Pilgrim & Indian Owls… :)

These little guys and gals make me smile.  Would the pages be a little more formal without them?  Of course.  But who needs to be formal all the time?

Supplies Used Above:

Card Stock:  Really Rust (retired), More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Naturals White, Chocolate Chip
Inks: Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip
Punches: Owl Punch, My Way punch, 1" and 3/4" circles, 1/4" square, paper piercer
Accessories/Embellishments: Glimmer brad, vintage tag, hemp twine, dimensionals
Stamp Set: Day of Gratitude, Thankful For

And here they are again, together and more close up.  It's hard to tell but I used my paper snips to fringe the bottom edge of the Indian's dress.  (Dress probably isn't the right word, but you know what I mean!)

This card makes me laugh because it wasn't until I was looking at the picture of my card that it looks to me like my Indian is a little crazy and the Pilgrim knows it and is trying to look away!  LOL

Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze, Autumn Spice DSP, More Mustard, Old Olive

Accessories/Embellishments: owl punch, retired spring bouquet punch, Decorative Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Oval Punch, paper piercing mat & template, paper piercer, ¼” square punch

Four Square Day of Gratitude

Another Fall card using the Day of Gratitude stamp set and the Stampin' Pastels.  Loving this stamp set!  I also used a big designer button from the Deck the Halls assortment in the Holiday Mini and some Pumpkin Pie 1/8" Taffeta ribbon.

Continuation of last month’s club projects…

Sorry I ended my last post earlier than I had wanted to but the baby was crying and needed me and then it was already pretty late so I just went to bed!  Anyway!!!!  Here are the Big Shot projects from October.  This club went by so quickly!  I can’t believe it’s already over.  So sad.  It was fun girls!!

1. a card using the Leaves #2 die
2. a gift card holder using the envelope die but with a twist, so that it fits a gift card (the original die isn’t quite big enough for a gift card)  I’d love to show you how to make this oh-so-simple and quick gift card holder!
3. a Halloween treat box using the Top Note die
4. a Christmas Card using the Movers & Shapers die (remember you can get this for $10 this month! Ask me how!)

FUN!

If you’re interested in learning how to use the Big Shot and make great projects like these and others you’ve seen on my blog, please let me know.  I’d love to teach you and your friends how to use this super simple, super versatile Big Shot machine! 

And this month there’s a great Big Shot package!!  Click on the Gift Giving Guide to see this awesome new bundle!

Autumn Harvest Thanksgiving

(Originally posted November 26, 2008)

So, some of you know I’m away on vacation (yeah!) but I didn’t want my blog to sit idle while I was away!  So, I went searching through my never ending stash of stamped cards and 6 x 6 pages and came up with a few things to share with you while I’m (hopefully) enjoying some sun.  I hope you enjoy these creations…see you in December!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
