OCS for November & My Very First Challenge!


Hey all!  Wow, I don't know how you ladies who do card-making or scrapbooking do it!  Where do you find the time?  With 2 little ones, I'm lucky if I can get ANYTHING done.  Okay, I signed up for Teri's OCS (One Card Swap) for November & December.  It'll be a challenge, but I'm willing & up for it!  I also wanted to try a card challenge since I was already making a card for my November partner, Tia.  I entered a challenge at La~La Land Crafts Weekly Challenge #12 ~ Getting Punchy.  So, here's what I made . . .


I stuck to a Thanksgiving theme since it's coming around in the next couple of weeks.  Plus, the La~La Land Crafts Challenge was to create a card using punches and/or diecuts.  Perfect!  Here's what I used . . .

Marvey Scallop Punch, Fiskars Threading Water Border Punch, EZ Success Dotted Scallop Punch, Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Squares Large, Crop-A-Dile, and the Cricut ~ Doodlecharms Cartridge.


I always wanted to do a Waterfall Card.  Just imagine the unfolding, one at a time while pulling the pull mechanism.  First the acorns, then the Fall leaves, and lastly, the TURKEY!


The pull tab reveals a message . . . "Give thanks & count your blessings . . . Happy Thanksgiving!


I left the inside of the card blank for now ~ will be sending a sweet 'ol message to Tia.

{ Tia ~ I'm sorry I posted this before you even receive your card.  I had to submit to the Challenge by Sunday.  My apologies :o) I will be mailing it to you on Monday!  I hope you like it! }

Thanks for enduring and JOURNEYING with me on this long post!  Have a great weekend!
