Winter Bird Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

Here we are on the eve of Thanksgiving.  So much to be grateful for… especially you, our friends in the Crafting World!  You guys are awesome! Thank you for all your lovely comments and support – we couldn’t do it without you!

This card features a Winter Bird serenely perched on a birch tree.  I just love the effects of watercolor – so soft and lovely.  I don’t live where it snows, so a wintery scene allows me to pretend!

Do Small Things Shaker Card

Hello again,

Now that Fall is in full swing, it gave inspiration for this new card.  I have been totally obsessed with the Tim Holtz alcohol inks and their vibrant colors.  You never know quite what you are going to get – it is a fun adventure.  This one just reminded me of the colorful explosion of color Fall brings.

Golden Leaves by Heather Telford

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends,
Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada (today) or in the U.S. (in November), it is a wonderful day to spend with family and friends.  And for all those that you can’t be with on that momentous day, it is a great time to send a special card to let them know you are thinking of them.

The card we are presenting today is done by the extremely talented, Heather Telford of Bits and Pieces blog (www.cards.heathertelford.com).  Heather is renowned for exquisite watercolor projects and this Thanksgiving card is no exception.  She has created a vision of beauty using the Penny Black Grateful Stamp Set and Peerless Watercolors.  She has even created a video on how she created her watercolor paletted and used her Peerless Watercolors.  It is simply brilliant.  Be sure you don’t miss it.  It is featured after her card below.

Eerie Trick or Treat Card

Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat.  Isn’t that the way the children’s Trick or Treat rhyme goes?  I don’t know about the ‘smell my feet’ part but I love a Halloween card filled with bats and haunted houses and other ghoulish things.
