Bella Blvd. Monday Morning Challenge

It's a gorgeous Monday morning here in North Carolina! The sun is shining bright and the leaves are stunningly beautiful! All this makes me feel pretty cheerful!

Another thing that floats my boat are crafty challenges like the Monday Morning challenge over on the Bella Blvd. blog today. We were asked to create projects with big sentiments or titles and here's what I came up with.

I wish I had a stuffed version of this turkey...I love his great big and colorful patterned feathers! I used the whimsical Thankful Alpha+Bits font for this card...big and bold!

For my second card I used Bella Blvd's Sienna chip and High Five alphabets for the sentiment.

When using larger alphas on smaller projects, like cards, you can either stick to shorter words or break up the word with different size fonts as I did with this Thankful card. There's my favorite turkey again! He's part of Bella Blvd's Thankful collection.

Speaking of turkeys...I have a number of them to put on display before the Christmas decor floods the house! I can't believe it's already the fourth!

Hope you have a lovely fall day! :)

Cards on Thursday & Giveaway Winner

Happy Thursday!

Just one week away from Thanksgiving! I suppose I ought to get serious about preparations for our feast. Um....yea! ;) Although, I usually stick to the tried and true favorite recipes year after year so it shouldn't be too difficult to finalize. How about you? Are you ready? Will you be spending Thanksgiving away from home?

Well, Today is Cards on Thursday at Bella Blvd. Oh happy day! I love seeing what my teammates have created! I've mentioned that before, haven't I? ;) Well, they are the best! We are all using Unity/Bella Blvd. stamps for our cards today and with the big day just a week away, I opted for a 'Thankful' card.

I also thought I'd mix it up a bit and toss in a Designer Tape card. I used these lovely tapes for my stamped sentiments. I used Staz-On ink so it wouldn't smudge.

Looking at this card makes me crave cupcakes! :) Oh, I just had a thought.....I could bake my favorite Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Frosting from Ina Garten on Thanksgiving! Oh they are soooooooo goooooood!

Just look at that little piece of heaven!!! ;)

Okay, before I run, I have a winner to announce for the August issue of CARDS magazine. Thank you to all who visited yesterday and left comments! The winner is..........Leanne Allinson. Congratulations Leanne!

Hope you all have a great day! The weekend is just around the corner! ;)
