Christmas Jeep - OSAAT #251

Good morning friends.  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I know I did. We had out of town company with us this year - my older brother and his wife, and my cousin from Florida who comes to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with us every year. It's a tradition even though she now lives in Florida close to her sister.  Even with the little bit of rain we've had, we didn't let that stop us from all our family fun. That was three siblings together this year and we hope that one of these years my younger brother and his wife will be able to be here with us.

Now on to the business at hand.  Our challenge this time for One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes With Winter. So show us those Winter-themed cards.  Here's mine.

Rembrance Sunday

Wow!  Late!  I guess the time change really had an effect on me since I completely forgot to get this posted yesterday. Or maybe it's been the deluge of rain we've also been having. Luckily, it quit in time for the little ones to get out trick or treating. I had a few here this year. Anyway, better get to the business at hand.

The theme this time over at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes with Day of the Dead/Remembrance Sunday. I decided on Remembrance Sunday. I don't keep a lot of sympathy cards on hand and this month marks the first anniversary of my brother-in-law's passing. It was right before Thanksgiving last year.

Witch! OSAAT #248

Good morning my friends!  How's the weather where you are?  I hope it's as nice as it is here in H Town.  I think we're finally getting our Fall weather. Summer has hung around not wanting to leave with temps in the 90's. I don't look forward to the Winter cold though. I've been overwhelmed the last couple of weeks putting together 2 Power Point presentations that I presented yesterday at a Family History Fair. I've never done one like this where I had to do screen shots and then drop them in the Power Point program. I'm just so happy that it's finally over and done with and remind me never to say Yes again! ;)  Well, it went fine and the attendees did learn something so it was all good in the end.

On to the business at hand and that is we have a new challenge from One Stitch at a Time. The Theme is Anything Goes with Halloween Colors!  Such fun. I chose to go to the simpler side of creating this time.

Materials Used:

• Image - Ken Benner - Witchbroom
• Sentiment - Puff Boo from my stash
• Cardstock - Stampin Up - Basic Black
• Designer Paper - Authentique - Enchanted Collection
• Accessories - Stampin Up Ribbon - Tangelo Twist
• Copic Markers: E23, E25, E29; T6, T8, T10; V12, V15, V17; YG0000, YG01, YG21; YR04, YR05, YR16

Again our fabulous sponsor is Stitchy Bear Designs

And the prize should you take part and be chosen as the winner is the October Prize Pack.

I do hope you'll hop on over to the challenge blog and play along with us this fortnight. You could be the winner of this lovely Fall prize pack or be chosen as one of the Perfect 3! 



That's it for today. Hope you all have a wonderful week!
