Give Thanks to a Veteran today!

First things first, PLEASE REMEMBER TO THANK A VETERAN TODAY! 

They gave their all so that we could have our 'all'.

I am continuing on my journey of making Christmas cards.  Seems like every time I make some, they disappear into someone else's stash at work!  LOL   At this rate I am going to have to buy the ones that I send out!

Today I worked with a couple of new releases from Heather at Fresh Brewed Designs. 

This first image is called 'Holiday Candles'.  It is a very classic image for Christmas.  I think it makes a very elegant card.

Image:  Holiday Candles from Fresh Brewed Designs

Coloring:  Copic Markers

DP:  DCWV photo stack

Ribbon:  SU (new ribbon in the just released holiday book)

Flourish:  My Favorite Things die cut with glitter paper

My second card was using the FBD image 'Wonky Tree' as a background element.

Think Pink, again!

This is my second post today.  It is also my second post for the "Link up for Pink".  Hopefully I will have several of these posts over the next few days.

This is the same image as the previous post and is a freebie prize donated to the "Link up for Pink" challenge by Beccy's Place.

Once again, colored with copics and using some more of the breast ca tickets (please let me know if you know who the artist is!)  The back ground paper here is a digi from JustYolie! Scroll down through her blog to find the free download.

The ribbon is from my stash, liquid pearls in the corners and glossy accents on the eyes, nose and heart.  The flower is prima with a brad from my stash.

Think Pink

Today is lots of things.......The first day of October (it's pouring here, guess fall has officially arrived).

It is World Card Making Day (the first Saturday of October).  It is also, and most importantly, the first day of National Breast Cancer Awareness month!  I don't think that I know anyone that hasn't been touched by someone, or knows someone that has had breast cancer.  With early detection, breast cancer can be treated and hopefully defeated!  With money and scientists, it must be annihilated!

JustYolie has set up the First Annual Link up for Pink.

 

She has many, many sponsors offering thousands, yes thousands, of dollars in prizes for those who

enter their 'Pink' projects to her blog.

One of the sponsors is Beccy's Place.  Beccy's prize is for everyone.  Just go by her blog and

get with wonderful digi and sentiments that she has made specifically for the 'Link up for Pink'!

I have made several cards for this challenge but my first couple cards are made using Beccy's

wonderful gift.

The image and the hearts are from Beccy.  The tickets are part of a set (sorry I don't know the author)

All coloring is with copic markers.  The papers, flower and ribbon are from my stash.  I used glossy accents on the eyes, nose and heart of the image.  The border punch is a fiskar punch.

Remember to "squish em"!
