Happy Thanksgiving to all whom celebrate! Today I have a few projects to share. First up is a Christmas card featuring a trio of fun houses from the PTI Love Lives Here stamp set:

along with a sentiment from the PTI Love Lives Here: Holiday stamp set:

Up next is a 12" x 12" oil painting that I painted for an assignment on perspective. This was my attempt at painting a still life from a looking up perspective:

I'm entering my card in the following challenges:
for color inspiration: Inspired by All the Little Things:

for sketch inspiration: Sunday Stamps challenge:

I'm entering my painting in the Paint Party Friday site:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
