Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Morning and a Happy Sunday to ya!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful day  and thanking the Lord for all their many blessings.  In today's economy so many of us are struggling and facing hardships.  It's important to stop and look around you for all the many blessings that we may overlook.  One blessing we are having is that our garden is still producing, belive it or not.  I canned over 10 cases of salsa, tomatoe juice, and tomatoe sauce this summer.  I thought I was done, but our vines are crawling with tomatoes AGAIN!  Our peppers are still going strong even with 35 degree weather last week.  We have made our own pepper mixes and smoked chipotle peppers.  We've been able to share tons of fruit and vegetables with coworkers and friends that needed it.  One small blessing for us meant blessings for others too.  Take a minute and leave me a comment for what your blessed with today!

I have a Karen's Doodles image today "Scarecrow Girl".  I've used her before but she's so fun to color and I wanted to try her out in blues this time.  I continued the pattern on the inside and added a tag that reads "Thanksgiving Wishes".  My papers are from DCWV and the flowers are miscellaneous Prima.  I distressed all the edges with blue to continue the flow.  I know it's not contemporary Thanksgiving colors but I really like it nonetheless.

May each of you be blessed in some small way today!

Wheelbarrow full of pumpkins!

I just realized I have one more post! Woohoo. This image is "Fall Wheelbarrow" by Karen at Karen's Doodles. Those of you that know me know Karen's was my very first digi image. Look at me now! I followed the sketch at The Sweet Stop, but OOPS it was the wrong one for this weeks challenge. That's okay, I love how it turned out anyway. This sentiment is from Squigglefly called "Nature Gives". Now Karen's challenge was to use 7 of something. Since there were only 6 pumpkins in the wheelbarrow I added one to the corner and popped it up. By the way this image in Karen's store as a freebie at the moment!

See ya!

Reading is Fun!

Here's my post for today. My niece's birthday is coming up and she LOVES to read. She also writes her own stories. Quite talented she is! So I'm putting together a collection of bookmarks for her to go along with her gift. This one is a Karen's Doodles image "Puppy with her bone". I colored her with prismas. Everthing else was from my latest kit from My Creative Scrapbook. Thanks for looking. I've entered this into the following challenges:

Get Well Card

I haven't played with my Karen's Doodles images in awhile and they were feelin a bit neglected. This is one of the very first images I ever got and I just love it. I used paper from my DCWV, summer pack. Colored my image "A friend in Need" with my prisma's. I made my tag from left over scraps of paper, including the flowers and ribbon. The button was from a mix of gems pack I got somewhere. Here's the challenges I'm entering it into:

Karen's Doodles - Polka Dots
Stamp Scrap and Doodle - Get well or Good luck card
Friday Sketchers - Sketch

Thanks so much for stoppin by!

My Buddy!

I'm entering this card in Karen's Doodles Challenge and Flutterbye this week. This is such a sweet image and it holds a ton of meaning for me and my besties grandaughter! The image is called "Maggie and Me". The papers are from Basic Grey. I love how they work together so well. I colored this image awhile back. I can see that I've grown some since then. The butterfly is from a set I received from the forum on Swirlydoos. If you're not a member you really should go check it out. It's a great group of girls!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Dancing Rosie

Happy Saturday! This week at Karen's Doodles Challenge USA we had a sketch to follow. I decided to use "Dancing Rosie". Karen's Rosie images are some of my fav's! I just love her spirit. I got a new paper pack from Michael's on clearance by DCWV, callled the At Home Stack. These glittery papers are wonderful. I colored Rosie with my prisma pencils and added some ribbon from American Crafts, specialty ribbon, called Sparkle. I hope you enjoy it!

I apologize for the bad picture quality. I was having problems with my camera.

Hugs - Jen

Love Turtle

Happy Thursday! I have another post for you today. I just love this little turtle. I did the sick Karen's Doodles turtle a few posts back. I like working with the greens from Prisma Pencils they're so vibrant. The ribbon is from Walmart and the paper is from the same paper pack I've been working with on the last 5 or so cards. I don't have a challenge to enter it into because I confused myself (not hard to do) and did the wrong image for the wrong challenge. LOL Oh well, I'm on a Karen's Doodles kick right now and lovin it. Stop by there later today they have 5 new images being posted. Have a great day and I'll be back later!

Peace and Joy

Birthday Wishes 2

Here's my second post for tonight. This card is for the Mojo Monday Challenge, sketch 126 I used the "Fairy Princess" image from Karen's Doodles. I have lots of her images and am slowly working them into cards! The sentiment is from an Inkadinkado collection I got from scrapbuck.com. (not to be confused with scrapbook.com)LOL If you've never shopped there it's a great way to get some items at a huge bargain. Most things are $1.00-$1.50. An amazing shopping site!! Check it out.

I tend to run off in 10 different directions - LOL. Sorry, I remember something cool and just spill it. I posted for Flutterby and Sweet Stop below this post so check that one out too. Have a wonderful evening and I'll be posting in the morning for Squigglefly's challenge!

Peace and Love - Jen

P.S. If anyone can easily explain how to post picture links in my sidebar I'd sooooo very appreciate it! Thanks to Debby I finally figured out links! LOL

A Karen's Doodles Image!

I was still up so I thought I'd post this card I did with my first digi image from Karen's Doodles. I am in love with her work. I've purchased several digi's and will be posting them throughout the next couple weeks. Take the time to go look you won't be disappointed. She is also offering a FREE DIGI on her other site Paper Craft Planet. So this image is called A Friend in Need and Herbert is too big for Bigsby's bed. Karen has a line of Bigsby images as well that are to die for! Hope you enjoyed it. Stop back by for more of Karen's Images and have a great night!
