Geese in Flight

I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving!  I don't know about you, but I could use a rest.  I think we will be eating left overs for a week!   I just got this stamp a week ago and couldn't wait to color it up!  I love the natural setting and the motion of the geese in flight. 

I wanted to make a masculine card for my dad who always finds time to look at the birds!  He doesn't always know their names, but he always tries to describe them to me - either their unusual color, shape, or silly antics at the bird feeder.  I know he will love these geese - they are very common here in the Midwest and always a sight to see!

 

Are you addicted to washi too?  I just had to add a little stripe of color here and some red washi was jus the thing!  I hope you have a great day!

Case Study #118 - Celebrate The Season

Happy Thanksgiving!!!  I hope you have a beautiful day planned surrounded by friends and family!  Maybe you are surfing the web while you're waiting for company - or dinner to come out of the oven?  Well, are you ready for your weekly dose of CASE inspiration?  The muse for this month is Angeline Yong of The Creation of Creativity blog. She has such a clean style and her designs are always stunning! If you are a C&S style gal you just have to play along this month!  Check out the inspiration photo this week! 

Case always inspires me to try something new and work outside my comfort zone and Angeline is challenging me again this week!  One layer, C&S is definitely not me but I knew I wanted to give this a try.  Where Angeline's card is a delight of fall colors and leaves, mine is all decked out for the holidays like a sprinkle of  Christmas confetti!  I really enjoyed stamping this pattern and dipping into so many pretty ink colors!

Serendipity Stamps Challenge - One Layer Card

All our fall celebrating seems like it is coming to a climax as we reach Thanksgiving.  We jump into Christmas so fast - there are Christmas decorations at the stores, and Christmas music on the radio.   I hope you take this week slow and enjoy being with friends and family.  Take some time to count your blessings and remember all that you are thankful for!  

Thanks for joining me today for the Serendipity Stamps Challenge.   Mary, the owner of Serendipity, was a real trixie this time and challenged the Design Team to come up with a one layer card - just ink and paper - no frills!  A few of us were going to start a protest, but decided to be good sports and give it a go.  I am so glad I did because I am so happy with how this card turned out!

This one was easy - and thankfully it doesn't look naked to me or it would be back to the drawing board!  I think it's all the color that I find so satisfying!  I centered the sentiment on the card and simply stamped the Japanese maple image in three different colors of ink.

I hope you will check out the creations the rest of the design team came up with.  I am sure it will be nothing short of amazing!  Simply click on their names below to jump to their blogs.
