PPA119 Fashion Inspiration....Holiday thank you card

It is Thursday, was going to sleep in this morning, my only morning this week to do so but plans change...so after I got home again this morning I decided I needed to get to work for the PPA119 challenge....I made this 6 x 6 card all on the computer...with My Digitial Studio SU program...it was so easy to do. This week the challenge is on Fashion Inspiration of the Holidays and what better card to do but a Thanksgiving thank you card.....I just love how you can resize the stamps, etc and instead of stamping off a stamp to make the ink lighter, on the computer you just turn the opacity down like I did on the center stamp.

Then you can print the card on your home printer or have SU printing service print the card out and get as many as you might need...or using the card photo as part of a email thank you etc.

November Blog Hop with the Pals

Welcome to the NovemberPals Hop! This month, we're featuring Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah inspired cards and projects! Enjoy the hop and the amazing creations that the Pals have come up with.
You've likely hopped over from Mary Fish at http://www.stampinpretty.com/, I'm stop number 12 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah paper projects from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you'll be back on track!

I have been working on more MDS as I am still having knee issues since the surgery and doc says lots of ice and it is easier to be on the computer than at the stamping table....plus this way I don't have to do photos...it is all on the computer already...So here is what I have been playing with....

Look how it can be changed so fast....here it is with a few changes...

I will try to post more in the future...I am just sorry that this knee issue has been keeping me down so much and so busy with PT (physical therapy)...it is a 3 day a week thing so it uses up a lot of time daily.

Hop along for more inspiring ideas from Ann Schach at http://www.stampinchic.com/, stop number 13 on the November Pals Hop! Thanks for "hopping" by!

Lost along the way...the line up is here....
