Hello Stamplings!
I finally feel like I've shaken off the last of the tryptophan coma I've been in. Oh, my, I'm not gonna lie, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! That big ol' bacon-covered turkey just sits there and bakes itself and then feeds us for days. How could you not love that?
And I'm happy to report that I was able to get through the door of the Playhouse (barely) and get back to Christmas card making which has now become an emergency situation, so let's get toit.
Onefer
This simple card was hard to photograph under cloudy skies in between drops of blessed rain. I masked off a triangle and blended icy blue ink and then I stamped a few tiny snowflakes and a sediment from GKW. The NBUS red fox mesmerized by the flakes is from Gerda Steiner, colored with Ziggies.
Challenges
- 52 Card Christmas Card Throwdown: November technique: watercolor.
- Cardz 4 Guyz: Christmas critters.
- Less is More: Pick a triangle.
Twofer (x several)
As you can tell by the blue sky, these cards were made before the rains came, but they are equally simple. The beautiful NBUS Noel die is from Poppystamps. I adhered a glitter paper panel to the card base, added a stitched frame from MFT, and glued on the die cut. QACAS! Hammy finished each one with perfectly-sized clear enamel dots over the holes.
Challenges
- Just Us Girls: Wild Card: Anything goes.
- Poppystamps: Merry Craftmas.
- Sparkles: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Turkey Day Wrap Up
The funnest thing from Thanksgiving to share with you is a photo story.
1. First, here is Miss Nellie in her little bed: (Awwwwwww.)
2. As we were all sitting around munching hors d' ovaries, we noticed that Duke decided Nellie's bed would suit him just fine, too: (Hahahahahaha.)
3. But wait ... later on ...
by golly, he was right, lol! I know Nellie thinks she is a Rottweiler, but I had no idea that great big dogs think they are little wee ones! By the way, he deserves a round of applause for being so limber at his age!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
