This week, Pat gave us a challenge to match the date!!! It is 11/11/11, and we were to make a Thanksgiving themed card with 11 punches. I used about 3 or 4 times the required 11!!!! I lost count after 30!!! LOL If you want more fun than a barrel of monkeys, this should be the challenge you want to try!!
I started with a base of V Vanilla, and put it through the Big Shot to dry emboss the front with the Sizzix Diamonds and Damask EF. Then I ATTEMPTED Kittie747's tutorial HERE to make my Fall colored wreath. Hers is MUCH better, but I gave it a shot! Below I layered "Give Thanks" and added some bling to that and a little to the wreath!
If you would like to join us this week, just add TSC1111 to your keywords, so we can see your card! Thanks for playing!

Susie Q, this is wonderful. Love all those more than 30 punched leaves. It was well worth the time to punch all those leaves because you certainly crafted a beautiful wreath.
