It's Turkey Time!


Mornin' hens!

TURKEY FUN FACT #5 - Did you know Ben Franklin wanted the turkey as our national bird, rather than the bald eagle?  Makes perfect sense to me, seein' how most of my money gets GOBBLED up by the government anyhow!  LOL!!

Ok, so this is my final Thanksgiving card and it happens to be my FAVORITE too!  I used the Turkey Time set from Whipper Snapper and stamped the pilgrim couple and the turkey onto some Strathmore Bristol paper.  I colored the images with Copics and Faber Castell Polychromo pencils and fussy cut them out.  I mounted them onto the DP with some foam tape and adhered the sentiment below.  To finish, I wrapped some natural twine on the bottom and secured it with a button.  Okee dokee, that's it for me today.  I'm off to make some pumpkin pies and get ready for some SERIOUS eating.  Mmmm-mmmm!  I hope you hens have a WILD TURKEY Wednesday!  {{{hen hugs}}}

  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thankful


Mornin' hens!
TURKEY FUN FACT #3 - Did you know turkeys have great hearing, but no external ears?  They also can see in color, and have a wide field of vision which makes sneaking up on them difficult.  They can run approximately 20mph, and fly 55mph.  Run - Tom - Run!!!

Ok, so I used the same stamp set from Monday and Wednesday for this card too, but I wanted the pilgrim lady to be holding soemthing, so I found this turkey on one of my Whipper Snapper Designs sets and it worked perfectly.  I also wanted to use a new die I purchased from Papertrey Ink recently.  I die cut the word "thankful" from brown cardstock, but stopped short of running the die all the way through the BigShot so the bottom of the word wouldn't cut.  Then I ran the bottom half of the brown cardstock through the Big Shot again using an embossing folder to add some texture.  To finish, I rounded two corners, added a few brads, and tied a bubbly bow with some saddle stitched ribbon.  Okee dokee, that's it for me today.  I hope you hens have a FESTIVE Friday!  {{{hen hugs}}}

Halloween Treat Bags

Mornin' hens!  I wanted to share with you these cute little treat bags I made for my co-workers. I used the "Happy Haunting" set from Whipper Snapper and several $1 stamps from Michaels. 


I even made the bags!!  Woo-hoo!  I was so proud of myself.  Actually this is printed burlap I found at Walmart in the Halloween section.  It's 6" x 10' long.  Not sure what it's for, but I cut 12" pieces and sewed the sides together. Then I took some jute string and threaded it through the holes of the fabric with a large embroidery needle and made my own drawstring top!


I double stamped the images so each is popped up with foam dots for added dimension. 


To add some color to the kraft cardstock and to make those stitch lines pop, 
I sponged some distress ink to the edges of each tag.


On three of the tags, I punched some red and green cardstock with the dripping goo border punch and then die cut it using the same tag die.  I like the look of the blood dripping on top of the vampire.  LOL!


The DH saw this one and said, "Hey, you made one that looks like me!"  Bwah-ha-ha-ha!


OMG, do you not just LOVE Frankie??  Look at those stick legs and big shoes!  Ridiculous!! 


Here's the green cardstock punched with the goo punch too! Love it!


And what's Halloween without a skull right??  Tee-hee!
Wanna know what's inside????


Eeeeeek!  Aren't they the CUTEST??  I decorated these little Germ-x hand sanitizer using my Silhouette Cameo and adhesive black vinyl. Oh, and of course I put CANDY in the bags too!  LOL! 
Okee dokee, that's it for me today!  I hope you hens have a TERRYFYING Tuesday!!
