Come and Get It Challenge is ATG!! Come see my Sherri Baldy Harvest Girl Thanksgiving card!

Oh I do so love this time of year when the leaves are turning beautiful colors, there's a crispness in the air and you are just Thankful for seeing all the Season's Beauty.
Over at Come and Get It we have a Challenge going on and would love to see whatever creation you'd like to share with us!  Di's Digis is our sponsor this week and it's an ATG Challenge-we all love those don't we!
The Image I chose to use is called Img654 Lil Harvest Indian Girl by Sherri Baldy.  I just adore her and love all the intricate details that Sherri's drawn into this image.  From her leather wrapped hair, the beading on her dress and boots, then to the feathers in her hair or the
buckskin she's wearing--It was all so much fun to color. 
I'm still trying to learn more and more about Prismacolor pencils when I've been hooked on Copics forever.  So I find that I tend to use a blend of both.  The pencils for the fine detail and tight spaces and the copics for a more broad application.  The Best of both Worlds in my opinion.  On this card, I used a dark brown heavily creased handmade paper in the background.  Then I used a leafy cream print that really brings out the buckskin color.  I added a touch of raffia wrap and then 2 thick accents in the corner that were actually found in the party aisle--they were Picks that you might insert in a cupcake perhaps.  I'm always looking in unusual places for embellishments-not just in the scrapbook area of a store.  Think outside the box.  On the inside, an acorn design paper, stamped sentiment from KKS and then I glued the tiny leaf(s) on the mat and down the page..like falling leaves!  Hope you like-come on over and join us!!

Always Anything Goes at Craft Your Passion-Masculine Christmas card

 This week at Craft Your Passion, we of course celebrate the Always Anything Goes challenge that we have every week!  This weeks sponsor is Di's Digis who will be giving  $10 gift voucher to the winner!
We were given the chance to use any image of our choosing and I picked one from Lacy Sunshine!  This image is called Harry Boos Christmas Tree.  I've always loved Buffalo Plaid for masculine cards and this outdoorsy theme was right up my alley-the digi was perfect for it.  I used some green branch punchies from a friend for accents, also some laser cut wooden trees and a chipboard sentiment.  A stamped Christmas greeting will make it a perfect card for giving this year!

Di's Digi's is Sponsoring "Always Anything Goes" at Craft Your Passion!

At Craft Your Passion, where the Challenges are Always Anything Goes, We're being sponsored for the next 2 weeks by Di's Digi's!  She is allowing us to use any image from our Crafty Stash so I'm using one called the Big Wheel Bike by Elizabeta Kushner.  I know I'm going to be using this a lot, changing the colors on the bike and accessorizing with so many things!
Wouldn't this make a great anytime card for your husband, son, or friend/family member?
This is the Double Hinge card from The Paper Cut, a site that specializes in providing pre-scored card blanks for intricate designs & Cardstock that is fabulous.  I've been having a blast with the different styles!  Their pre-scored card blanks are from great weight cardstock in fabulous colors, the base of this one is Basis Lt. Brown.  I've tried turning it like this before and love the effect. I double matted the image, with a chocolate felt cs and a green from my stash. That's a black and tan baker's twine wrap and the mat is only attached halfway.  The button helps weigh it down. When lifted, it shows the neat vintage Watch paper.  I attached some manly sitckers, a die cut label with a sentiment stamped.  I just love the old time feel of this card and hope you will go to Craft Your Passion to check out all their great projects!  The winner that is chosen receive a $10 Voucher at her store, Di's Digi's.
