The Challenge this week is to make a Thanksgiving

card using any cartridges you'd like but only use

the colors Blue, Brown, Orange, Yellow, and White!

WOW! What a Challenge! I'm sure all you wonderfully

creative people out there can do this! I actually had

a real hard time with this one... WHY??? I don't know

for sure except that I think it is because I am now in

"Christmas Card" Mode and thinking of a Thanksgiving

card now has taken my mojo for that holiday away....

I know... Sad... Yeah Right! LOL Anyway here is

the card that I came up with! :o)

(Click on the Photo to Enlarge)

Well this is my card... It's the best I could come up with....

Card Stock, Ink, Stamp, Designer Paper - Stampin' Up

Cartridge - Thanksgiving Cut @ 1 5/8" using my Design Studio

I cut the leaf out twice for a little pop

and inked around the leaf and the

flourish as well.... I hope you all like it....

I was really disappointed in this one... :o(

But tomorrow I will be back with a Christmas Card...

And most likely that is what you will see from

me for the next few weeks.... :o)

So head on over to http://www.cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/

and try this Challenge out for yourself...

I'll stop by your blog and say hi!

Have an AWESOME DAY!

Holiday Stocking....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Well... I'm still sick and my nose

hurts from blowing it soooo much....

I have Puffs Plus but when you're

constantly blowing your nose I don't

think it matters what type of tissue you use... :o)

I still think it's a head cold since nothing

really aches or anything... Just real stuffy

and runny! LOL AND of course you

can't have any type of cold without

COUGHING!!! I think that's worst than the

runny nose! It gives me a headache! LOL

Anyway... enough of my SAD COLD.... :o)

Here is today's card!

(Click on the Photo to Enlarge)

Now I know you all can't be SHOCKED that

it's another Easel card! RIGHT? LOL

little gems.... I promise I only have 2 more of these

to show you soon! :o) Anyway.... here's the specks!

Yet Another Turkey.....

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

I Can't believe the weekend is over already...

I got sick over the weekend... I Know Sad.... :o(

My kids have all gotten sick this past month and

so has my mother but hubby and I tried very hard

to avoid it as much as possible... to noooo avail....

We are both sick now and I think it's more of a head

cold.... Or at least that's what I'm hoping it is.... I really

didn't do too much over the weekend... but managed to

get things done during the week last week.... So at least

I have something to show you! :o)I'm hoping this BUG

won't last to long cause I just don't like being sick and

it makes me not want to do ANYTHING! So let's hope

this thing that I got goes away real fast or my kids

will be feeding themselves for a few days! LOL
