I was asked by Jan to create a card for the Operation Write Home Mid Week Throw Down with the theme of Thanksgiving. I know that no one is really thinking about that yet, but yes, it's time to start creating those cards so OWH can send them to our troops overseas. I've used an older sketch from OWM and an Autumn Days stamp from SU. This is fairly simple and free of a lot of embellishments as it will be going in my box for OWM. The wheat under the pheasant is REAL! A short story here - the guy that has the field next to our house planted some wheat last year and due to it being dry-land farming and no rain, it never got much over about 6 inches high. It did "head out" though and when he cut it, so much blew into our yard! I sprayed it with a clear acrylic sealant before placing it on the card so it won't crumble in the mail. Be sure and check out OWH. I'll be entering this in the challenge at Tuesday Throwdown (animals).
I'll enter this in the challenges at Fussy and Fancy (for a man or boy) and Woodware USA (masculine).
Thanks for stopping by................

Wow two cards, you go girl!!!! Love them both, what a great fall/Thanksgiving card and will be so appreciated by all. Love the graduation card, isn't that just how they look after walking the stage and looking at their friends. Love it.
Both cards are excellent! Love the distressing on Kurt and the wheat stalk added to the OWH card.
Both cards are fantastic. How fun to be able to use real wheat on a card. Kurtis is looking good too! What's that die (or is it a punch) that you used behind him? It looks really cool peeking out.
Beautiful Thanksgiving card Lynn, I love the wheat and how you came to have this "embellishment" :) it's perfect for your card. Your Dude Time card is really cute too!
Thanks so much for making the sample Thanksgiving card for Operation Write Home for me too!

Oh, Lynn, I love your Thanksgiving card for OWH! That wheat is so incredible. And I love Kurtis, the Graduate -- I'm going to be working with him tomorrow night (I hope - if work gives a break.) Love the way you framed him -- I may have to CASE that. :-)
Heheh! He is fab!
I absolutely love the wheat. It's a great card. You are brilliant!

Look at you with two cards at once! Both of them are awesome, too! I love the wheat accent on the first card. I never would have thought about spraying it with sealant either. Love the colors on your graduate card! Such a fun image and the scalloped border frames him perfectly. Love it! :)
