Challenge #77

Nov 22  –  DEC 5

I used Ike's Cornucopia image.

I decided there were to many colors used in this project so I haven't listed them.

This was so much fun to color.  Many of the items were shapes that you could choose what you wanted to make them.  Examples:  the "egg plant" could be that or a butternut squash.  The "nuts" could be loose grapes.  The shades on the autumnal leaves.  The background paper used on the "kraft" colored card is from an autumn set by Tim Holtz (I only use on special occasions).  The ribbon is from "The Paper Shelter". and the 3 gold rhinestones just finished off the card.  The wording is stamped with metallic gold ink.

I hope you like the way my project turned out.

Be sure to leave me some love and let me know you liked my project.

Military Rememberance

While it breaks my heart to miss this challenge I will have to be on

(SICK LEAVE)

I would like to comment on my love and gratitude to all members of the American and our Allie military because of health issues I will be unable to complete this "fortnight" challenge.

You are brave, just and courageous in my families eyes and we thank you so much for giving your service.

I have a father that was in WWII Navy and a stepfather in WWII Air Force, a husband and brother-in-law (husband's twin) that served in the Army and brother in the Air Force all in VietNam and friends and other loved ones in the Marines and various wars.  Each of you deserve all the wholehearted gratitude for giving part or all of your life to preserve the freedom given our countries.
