SSS28 With Thanksgiving

Well, it's time for another Sweet Stop Sketch Design and this week Korin has given us another fantastic sketch. When I first saw the sketch, I thought it should be fairly simple....well, low and behold, I had so much trouble putting a card together this week. I tried several different images but nothing was coming together. I think I know what my problem was though...I REALLY wanted to use this pumpkin paper and the coordinating stripe paper for the design. Have you ever had such a strong desire to use a particular craft product that it ended up being the 'ruler' over your entire creation....that is what happened with me! I had a difficult time finding an image that would work with the papers and the main image panel...most everything I had in my stamp inventory was either too big or would not work with a rectangular theme. So, I went into my digital image inventory finding several cute images but again, most of them would not work...so, I went back to my Sweet N' Sassy 'Harvest Fruits' digital image. And here is another reason I enjoy using digi stamps....you can make them fit most any size you would need...sometimes you can use the 'stretch and skew' tool in paint and it will help to make your image fit also....anyway today all I had to do was make the Harvest Fruit image smaller, print and color and I was finally 'good to go'!
