Come and Get It Challenge is ATG!! Come see my Sherri Baldy Harvest Girl Thanksgiving card!

Oh I do so love this time of year when the leaves are turning beautiful colors, there's a crispness in the air and you are just Thankful for seeing all the Season's Beauty.
Over at Come and Get It we have a Challenge going on and would love to see whatever creation you'd like to share with us!  Di's Digis is our sponsor this week and it's an ATG Challenge-we all love those don't we!
The Image I chose to use is called Img654 Lil Harvest Indian Girl by Sherri Baldy.  I just adore her and love all the intricate details that Sherri's drawn into this image.  From her leather wrapped hair, the beading on her dress and boots, then to the feathers in her hair or the
buckskin she's wearing--It was all so much fun to color. 
I'm still trying to learn more and more about Prismacolor pencils when I've been hooked on Copics forever.  So I find that I tend to use a blend of both.  The pencils for the fine detail and tight spaces and the copics for a more broad application.  The Best of both Worlds in my opinion.  On this card, I used a dark brown heavily creased handmade paper in the background.  Then I used a leafy cream print that really brings out the buckskin color.  I added a touch of raffia wrap and then 2 thick accents in the corner that were actually found in the party aisle--they were Picks that you might insert in a cupcake perhaps.  I'm always looking in unusual places for embellishments-not just in the scrapbook area of a store.  Think outside the box.  On the inside, an acorn design paper, stamped sentiment from KKS and then I glued the tiny leaf(s) on the mat and down the page..like falling leaves!  Hope you like-come on over and join us!!

A reminder to Come over to All Dressed Up and Play with us!!

When I chose the "3 Little Autumn Girls " to use I wanted to try and use as many of them as I could.  For this 6x6 card, I folded the front face of the card back and that was the staging for the girl with the blue cap.  The girl with the highlights in her hair is actually laying flat on the inside right panel.   I lined up the "burlap" mats and added Fall Flower Soft with glue to the ground under their feet.
When you pull open the left panel, you can see that there is more burlap paper filling the whole inside of the card.  I used a large fishtail die cut from a friend and then stamped it with a great KKS stamp with a yummy chocolate Colorbox ink.
This is basically a reminder to come over and check out the challenge that's still going over on our blog.
There are so many talented artists on the DT-come on over and meet us--this is a great challenge!  I love this time of year when the air is getting crisper and cooler.  Happy Fall Y'all!

Reminder to come on over and play with us at Color It Create It Show It Off!


I created another card for Color It Create It Show It Off  as a REMINDER of the great Challenge we currently have going on!  Doesn't this cutie sitting on a Strawberry Jam jar make you hungry for that sweet treat?  Yummy!  She's Img671 from Sherri Baldy's shop.  Trying to keep everything rosy and pinkish-red I used 2 different design papers and then some Petal Lu flowers.
I just love this KKS Sweetness stamp I used for the inside sentiment!
Come on over and play with us at CICISIO and hopefully you will win some images for your efforts!  We'd love to see your creations!

Help us Celebrate National Grandparent's Day over at Come and Get It!

 It's Grandparents Day around the world, so it's a perfect time to let them know just how much they're loved.  Here at Come and Get It Challenges, we are fortunate to be Sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls for this Special Day.
Because of my Mom's love of "critters", we've always loved Owls.  So when offered a choice of images, I was thrilled to use this one "Owl Always Love You".  I colored her up with Copics and used this reversible paper from Echo Park and Bella Blvd.  Using a small oval die cut from a friend, I stamped the most appropriate sentiment from KKS!  On the inside I used scraps to give it some interest and used one of my rubber stamps for a special person.
We'd love to see your creations in our challenge-we get SO inspired by your creations!  Great chance to win images also!

Recipe cards make us Hungry over at Color It Create It Show It Off with Sherri Baldy's Images!

 The Theme this week over at Color It Create It Show It Off is a recipe card.  Instead of a scrapbook Recipe Challenge where you pick 1 item from each column of a table to make your card with, it's an actual recipe card!
Mine is a favorite recipe of my Mom's-Olive Cheese Snacks.  I'm telling you I could make myself **sick** on these, they are so good!  Since one of my favorite color combo's is purple and green, I found some design paper that reminded me of the shape of an olive, used a kraft die cut and some green pearl accents.  I used img 051 from Sherri Baldy's shop-just perfect little chef  for my card.  On the inside, I used the gorgeous purple polka-dot and a friendship stamp--this could even be given as a gift along with the finished yummy snack!  Well share one of your delicious treats with us and play along with our challenge!  It doesn't take too much for us to create a snack while we are creating cards!
