I'm Stuffed!.

Here is another card.. this is an actual CAS.. sort of.. I think LOL! I have a really hard time with CAS! And its a Thanksgiving. I think this is an old Mooseberry image.. or now he is Doodle Dragon. This is one of those images that were just waiting to be colored. So, it is all colored up with my Prismacolor. Here is the card:

So, I colored up two of these and then I fussy cut them both and popped up a layer just like I did with the Christmas tree really. One side is popped. I like how it turned out :)  It's a cute image! I added one strip of brown patterned paper from my stashon the right. That is it LOL  Nothing more o.0 And that is really hard for me to do LOL  All that white space!!!  Yikes! Hope you like my simple little card ;)

Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner!!! And there is one week less between Thanksgiving and Christmas since Thanksgiving is late. Wow!! Crazy!
