S2GSC31 - Count Your Blessings!


It's time once again for the Shirley's 2 Girls Twisted Thursday sketch challenge. I hope you're all ready for some fun, fun, fun!!

Here's the sketch for this week, and the twist is to include something soft in your design - Fun Flock, felt, Flower Soft, velvet, anything you can think of that fits the bill will work!

The image that I got to work with this week is a brand new image called "Pilgrims (SG 309)." I colored the image with my Copics, and for a change, I'm pretty happy with the end result. I had a blast with this layout. I wanted the focus to be on the image, so I used subtle elements. The bow is a substitute for the circle in the sketch, and you can see that I used Flower Soft as my twist element. Don't you just love "creative interpretation?" LOL

I know you want to play along with us this week - you know you do, too. Well, all you have to do is create a card using this week's sketch (don't forget the twist!), and then click on the blinkie below - that'll take you right to Mr. Linky (as well as all the rules and regulations of playing along) where you need to upload a link to your project. Oh, and if you want some amazing and instant-gratification digi images - check out the Digi Images section in the Shirley's 2 Girls store. Cute stuff, I tell ya!!

I've made some fun little Thanksgiving "table scape" items that I'd love to share with you, but there are a lot of pictures. So, I think I'll do this a little bit at a time. If you'll come back on Monday, I'll start with a tutorial for making Thanksgiving-themed wine glass charms.

Also, I'll be participating in the Stamping Bella Chichiboulie Blog Hop this Saturday, October 31st, so please be sure and come by to see some really cute projects!!
