Farmer John

No, this post doesn't include goats or that fab Beekman Boys duo, but it does include an ADORABLE little farmer scarecrow!

And for the inside....

I didn't notice until I uploaded the picture to blogger that you can actually see thru the top panel of the card from the inside. That's because I didn't use DeNami card stock...I know, I know, I should be beat with a wet noodle. The thickness and colors of their card stocks are awesome! But in my defence, this started out as just a tester layout. It wasn't meant to be a finished card so I used just regular old card stock from a big box store...however, the layout was working so well for me that I just went with it. When I remake this (using good card stock) I think it would look better if I stamped the turkey, masked him off then stamped the corn over him so it looks like he's standing in front of the corn stalks.

Well, now that I'm done picking this card apart, it's your turn....

Happy Fall Ya'll

I am soooo ready for fall! I'm not a summer girl...just don't like the 100 degree temps mixed with the 90% humidity. This summer has been so bad I threatened to move to Alaska (hehehe)! One benefit of fall...THANKSGIVING! Woo-Hoo! Just thinking about Thanksgiving dinner has my tummy growling...

I just puffy heart these little jack o' lanterns and that ohh so cute turkey!

 I know...no sentiment (I would have stamped it directly onto the lower right hand corner)...it keeps getting pushed back further and further on my wish list...some day...

Shhh, don't tell Tom that he's leaving chickie footie prints....  ;)

So, I "borrowed" the sketch....

You know, imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery, or so they say. (on a side note, who is "they" and where are "they"?) With that in mind, I decided to "borrow", no... imitate, no... give my interpretation (yeah, that sounds good) of Tina's sketch from a few days ago. If you want to take a peek at it as well....just click HERE. Once again, I decided to play with the little Thanksgiving Chickies....they are just too cute!


(Please note that Flash has changed his position - again. He is trying to find his best angle. He is currently under contract negotiations and I am taking note of the "attitude")


Now for a closer look...



Actually, using this sketch was pretty quick and easy. So, when you are in need of a quick card and you don't have any on hand, I am sure Tina won't mind if you imitate her as well :)
