♥ Simon Says...Get in Shape! ♥

Happy Halloween! Well, not sure if it's so happy for us yet! You see, I am writing this post on Saturday due to us getting Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy starting on Sunday. It is supposed to make landfall right on top of us and we are only 10 minutes from the ocean. If we have power on Tuesday, you won't see this post! I will re-write it, but if you see this right now, that means we have no power. So please pray for us! We have a generator but it will be used for refrigerators, lights, etc. The poor kiddies won't have a Halloween! But hopefully they will reschedule Trick-or-Treating for them and also reschedule the Halloween Parade our town has every year. It's the 2nd Largest Halloween Parade in the World! So hopefully, the storm won't be too bad. Please pray for all of us here in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States.

This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is all about Shaped Cards! No squares or rectangles. You can make cards in so many shapes! You can do circles, triangles, hexagons, snowflakes, a house, a stocking, etc, etc! Be creative and think outside the box!

For my card, I wanted to make something a little different. So I racked my brains for days and then one day, on my die cutting table, I had a scalloped circle laying next to a heart. And then, my Turkey was born! I first ran the largest die from the Spellbinders Large Scallop Circle Dies through my Cuttlebug with some Timeless paper by Bazzill and 2 more circles using some Kraft cardstock. Then add glue to the very top of the Kraft circle and adhere it to the back of the patterned paper circle to form a card base.

I then punched out several hearts using the Martha Stewart Heart Punch and some papers by Authentique from the Thankful 6x6 Paper Pad. Now adhere each heart individually to the back of the card to form the "feathers". When finished, adhere the other Kraft circle over the back of the card.

Now, add 2 hearts to the bottom inside of card, folding at the top to make 2 feet and another to the front of the card to act as a beak. The eyes are Prima Crystal Hearts. I added a Happy Thanksgiving stamped sentiment to the inside of the card using Lawn Fawn's Happy Everything Set.

And don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Have a wonderful day!
