Create a card or other project that reminds you of being outside,
using only natural colors you'd find in the fall.

Unfortunately, I don't have a card to share with you this week, as I never managed to find any time to spend in my craft room between training at my new job and having a house full of sickies!   Were all feeling better now, and the new job is going well!  I will definitely be getting back to my crafting this week!

SSC #33 - Turkey Time!

This weeks challenge at Stamptacular is to make any card or project that can be given or used at Thanksgiving time.  Aaaaaand... if you put a TURKEY on it, you'll get entered twice to win this fabulous prize!

Sponsor: Simon Says Stamp

The prize is

plus FREE shipping! 

The design team have, of course, created some amazing projects to inspire you!  And remember, if you don't have a turkey stamp, don't worry!  You don't have to use a turkey, you just get an extra entry if you do!

I didn't have a turkey stamp, so I went cruising the internet trying to find a digital stamp that I liked, and I did find quite a few... but then I went to the local Craft Warehouse and found this set by Unity.  I just couldn't pass it up!!  Not only was I looking for an excuse to get my first Unity stamp set,  I needed a turkey, and this set was just too cute!  Not to mention that I thought I could use his wings to make flowers, petals and stuff!  A multi-purpose stamp set is always a good thing, right?  So, here's my Turkey card!  I hope you like it!

 I used the Build-a-Turkey stamp set by Unity, and Coffee ink pad by Brilliance.  I added some ink to the background with a spritzing tool, before sewing the piece to the card.  I layered the wings with popdots to add dimension, and used a bit of Stickles on his beak and waddle for some shine.

SSC #30 - For My Friend

Our challenge at Stamptacular this week is to make a card for a friend.

Our sponsors are Our Very Own, Liza!  Who is offering up a Snowflake Cuttlebug folder, just in time to get you ready for your Holiday cards!  

And my dear friend, Cassandra, of Doodle Street Designs!  Who is offering up a digital image of your choice from her shop!

I have used one of Cassandras awesome images on my card.  I love this little birdie!  This is what I think of when I think of a "Sprytebyrd", as this is the style of byrd I would be!

This card is going in the mail tomorrow, since it was made for my very special, bestest friend.... that's you, Kim!  :)  I hope that she loves this card as much as I do!  It's her job to find the rest of the words that I have hidden in my puzzle!  I found a puzzle making website, and created this wordfind just for her!  It's full of words to describe what a wonderful person she is.  After much arguing with my computer/printer over getting the sizing on the puzzle and the image correct, I was able to piece the card together.  I've also created my own background paper using a wheel stamp and shimmery silver ink.

I hope to see you join us at Stamptacular this week!  I just know you have a wonderful, amazing, sweet, kind, creative friend that you can make a card for, too!
