Holiday post

 When I saw this stamp I just had to get it, aren't they cute together, the dog reminded me of our late little Peanut, miss him so. I colored this dog like him and gave the cat some coloring like our cat we have now Opie :)  I added a touch of glitter glue for the snow on the Post box and ground.

Awesome

 This is my last card using the Autumn papers and some goodies from 49 and market.  I first cut some water color paper with wildflower dies, then using distress inks I water colored them. Then I found this cute little banner that I added some of the enamel dots too and found a great sentiment in the pack to use, wishing them a very Awesome day.

• 49 and Market - Vintage Artistry in the Leaves 12x12 paper, Ephemera bits and Bubbles and Trinkets
• Tim Holtz - Wildflowers #1 dies, water colored with Distress inks - Peeled Paint, Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber

Happy Thanksgiving

 I have decided to make a new tradition on Thanksgiving, when I said my prayers this morning it was nothing but all the things I am thankful for, I asked nothing of him just all that I am thankful for. Normally I tell him a few things I am thankful for each morning and then go on to pray for all those that need healing, our world situations, ect. I know I didn't even hit all the things I am thankful for but thankfully he knows my heart.  

I am thankful for the friends I have made through my blog too, and I hope today you have so many things that you are thankful for that you are overwhelmed by them.

The card I am sharing today I sent to my sister, she texted me to tell me she liked a card I made with this window die a few months ago so I used the same set to make her Thanksgiving card, instead of the flowers she got pumpkins in the window.  She can take off the Thanksgiving sign if she wants to display it during the Autumn season.

• Poppystamps - Small Madison window and Picket fence dies
• Studio G - Pumpkin stamps, colored w/markers
• Tim Holtz - Bricked embossing folder, sponged ink over embossing and Crochet die
• Impression Obsession - Sentiments II stamp
• Jute

I meant to post this card yesterday but time got away from me.

All these images came from a wall calendar, I just fussy cut them and matted them with squares cut from dies.

• Images cut from wall Calendar
• PPD - Mini stitched squares for matting
• Ms. Sparkle & co. - thankful paper
• Fiskars - sentiment stamp

Autumn Bird

 Ok I just had to use one more of the feathered friends die, I love these birds this time I am using the smaller of the two. I cut the wreath from Pattern paper and then just colored the stem part of the leaves with brown marker.

Leaves w/flowers

 I found the leaf fragment die at Hobby Lobby and you know I had to pick it up, these are so cool.  I made up some backgrounds to cut them from using my distress inks, I can not for the life of me find the paper I wrote those colors down on.  I embossed my background cardstock with a leaf embossing folder and wanted to grunge that up a bit too, just to match my die cut leaves a bit and then I added the leaves, using foam adhesive on some of them and then thought it needed a little more so added some tiny flowers too! Finished with some sponge inking around the card too.

• Tim Holtz - Leaf fragments dies and Funky Floral #3 dies
• Sizzix - Leaf embossing folder w/inking on some leaves
• Tim Holtz - Small talk sticker sentiment

One more time I am sharing with the Four Seasons Challenge blog Fall
