Happy Thanksgiving....

Good Morning,

Today is Thanksgiving Day. I want to wish all of you the most Blessed day. I have such heartfelt thanks and gratitude to each and every person I've met since I began blogging. You have all touched my life in such positive ways, I'm sending big hugs to you all today. Enjoy your family, friends, and good food.

I've had a bad virus on my computer since this weekend, so I've only been doing the bare necessities on it. I want to apologize for not stopping by your blogs. I do think it is finally removed, after having at least three different techs working on it. So, I'll be trying to catch up this evening and tomorrow. The ladies at my church are having a weekend crop in the fellowship hall, can't wait for that!

Today is altered item day at Practical Scrappers. I chose a store bought tag from last year. I removed the top image, added a bling candy cane, some ink, used deco scissors to cut an edge, stamped the To and From on it, and used a pen to add my stitches. I've got several of these to do as I begin my shopping. Let's see your projects for stitching!

Blessings,

Thankful Traditions...

Good Frosty Morning,
I have lots to share this morning... Today is the last day for the online crop at Practical Scrappers. I do hope that you've been visiting and playing. Kerri has lots of fun challenges and games going on. I'm currently fighting for a bottle of Strawberry Stickles, lol. Anyways, her second challenge is feast or football. Although I am a HUGE football fan, I chose to do one about the feast. I used the fabby sketch over at the Design Dollies this week for my inspiration.

While I was using the sketch, I thought, why not go for the color challenge as well. This was a challenge. I had both colors in Bazzill, but a pattern paper was had to find (believe it or not-in my huge stash)

And this is the finished layout. The element challenge at the Dollies was to use flowers, lots of them, I used eleven. In the end I was really happy with the results. I have one flower that is photographing darker. It blends very nicely irl. I do hope you get a chance to play with the Dollies this week and don't forget you still have ALL DAY to play in the online crop at Practical Scrappers!
