Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all the wonderful Canadians out there!!!  This weekend my husband and our two fur babies are heading to my parents house for a Yummy Thanksgiving Dinner on Saturday.  Whenever we head to my parents for a Holiday evening I always bring my Mom a bottle of wine and a Thank you card and this is what I will be bringing her this weekend....

Well there is a little story as to WHY I have made my Mom this adorable Red Squirrel card.  A family of Red Squirrels have decided to make a home inside my parents attic.   My Dad has been successful in getting 2 of the 4 babies out and has them safely in a cage trying to get the mommy Squirrel to coax the other two babies and herself out so that he can seal up the hole he has made for their escape.  My Mom has taken a liking to the two little babies that they have "saved" from the attic and I keep telling her that they can not be pets, but we will just have to wait and see what happens LOL.  Hopefully soon the mommy Squirrel will take the hint and move her new family out of their attic and make a safe home for the upcoming cold weather very soon.  So needless to say, that is why I coloured this adorable image to show you a Red Squirrel LOL.

Thanksgiving Card for Mom & Dad

I would like to start off by saying Thank You to all who commented on my first post welcoming me to blogland! It meant a lot to read your kind words and I look forward to forming great blog friendships with you all!

Now on to my first official "Pink Palace Creation".  With the fast approaching Thanksgiving Holiday in Canada this weekend I got into the spirit and made my Mom and Dad a card as they are so graciously cooking a feast for my hubbie and I.  The card I made is the first ever easel card that I have created and I have to say it was a success (well in my eyes at least).

I used the Kraftin Kimmie Stamp-Merry (kraftinkimmiestamps.com) and coloured her with my copics:

Skin: E01, E00 & E00

Hair: E49, E25 & E35

Dress: E43, E42, E41 & E40

Turkey: E17, E15, E13 & a touch of Y26

Oven Mitts and accents on the dress: YR18 & YR15

The card is made from Recollection card stock from Michaels, the accent paper is from Creative Memories, the background square is cut from Basil using the Lacey Squares Nestabilities and the Square Nestabilities.

I printed the sentiment on the inside of the card from the computer and added a leaf button that I removed the button backing from to make the card stand up.  The sentiment on the front of the card is from a very old stamp I had and do not know where it is from.

I hope you enjoyed my first blog post as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you!
