Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Thinking of You

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I had a really nice day in spite of the fact that it was 97 degrees (we broke records for the heat) at my house and I was cooking all day.  I don't have air conditioning so it was quite hot in the kitchen.  Everything came out just fine but I sure was tired by the end of the day!

My sister and I did some local shopping on Friday -- no Black Friday mall shopping for us.  We just can't deal with the crowds.  I do a lot of online shopping instead.

Ok, on to this week's Die Cuttin' Divas challenge, which is "Thinking of You".  I made this little tissue/cough drops/soup holder.  A friend of mine showed me the video online and I just had to make one (you can find the video on www.dawnsstampingthoughts.net, then search her videos for "Get Better Quick Kit"). On the front there are tissues and Halls cough drops.  On the back is Lipton Cup a Soup. Isn't it so cute?!  And it was easy to make too.  Sadly, one of my co-workers came to work yesterday not feeling well so I think I'll be bringing this to her today.

Paper: Stampin' Up and scraps

Cup: Stampin' Up

Tag dies: My Creative Time

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Thanks or Turkey

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I hope you all had a good weekend.  I started a little Christmas shopping with my sister.  While we were shopping, I saw a couple of things that were perfect for some of my friends and family.  I decided that this year when I see something I know someone will love, I'm going to buy it then and there.  I usually wait and think about things then when I go back to get them the store doesn't have that item anymore.  This has happened too many times so I'm trying not to make the same mistake this year.

On to our Die Cuttin' Divas challenge this week, which is Thanks or Turkey.  I decided to do a card that showcased both!  I have to tell you, this is not one of my favorite cards.  I'm not sure why I don't like it but maybe it's just too dark.

 Paper: DCWV

Turkey: Celebrate with Flourish Cricut Cartridge

Give Thanks: Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut Cartridge

Frame: Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday.  Wow, how is it November already?? I can't believe it.  I just got back from a two day crop at a hotel near my house.  So much fun and lots of laughs.  I made cards the whole weekend and it was nice to sit and relax.

This week's Die Cuttin' Divas challenge is our monthly sketch challenge based on this sketch:
