Happy Thanksgiving! Color Combos #136 & 138





My turkey is in the oven as we speak! Perfect time to blog and share some layouts with color combinations from Color Combos Galore. My house is still very quiet this morning--the only sound being the pitter-patter of puppies' feet.

For the first color combo, #136, I used the boy, time, and scalloped circle cuts from the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge. That's my husband, Rodney, showing our little boy, Raiden, some things about the drill press--it wasn't on of course. I couldn't help snapping some pics of their time together.

The second color combo, #138, put together by the very talented Jennifer Barksdale, features the two newest additions to our family. We got them the weekend right after Halloween, eight-week-old Pomchi's, Dixie and Dottie. Believe it or not, they are both from the same litter. They've captured our hearts! We named Dixie after my mother-in-law. She doesn't know we even have them yet--that will be one of the surprises Thanksgiving will bestow upon her this year--LOL! My husband used to have a dog he named after his sister, Carrie, that passed away a few years ago. I thought it must be time to have a puppy named for his mother--such a cute name. For this Puppy Love layout, I used the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge for the title, border, and shaped tag, and my Futura 250 for the blanket stitch and decorative stitching on the border.

As always, thanks for stopping by, Happy Thanksgiving, and happy shopping Black Friday!
