Happy Thanksgiving!

I have to apologize to all my Canadian friends, followers and readers out there. Unfortunately, at the time of our Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct. 14), my hubby and I were frantically trying to get ready to go and visit our family in London, ON, and I just didn't have the opportunity to get a paper done at that time.

So Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians. I'm still trying to catch up from the five days we were away but managed to squeak out a paper just in time for the American Thanksgiving (today).

Check out the preview...

This digital paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. I've used resources from: Blessedgrafik (TheHungryJPEG), Melo Vrijhof (Pixel Scrapper) and The Coffee Shop Blog. Full credits in the file. To grab it, click the download button to be taken to a download location. In the zip folder you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the full credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

Whether you live in a country that celebrates Thanksgiving or not, there is lots in each of our lives to be thankful for!

If you do happen to live in the States, enjoy the time with your families and of course your feast. Like I ask every year, I'd love for someone to have a great big slice of apple pie and let me know how good it was. For everyone else around the world, happy Thursday!

Well that is it for this one! See you again soon!

Until next time,

Freebie: A Day to Remember

Hello friends. Once again, November 11th has rolled around. A day that should always be remembered.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918, the battlefields drew quiet as the hostilities ceased. Thus bringing an end to World War I, 101 years ago today.

Each of us living in Commonwealth countries around the world, should take a moment today to remember and honour those who have bravely fought in ALL wars to help keep the peace and keep us safe.

Each year I try to honour this day in my own small way with something special. Here is a digital paper I created for anyone interested.

This digital paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. I've used resources from Pexels (Pixabay), Shadowhouse Creations and The Coffee Shop Blog. Full credits in the file. To grab it, click the download button to be taken to a download location. In the zip folder you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the full credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

 MAY WE NEVER FORGET!

Card Design: Pattie's Creations Challenge #164…Anything Goes

Hello there folks! I'm popping in today to announce the next challenge over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. This time around for Challenge #165, the theme is Anything Goes. It is the perfect time to come and join us because it doesn't matter what theme your card follows, as long as you abide by all the general rules of the challenge, you can join us!


General Project Info:

• This card has been created 100% digitally and then layered in a Mock Up (courtesy of Frisk Shop). I will print it out and assemble it a later date. 

FRONT

Digital Image Details:

• Pearl The Penguin: You can find this image in Pattie's Etsy shop by clicking on the image name. This image has been coloured digitally and digitally 'paper' pieced in one section as well. Credits include:
• Earmuff muffs are paper pieced with a fur texture from My Free Textures

Digital Embellishments:

• The doily shape was created from a brush. This brush was designed by Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.
• The igloo and snowballs used to create the scene around Pearl are from the Winter Playground Kit created by Nathalie MacKay, owner of Kitten Scraps. The snowy look in behind the scene was created using one of the papers from this same kit and the large snowflake embellishment is also from the same kit. 

INSIDE

OVERALL
Digital Paper Products:

• The paper used as a background and the solid paper used as an accent, on the front and inside, are also from the Winter Playground Kit by Kitten Scraps.

 Digital Sentiment Details: 

• The sentiments used on both the front and inside were created by Paulette from Create with TLC. For great freebies and inspiration be sure to click HERE to go to Paulette's blog and for awesome sets for purchase, click HERE to go to the home page of the store. 

Digital Embellishment Details:

• I have used basic shapes in Photoshop Elements to create matting in behind the image (front) and sentiment (inside).
