EAT HAM BOB!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend....OK this is a little back story...one of my friends who is awesome and comes to my card classes, who also comments on my cards no matter what, has a super cute husband :) who posted on my blog one day to LMK that he would like his wife to make a Turkey Hunting card because those turkeys in the first picture are in my backyard..... I do love all wildlife and I consider myself a "Snow Mexican" if it's an animal I will feed it, so I believe Bob is a turkey hunter...Bad Man! Bad Man!:) :) so this is as close as he's going to get to a Turkey Card :)!!! So here's your card Bob :) ..
The image is from Digital Delight by Louby Loo (Tiny Turkey) ....I added the sentiment LOL! All the DP is from Basic Grey (Max & Whiskers) ..the pearls are from recollections and the ribbon is from my "stash" ...Have a great day!!!

OK to the cards..The second card was the sneak peak I had for last week of Sassy Frostina ..she's so darn cute..all of the cards are from my favorite challenge sketches
