SND Theme: Thanksgiving

Well, the weekend is coming...that is all I have to say.

Another challenge is up at Stamp-n-Doodle. It is a theme challenge. The theme is Thanksgiving or Fall. Youdo not have to use a Stamp-n-Doodle image but if you do, you get two entries in the challenge. Come and play with us. We would love to have you try the challenge:)


Here is my card using the Fall image. Not too happy about the glue rings.

I am also using Get Sketchy's current challenge sketch. Just found this blog a few days ago.
Have a good weekend and thanks for looking:)

p.s. We might have some snow flurries late tonight. I am actually wishing for a surprised snow storm so the kids don't have to go to school and I can sleep in;)

Father's Day Layout and Thanksgiving Review

Here we are at my Sister's for Thanksgiving. Adela is by herself on the photo on the left. Michaela and Lindsey are on the right with Jacqueline, their cousin, in the middle. We also went to Jason's family's house on Friday for Thanksgiving. Which was nice because we were not running all over the place and stuffing ourselves silly. Also, two days in a row we had free dinners. I never turn down a free meal.

Here are the kids for Thanksgiving Friday. We enjoyed both days. Michaela did not want to leave Grandma's house. She was having such a good time.

Here is the last picture of layouts I took on a gloomy day. From now on, it will always be natural light. This was Father's Day. My husband's family had come over and helped us celebrate. Two of the photos were mounted on brown paper. One had a cutout around it. I had a desk calendar, that had a scrapbooking theme. Once you are done with the day, you can use the design in your page. Which is where the brown and yellow diamond cutout was from. Since I really had no pictures of Lindsey and Daddy together on that day, I used another photo from another day. I cut the two of them out and had it hanging from a photo. I had stamped the title with versamark ink, them chalk the area with brown chalk. I also used a floral stamp and did the same. I got all three items from Stampin Up!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I do hope everyone has a great time. What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving? Well this year we are going over to my sister's for the feast.

This afternoon , the kids and I made papertowel roll turkeys. I got the idea from Sandy over at Just For Fun. Thanks Sandy, the kids had fun decorating their turkeys. That will be our centerpiece at the Thanksgiving Breakfast table. Jason, my husband, and I since we got married have made a big breakfast for Thanksgiving morning. The kids love it and look forward to the holiday. I will make a batch of pancakes, biscuits and Jason will grill regular bacon on the George Forman Grill. I will also make myself a fried egg and a slice of Canadian bacon with cheese on my biscuit. I call it a Canadian Sunrise. What traditions do you enjoy every year?

Again, Happy Thanksgiving!
