It's Time for the Letter "S"

      We're getting close to the end of the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place and I'm still trying to get caught up.  What with the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow here in the US, I won't get any crafting done that day and possibly not on Friday, either, so I'm really trying to do double duty with two pre-scheduled posts each day over the weekend.

     Today I've used merged images from Beccy's again and the focus is on the letter "S": Shepherd, Sheep, Shading, Shaped card, Scallops, and Stitching.  I used ProMarkers to color, and the image was cut with a scalloped and stitched die from Memory Box.  The shaped card itself was cut with a QuicKutz die.  

     The background dp is from K & Co.  I used silver, satin ribbon from my Stash that has Sparkle along the edges.  The deep green bow was hand-tied using very, very narrow ribbon (also a scrap from the stash.)

Party Barn

     This is for the last day of the 10th Birthday Celebration at Catch the Bug challenge where the overall theme has been "Down on the Farm."  Each day there has been a different challenge with a different theme and today Bugaboo Stamps gave away a freebie which can be used with today's photo theme (see below.)  You have until the 20th to get all your daily entries done and posted.  Here's a link to the FREEBIE.
   
     I used it, plus a barn from a set by Jan's Digi Stamps.  The party got so huge they had to move it outside the barn!

Here's the inspiration photo and I based my card on the sketch at Cheerful Sketches.

     

I also used ALL the colors from the Tic Tac Toe board at

  Color My Heart Color Dare,

although I muted the Sangria on the barn doors.
