Something Different

Hello and Happy Sunday, the weekend is coming to an end and I can't suy that I accomplished a lot!  Oh well such is life, I am back today to share another card that I put together for Thanksgiving, I sure hope I finish and get them in the mail by Friday!  As you know I usually stick to clean and simple paper crafting and I rarely step out of my comfort zone.   I finally pulled out my supplies and did some wet embossing, this is probably not a big deal to most but I finally tried it after having it on my to do list forever.  I hope that you can see it on the sentiment, it's not perfect; I do plan on adding more wet embossing on more of my holiday cards.   I used some paper from a Making Memories (Autumn Splendor) paper pack that has been in my stash for a long time.

Take care and have a wonderful week.

Simple Thanks

Hello Monday, where does the time go?  There just isn't enough time to complete my weekend 'to do' list.  I had to do some shopping for my daughter, we had to get  a dress for her high school homecoming festivities and exchange some other items that I purchased when she wasn't with me.  I just can't shop for her anymore and she doesn't like to shop with me because I don't want to pay regular price for anything!  Oh well she will learn when she starts making and spending her own money.  Besides I always shop the clearance and sales when shopping for me.  Oh well on to today's post!

Today I am sharing a Thanksgiving card that I put together over the weekend, my plan is to make and  mail about 15 cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas.   I just used miscellaneous scraps of paper, a stamp, some leaves leftover from other projects and a few gems.   I am sharing today's card for the following three challenges:

CYCI#93 Fall  Anything Goes -  Can You Case It?

HIMCR#293 Freestyle - Hiding in my Craft Room

FFC#112 Anything Goes - Jo's Scrap Shack

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will come back soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week as we kick off the holiday season.  I sure hope I get to work on a LO soon, I really don't consider myself a card maker.

Hello Monday

Today I wanted to do a quick post sharing some Thanksgiving cards that I put together yesterday after seeing this post over at Scraps of Color Espire.  They may be simple but they came together rather quickly since I needed to finish up my cards so they could go postal today.  Yesterday was cloudy so this was the best picture I could get using my cell phone since I was in a hurry.  All items used have been in my stask for a while with the exception of the pattern paper used on  the card to the right which I purchased from HL earlier this month!

Take care and have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving

So much to be thankful for, I would never be able count all my blessings, just trying to complain less and live a life of gratitude and thankfulness.  We have less than two weeks before Thanksgiving so I decided to put together some really simple cards.  I sure hope I am able to finish them and get them in the mail.  This simple card was made using some paper scraps and a cut from the Thanksgiving cricut cartridge, I used some stickles on the stem.

Today's card is being submitted for the week #45 Give Thanks blog challenge over at Scraps of Color and  for the  HIMCR #174 Think Fall challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Take care and have a wonderful week.
