Effie gives Thanks

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.

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.
