longer available :().

I was a bit perplexed about what my music inspiration would be for this month. Magical metallics is a tough one to find a song for. I am going for a song about some very special metals, that will start putting you in the holiday spirit. It is from one of my most favorite holiday shows. Let me know if you recognize it.

Be sure to head over to The Rainbow Card Challenge , see what the other DT members came up with and join the fun. You have all month to play in our "magically metallic" challenge.
