Something a little different from my usual craft posts. I saw this on another blog I read and thought it would be fun to play along. Check out the post here.

1. Comedy or Drama?

Drama

2. Fiction or Non-Fiction?

Fiction

3. Movies in Theater or At Home?

Mostly At Home since I like to pause it for breaks, but certain movies are meant to be seen on the big screen. We recently watched The Greatest Showman at home. It was amazing, however I think it would have been spectacular to see on the big screen.

4. Musical or Play?

Musical

Yes, Monopoly is a favorite!

8. Favorite Outside Game to play?

Miniature Golf since it’s too hard to bowl with arthritis in my hands.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We just finished a great meal at my parents and before my Mom and I plan out tomorrow’s shopping, I wanted to share the card I made for my nephew.

  
I colored this cute turkey from Winnie & Walter with copics and used the sketch from Mojo Monday for the card layout. 

The paper is from Doodlebug’s Fall Friends paper pad. Lots of fun patterns in this one. I have made several cards with it this season.

Here is the sketch~

Hope everyone is having a great day!

I’ve been enjoying a staycation this week and while I thought I’d be creating daily, I decided to reorganize some stuff and clean up my room. Now that project is just about done, so I sat down this morning and colored these images from Some Odd Girl.

After they were colored, I cut them out with my Scan N Cut and then paper pieced the liners on the two cupcakes. I used Hello Spring papers from Doodlebug Design and an old card sketch from Verve Stamps.

To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment from the Baker Mae set and added lots of sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

I’m going to link my card up with Some Odd Girl’s Monthly Linky Party.

Thanks for stopping by!
