I'm back with another Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Card! Included with the challenge this week, we had to use some kind of 'sewing' technique on the card....it could be 'faux' stitching, machine stitching, or free-hand sewing. For my main image, I chose a digtal image from 'Mo's Digital Pencil'...it was just so cute, I had to have it. I love his little collection of acorns...looks as if he has been quite busy gathering food supplies for the upcoming Holiday meals...or perhaps he is out sharing his wealth with other little squirrels less fortunate than he is....but whatever his intentions, he is a cutie and I had a fun time coloring the image.
For my 'stitching', I simply did a free hand stitch on the edge of the red panel using some gold embroidery thread.
I hope all of you have a wonderful week, celebrating the Thanksgiving Holiday with family and friends. The Lord has blessed my family abundantly this last year and I have so much for which to be thankful.
Here is my 'short list' of blessings:
1. good health
2. wonderful doctors
3. a loving church and church ministry
4. my 3 children who are all grown and married and have blessed my life with 8 beautiful grandchildren...with more to come
5. my Dad, who is still living and in good health at the age of 77
6. good friends...including those of you who take the time to read this blog and post encouraging feedback
7. the honor of working with Sweet N' Sassy Stamps and Korin....allowing me to share my 'art' with all of you...and for the inspirational talent each of you share with all of us
8. the privilege of being an 'American'...the freedom it allows me to live my life as I choose ...and for those who have willingly served and/or given their lives in an effort to keep us a free nation
9. a loving husband who keeps me 'grounded' and encourages me in all that I do
10. Knowing that I can put all of my faith and trust in my Heavenly Father who loves me more than I could ever deserve.
Don't forget to check out the Sugar Baby Blogs for more awesome inspiration with this newest sketch challenge.
Have a wonderful week of Thanksgiving and may all of you be blessed abundantly!
Spend time with family and friends and then,
Make time to create but remember to have fun and enjoy the experience!

Barb--this little guy is so well colored. I think he would just blend into the woods. I can just visualize him shivering in the harsh cold winds...great job.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your

This is such a stunning card! I love the squirrel's fur and how realistic it is! Your cards have always been great but your talent is unbelievable! I LOVE this card!!!
I'm so sorry I've been absent.... life got so hectic and although I'm still not done or caught up, atleast I don't have to worry about a time deadline (well, I do but you know what I mean).
