Here it is Tuesday again and time for another fun challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. I love all the wonderful things about the Fall season. The beautiful colors, the crisp air and seeing all the animals scurrying about getting ready for the winter. When I saw this Mo Manning Fall image I fell in love with it immediately. I don't have a cat but our neighbor behind us has quite a few and they squeeze under our fence to lay in the sun and and chase the chipmunks hiding in the leaves. We sit and watch them all the time. So when the challenge was "Be Thankful" this week I immediately made a card thinking how thankful we are to be able to just sit and enjoy these small creatures enjoying the season just like us at our house.
I tried my hand at making the cat's fur look scruffy. I used my blender pen to soften it after I marked it up. What do you think of it? I think I like the way it looks.
The DT all put their own spin on Thankful and their creations are gorgeous so be sure to stop by and be inspired by their creativity.
I hope you stop by and play along with us this week. I can't wait to see what you have created!
Here are some other wonderful challenges that fit my card

Copic Creations Challenge #37-This week their challenge is colorless blender tricks. I used my colorless blender to do the cat's fur. I couldn't live without my blender pen!
Digital Tuesday Challenge #82-The challenge this week is to use a nontraditional craft item. The leaf pins I used I bought in the sewing dept. they are just common pins but I thought pretty enough to use on a card you just have to be careful not to get pricked by the sharp ends on them.

I decided to create a card for the fight against breast cancer. I have made this card for a friend that thank goodness is winning her battle against this awful cancer. I wish all it took was a wish and a wave of the hand and this awful cancer would be wiped out. At least she knows that my friendship and support is there whenever she needs it.
