Thanksgiving card from Ellen

The animal lover in me had to post this. It warms my heart to think about their kind instinct (kind at least in this instance) . Animal instinct has no equal.

Pieces for the new challenge

This time I am supplying the pieces for the challenge due Jan 23. I just went through my stash of scraps and started cutting paper...

I'll call it the "warm colors" challenge...

Because along with the card, I gave Angie a "Palm tree" key chain...
