Happy Thanksgiving!!! Welcome to the PPA Sketch Challenge. Our sketch this weeks comes from our very own, very talented Margaret Moody.
I ended up creating the same card twice, tweaking just a bit here or there, but in different colors. I decided to take a break from making Christmas Cards and make a couple cards for my granddaughters, Paige and Gabby. I wanted girly, girl cards for today.
The red and pink is for Paige, and the blue is for Gabby.
I used retired DSP so I could have crisp, white cards. I hope you don’t mind. I really miss those retired DSP’s in the. There was so much you could do with them. Plus I love white.

I can’t wait to see your card created from Margaret's sketch. You have until Tuesday at noon to upload your card to the PPA, so you can enjoy your Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping.
I do have a question of the day for you... Are you buying yourself a Christmas Gift this year? Will it be something personal or for your cardmaking? I have bought myself a new purse for Christmas (for the past couple years), wrapped it and signed it... to my ever loving wife, you are awesome, sweet, kind and wonderful. You have my heart forever! Love, Steve. Well not this year. We have a local jewelry store, that makes Eternity Bracelets. They hand make each one with your old gold/stone or theirs. Then they solder it on your wrist so it never comes off. I am getting myself one this year. I have 2 rings I never wear anymore and a stone from a necklace, so I’m half way there. I am so excited!!! I think I’ll sign this one from the kids. *smile*
Here’s four of them, from left to right is Annie, Molly, Ricky and Tommy. You’d think they’d nap long ways on the table... 
This is Sweetpea in the catnip, isn’t she cute!!!
Below is Licorice and Camo at play. Sweetpea, Licorice and Camo are the mom’s of my gang.
Well, I will see you at the PPA!!! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!!! Hugs,

Your granddaughters will LOVE these girly cards. They remind me of Valentines. And, I cannot WAIT to see a photo of your wrist with the new "stones" and gold! Go, Carla!
Stunning cards! I enjoy seeing retired DSP. It reminds me to use mine. I bought myself a bunch of SU goodies for Christmas but I won't wrap them because I will be too busy using them. Super cute cats! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I thought I was the only one that had a cat that loved to lay on my paper! Your cards are wonderful......the both of them!
Love, love, love these cards! They're stunning as always!
And your kids are just too sweet--love the way they all sleep together!
Can't wait to see your bracelet. Good for you!
