This weeks assignment was to use either the Turkey Shaped Card or the Happy Thanksgiving Word Shaped Card. 

I absolutely LOVED the Turkey Shaped Card.

The Turkey cut file comes with 2 layers of Turkey feathers.  I wanted a 3rd layer so I duplicated a layer and re-sized it.

This weeks assignment was to use either the House Shaped Card set or the 3D House Set.  

I really like the House Shaped Card and I thought it would be really cool to stamp inside or out "From our House to Yours".  You could use it for Birthday, Thinking of You, Miss You or any Holiday!

Since I live in Minnesota, you can't have a winter card without a little snow, so I used liquid applique to the fence, roof and chimney.

I also made a fall themed house with little hedges and a bow.

This weeks assignment was to use one of the new Halloween or Fall Shaker Card sets.  I LOVE Halloween, so I had to use the Ghost Shaker Card Set.

I used Halloween patterned paper and printed the sentiment from the file set.

Let's make a Treat Challenge!!

For this weeks Design inspiration I used the PUMPKIN TRIO SHAPED CARD FILE from Cutting Café. 

The Sentament comes from this sets printable.

For the pumpkin stems I used clear embossing paste mixed with distress inks to give them that knotty texture that pumpkin stems have.

Copic Storage

I needed a new way to store my Copics.  I was storing them in the Copic wire racks, but I outgrew that.

Then I came across this post on the La La Land Crafts Blog and knew that was what I needed.  I ordered 2 of the Copic Sketch Holder Kit.  I love the look of wood so I also used the faux wood idea.

Here is my finished rack.

Some of the in progress photos.

Thanks for taking a look. :)

For this weeks Design inspiration I used the Coffee Cup Holder Set from Cutting Cafe.

You could shred some paper or tissue inside the box or leave as I did.
