OWH Gel a tins Sketch Challenge - Thanksgiving Turkey Card

Here is a quick card I made using the OWH Birthday Bash Gel-a-tins Sketch! You can play along with this challenge and see some of the sponsors great products here.

 

I just used some scraps and a Turkey cut from Cricut "Create a Critter" (my favorite) Cartridge. I think I will put google eyes on it before sending to OWH, just makes him cuter. 

I actually think the sketch for the challenge would make some awesome Christmas cards and will try to do that when I get a little more time and a few things on my to do list finished.
