Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends. It's time for the final Dare To Be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs.  It's #257 (Give Thanks. Thanksgiving).  I decided to do like I have done all month and used the image from the following Friday's "Flashback Friday".  Starting tomorrow (11/28) and going until the following Thursday (12/4) you can pick up this image at a discount price.  The image is also to help celebrate the release of  "Hunger Games Mockingjay part 1"
Effie Trinket 2
BTW, today is the last day to get the Effie Trinket 1 image at a discount price (and it will be retired and unavailable) .

Here's my project.

Fall Pocahontas

Happy Thursday! It the first Thursday of November. The weather has changed here in Pennsylvania.  It now feels like fall. Being that it's Thursday, it's time for a new Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge (#254) at Sassy Studio Designs.  This week's challenge is a sketch challenge.

Here is my take on the sketch.

Image-Pocahontas Honey digital by Sassy Studio Designs
(this image will be part of tomorrow's Flashback Friday at SSD and available at a discount price)
Colored with Copics
Skin-E00, E11
Eyes-B23
Lips-R30, R32
Hair-E35, E25, E27
Dress-E31, E33
Necklace-YR07, Y26
DP-DCWV Modern Meadow stack
Cardstock-Recollections Spice Market pack 
Hot off the press Leather paper
Darice Animal Print Tape orange 
Darice Fall Accents silk leaves
Embossing folder-Darice Feathers on the side folder

I popped up the image on homemade tan foam squares.  I added a smaller image and more DP and embossed leather paper on the inside.

It was fun working with a sketch this week.  Do you ever get held up making a project because you can't figure out a layout?  I do sometimes.  I hope you join in the DTBST challenge this week and also pick up the Pocahontas Honey image tomorrow for the Flashback Friday.

Lets Make Like Wreaths

It's the beginning of November, but Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring this week's challenge at C.R.A.F.T. challenges.  And the theme is "Christmas".  Have you started making Christmas cards yet?  Do you make multiples of the same card or different cards?
I thought I'd make a side step card for this challenge.

It's only 12 days until Halloween. And only 67 days until Christmas. So get your Christmas supplies out (you have to soon anyway), head over to Sassy Studio Designs (there are a lot of great Christmas images), create something for the challenge at C.R.A.F.T. challenges and get a head start on your Christmas cards.
