PPA 275

I made this for the Pals Paper Arts color challenge.  Such a nice combination and in perfect time for Thanksgiving.  I thought I was done with my cards but then remembered another recipient!  I'd love to know what you think.  Also, please tell me what you're doing for Thanksgiving.  I am spending it at home with my immediate family.  It will be fun and relaxing!

PPA 255

Love this gorgeous combination for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge 255!  I enjoy making masculine cards.  I know I'm in the minority!

I used By the Tide for this one.  I started with a Hardwood background, cut the Marina Mist with a circle, stamped the seaweed, cut the Early Espresso twice and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Then I stamped the fish in Marina Mist on Whisper White.  I used an Aqua Painter to pick up some color from the Sahara Sand ink pad and did some areas a little darker for shading.  The sentiment is from a new set, Happy Happenings.  I cut it out with the Project Life labels framelits.  It's hard to see but the fish eye is glossy from Crystal Effects.

PPA 222

The number 222 reminds me of the old show, Room 222!  LOL  I know I'm dating myself here, but I was just a kid (wink).  Do any of you remember that show?

Anyway, I loved working with this color combo for the Pals Paper Arts!  I made one card and decided I liked the combo enough to try out my wonderous wreath framelits and stamps.  I started with the Hardwood background stamp.  I also used the Bitty Banner framelits on top of a framelit from the Project Life cards & labels framelit set to give it a different look.  I made this for my mom for Thanksgiving.  I need to get a jump on my cards because I won't be able to craft for a bit after my surgery.  I know I won't get to make Christmas cards and that makes me sad.  I hope to make a few special ones before the 24th because I have some new products to use!!  

Thanks for looking and taking a sec to leave me a comment. Hope you all have a great weekend!
