I found lots of gorgeous goodies, and we got to make a card too. Here is mine.

turkey anyone?

Hey there! Do you see a little sparkle to this card? I have tried to use some twinkling H2O's and kinda messed up the apples a little, as I tried to paint over the red copics with a pinkish color-but I added stickles on top, so hopefully it doesn't look too bad! This was my first attempt using these paints, and I am excited to try it again! I love the sparkle Holly!! Thank you! I got this dear little turkey over at squigglefly. They are having another big release on the 17th. make sure not to miss it! On this card, I used more of the new debbie mumm paper pack-ya really gotta get it!
