"Corny" for Thanksgiving

      OMGoodness, where did the last 2 weeks go?  It's already time for another challenge over at FarmQuest where we always want to see farm/country elements on your cards but, in addition, we have a theme you must follow and this time the theme is "Corn."  That can be anything having to do with corn - ears, husks, stalks, corn fields, Indian Corn, dried corn.  Let your imagination go and show us something fun.

     I picked an image from my collection of QKR Stampede, colored it in my favorite fall color combo (yellows and browns) with Sanjoki markers, and cut it with an old Spellbinders die.  The corn stalks background behind the image was self made using clip art to create the dp.  The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.  The card front is covered with burlap paper from a DCWV stack of woven papers.  Great texture and one more 'country'-looking element.

     I'm going to use this as a Thanksgiving card this year.

Harvest Moon

     It's Labor Day here in the USA, and out on the West Coast we're suffering under the hottest days we've had in an unusually hot summer but somewhere, the fall harvest is about to start and the air is cooler .  That means the full moon this month, the Harvest Moon, will be shining down on fields of pumpkins and corn stalks and the autumn holidays will be upon us without warning!

     Today, you're getting another 2 for 1 - we're starting a new challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps and also at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  The theme for each of those challenges is "Anything Goes" and Jan's is the sponsor at PIP this week so it made sense for me to use the same card as my DT creation for both teams. 

     Don't forget, at Jan's, we have two winners every month; one using a JDS image and the other using any image on their projects.  My card today features JDS images from the "Autumn Corn Sheaves" set which I merged before coloring them.

     I want to see you playing along at Jan's Digi Stamps this month.  The challenge runs until Sunday, October 3.  Don't forget, if you use a JDS image, you really increase your chances of winning more beautiful sets because all the JDS image projects go into a completely separate draw.

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
