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!

Just a quickie post! I used Tiddly Winks' "Fairy Fae Catches a Star" image today. I used a combination of Prisma browns and pinks to color this cute girl. Then I added Diamond Glaze and some gold glitter to her wings. I found some matching Prisma flowers and the ribbon and lace are leftover scraps from another project. The paper is Basic Grey. I embossed my cardstock for a base.
Thanks for taking a peek!

For tonight's card I decided to try out a technique called Eboss Resist. I noticed that several bloggers were talking about it this week and wanted to check it out. Gina K has a wonderful tutorial over at StampTV. Her tutorials are very detailed and they all follow the same basic outline so you always know what to expect.
So for my card I used the clear butterfly stamp set from Martha Stewart. Then I embossed it and colored it with Distress Inks, Broken China, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo. I really wanted this card to be clean and simple and let the sentiment and butterfly picture do all the talking. I added some ribbon from my scrap bucket. Then I stamped the sentiment, found at
Our Daily Bread on the Get Well set, onto the tag.
Thank you so much for looking. Hopefully I'll see ya tomorrow!
Hugs - Jen
