MAGICAL MONDAY - Let's add some Buttons!

The lucky person to receive the random drawing prize for participating in last weeks challenge is: Toni

Please send me your address at magicintheair@att.net so I can get this out to you. CONGRATS and ENJOY!

This week I am super excited to introduce three new designers Danielle Lord, Kim McDonald and Selma Stevenson. All bring their own unique talents of inspiration to the team. Don't stop with just looking at their cards posted here, but make sure you also check out their blogs as well. The links are just above their posted cards below. Also, I would also like to introduce to you our November Guest Designer Lisa Cook, she too, brings us a lot of talent and inspiration. Make sure you check out her blog as well. So, why don't you join me in a big welcome for all the new Team Designers and this months Guest Designer!!

I realize that not everyone out there celebrates Thanksgiving, it is a tradition for the good ole USA, so how could I not have an image for that? So I went for a nice traditional cornucopia. I think we all have things to be thankful for no matter where we live on this globe, so I hope that even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving you could still use this wonderful image to create another type of card for harvest, fall or of thanks. So, in the mist of snagging this free image this week I want to challenge all (lurkers included) to leave a message for the designers and also include something you are thankful for on a daily basis. I am certainly thankful for all of you who participate on a regular basis and also for all the people that have supported and encouraged me along this journey.

Also, I have had a few people inquire about using my images in other challenges and by all means, yes! The only thing I would ask is that you credit me for the image.

Now, the main focus for the challenge is still the image, but I have included two sentiments for you to use as well, but it is not necessary; that is up to you. You could either use them on the outside of your card with the image or on the inside, or not at all. :O) But they are there if you would like to use/have them.

(C) "Cornucopia"

("Cornucopia" is no longer available for free... I am in a process of getting a website up and going to make available to you not only these images, but many more originals by me in digital form and in the near future photopolymer as well... it's all in "the works"! In just hours a new free image will be released)

Nilla brings us this weeks challenge. You will need to use the image "Cornucopia" I have provided and then Nilla wants you to use buttons on your creation.

The prize for this week’s random drawing for whoever participates in this weeks challenge and links their work back here is:

  8. Thanks so much for another beautiful image! I need to make a few more Thanksgiving cards, since we'll be celebrating by ourselves again this year and missing our big families!

    On a daily basis, I'm probably most thankful for my glasses. I couldn't do much without them!

  13. One of the things I have to be thankful for is you and the images you share! However, the link on the second sentiment is not working - when I click it, nothing happens. I tried in three different browsers but the link is not working on "May the bounty of the season..." Help!

  18. In this time of worry and uncertainty, I am thankful for all the blessings that the good Lord has given me. As my Mom used to say, "There are always people worse off than you are!" That means there are people who haven't found this website!! Thanks for the images you share and the great cards I can case.

  19. Nina-you are so generous with your digi images. Currently, my husband and I are traveling in our RV and digi images are a must for me! (They take no space :0)!) I plan to download this weeks image and hopefully create before long!!
    Thanks again,
    Carol
