Happy Thanksgiving





Hello Peeps !!!
 
Happy Thanksgiving !!!
 
Today, I am sharing a card that I did using the Holiday Home stamp set and the corresponding Homemade Holiday framelits. I also used the saying so grateful for you.
I do have a lot of things to be thankful for. It occurs almost in our day to day existence and not even notice it. Like the other day, I just realized it has been years since I put gas in my car because my dear husband have always done it for me. How the kids to this day still give their Mom a kiss on the cheek pretty much on a regular basis. Also, I am thankful for a job that I love and of course my other job being a demonstrator which I both find fulfilling in so many different ways. Lets not forget the family that is always there and friends that loves you no matter what.
Anyway, I do hope you like the card. I added the Hello Honey ribbon to finished it off .
 
RECIPE:
Stamps: Holiday Home
Paper:  Cajun Craze, Whisper White, Hello Honey
Ink:  Memento Black, Blendabilities
Accessories: satin stitched ribbon, burlap
Tools:  Homemade Holiday framelits, dimensionals

Simply Simple




Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Monday !!!

It was a crazy busy weekend for me celebrating my birthday. My DH treated me to a nice weekend getaway in Palm Springs- shopping at my favorite outlet stores, dining, strolling down main street in the afternoon and enjoying the comforts of home where we stayed. Every now and then, I think we need that and not just on occasions.
Anyway, here's a very simple card that I did using the Fabulous Four stamp set. I inked up the Bordering Blooms for the first time and it just makes a nice border. I used a 3 x 11" c/s and you can make 3 out of a 8-1/2 x 11 c/s. I scored it at 6" and stamped the border stamp. Hope you like it.

RECIPE:
Stamps:  Fabulous Four, Bordering Blooms
Paper: Whisper White, In Color DSP
