You're slothsome

It's Thanksgiving Day here in the US and it's the first time I am not cooking in 30 YEARS!! We are going to our daughter's boyfriend's house for dinner and I have to bring 1 dish - I'm bringing Mountain Dew Apples. It's so GOOD!!! You can find the recipe here.

Have you seen the brand new masking stencils by Taylored Expressions? Oh my. Here's the link if you want to see them. They have 4 different ones, circles, ovals, rectangles and squares. I had to get all 4 because after watching a few videos I was convinced 1) they are a game changer 2) I can't just pick one size. This masking stencil made this card sooooo easy to create. Just place the stencil on your paper, blend your fave ink using a blending brush, then place another stencil over top while still taped to sheet of paper and use your blending brush to put the stencil on top of the circle. I am not sure this makes any sense but that's how I did it. Easy peasy!! I colored this sloth with my Koi watercolor paints and then fussy cut around him and added him to the card. The sentiment is computer generated because the only sloth sayings I have are "birthday sayings". Also, Taylored Expressions is in Iowa (I'm in NC) and I ordered them last Thursday and I got them on Monday. 3 days!!! I love fast service!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! I'm so thankful for all of you who read my blog and leave me comments. I really do appreciate it!
