12 Tags of 2014 - November

November is coming to a close, and Autumn is in it's full glory here. Almost all the leaves on my trees are turned and starting to blow away.  How I love the colors! 
Here is my take on Tim's November tag for 12 Tags of 2014. I followed his to the tee only adding a couple more leaves and changing up a few embellies.
Happy Thanksgiving to all those that celebrate! I wish you the most blessed time with friends and family, and I am so THANKFUL to all of you for the comments, the encouragement, the support, and the inspiration! Blessings!!!
 

OH....Before I forget, Wax on Wednesday 4 will be next week, due to the holiday and travel and family and cooking and cleaning and stuffing my face! Until next week!

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

Gobble gobble!!! It's almost Thanksgiving time, so I decided to make a card for my In-Laws since we won't be with them for the holiday. The technique is a little hard to see so I took lots of photos so hopefully you can.
I wanted a turkey die, but there's not one, SOOOO I made my own...sort of. I die cut Tim's Sizzix Mini Feather Quill and the Mini Mirror. It you flip the mirror upside down, I see a turkey body! DON'T YOU?!!! He he he!!! Ok, so it's sort of cheesy, but I love it! Never be afraid of using your dies for totally different things than what they are originally for. They cost you money, so use them up!!!
So then I did the technique on the make shift turkey! I also used an old Maya Road transparency to use as part of his body.
Gobble gobble gobble!!! I gave him a face!
I stamped on a background for my card, and then used the technique again.
Inking and words finished up this very simple card.
 
 
Thanks for all the comments and support, and thanks for joining the CC3Challenges!!!
