Freshly Made Sketches 165

Will wonders never cease!  My plans for today changed which means I have more time to play in the craft studio.  Do I need to tell you just how happy that makes me?  No?  I didn't think so.  :-)

It's a beautiful day here and the sun shining through my window makes me so thankful that my craft studio is such a bright, cheerful place.  The desk is right under the window with the craft table to the left of it and, well, you get the idea.  It's the perfect place to put me in a happy mood!

For today, I've used the great sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and I'm thinking ahead to the next big day we will celebrate, Valentine's Day.  The cut out heart makes a nice frame for the sentiment from the Banner Blessings Stamp Set.

Stamp Sets:  Banner Blessings, Gorgeous Grunge, Kinda Eclectic; Inks:  Pistachio Pudding, Rose Red, So Saffron; Card Stock:  Baby Girl Patterned Paper (DCWV), Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Elegant Butterfly Punch, Hearts Collection Framelits Dies, Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals

Colour Me...! Creative Challenge 48 and Freshly Made Sketches 164

The Reed family had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I was so pleased to have my three sons all together this year.  Family fun, food, and football... it doesn't get any better than that!  My son, Matthew, and his wife, Michelle, hosted this year.  He makes a delicious champagne turkey.  There is never much left when we get done with it.  I'm still "stuffed" from yesterday!

Today I was back in the craft studio pairing up challenges for my card.  This one uses the colors from the Colour Me...! Creative Challenge and the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  Along with the new Banner Blessings Stamp Set, they all made for a rather pretty card.  I think it will be perfect to send to Matthew and Michelle for bringing us all together for Thanksgiving.
