WOW. I know I said I would be back later in the afternoon on Friday with my Friday Sketch but man oh man was this weekend ever INSANE!! Today is officially Thanksgiving for us here in Canada so Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers!!
The dinner I cooked and served on Saturday for all my extended family went really well! The turkey turned out great (yup cooking a fresh turkey is way better than frozen - and I don't really know much about cooking Turkey (well nothing at all LOL) but all I had to do was put it in the oven and it was good to go 'till we pulled it out and cut it up (we don't do the whole "presenting it at the table and someone carves it up for each person" - maybe someday......we just dig in!!)). And everything else turned out great especially:
My very first apple pie :o) Actually it's a Sour Cream Apple Pie.
I know it's not the smartest thing to bake and serve something you've NEVER done before - but I HAD to make this pie and thank goodness it turned out PERFECT! Everyone loved it and there was not a crumb left.
If you're interested in the recipe you can find it here on Posie Gets Cozy - I love her blog. I read it all the time and have never tried any of the recipes she's shared but this one I had to and it was SO good - I'll definitely be making it again!
Anywho it was a long and busy weekend. We had my brother-in-law and his wife and new baby (3 weeks old!) staying here all weekend, Thanksgiving lunch and supper at the in-laws yesterday (I am so full of turkey now I think I will burst!) and brunch this morning. Needless to say it was a GOOD weekend just a long and tiring one!

So of course for my belated Friday Sketch I had to use my Fluffles Turkey stamp.
I cut an oval with my Nestabilities die and my CuttleBug then stamped the fluffles image, colored it in with my Copics, then masked the bottom and stamped A Muse's Small oval stamp to ground the image.
I then replaced the Nestabilities die on the oval and airbrushed with a creamy colored marker (sorry I forget which one!) around the image (I didn't bother masking the image - just went in with a little color at a time with the airbrush and it was good to go) to make it stand out more.
I used the Autumn Type Cuttle Bug folder on the Olive cardstock (misting the CS with water first using a Mini Mister - makes it much crisper embossed impression and no cracking!!), some Chatterbox paper (that I've had forever - it's probably not available anymore), May Arts ribbon and DoodleBug brads.

And here's the sketch!:
If you upload your card using this sketch to any public galleries please use the keyword AMYRS41 to make it easier to find.
And don't forget to link directly to your creation in the comment section of this post so that I can see it too! (please don't use just a general link to your blog/gallery - if you've posted several times since then I have to search to find the right post!)
Also if you want me to link to your card in next week's sketch post you have to have it done and linked to before next Friday - other than that there's no time limits. I just enjoy having any of you participate and linking back to your creations is a little way for me to say thank you!! :)
