Thankful

Hello everyone!  This card will be my last card to share until after Thanksgiving, and I thought it would be the most appropriate. I am thankful for many things this year.... My wonderful Husband of 37 years, my two beautiful Children, my Grand son who is becoming a young man, my Parents who are still living and married to each other for 58 years! I'm thankful for my health, and for all my
family and friends far and wide who have helped and supported me in this paper journey! I am thankful for all of you, your thoughts and prayers in times of need, and all your encouragement these past years. I am so very blessed! Have a wonderful, beautiful Thanksgiving , and I will see you soon!

Hoo's Happy!

Hey Ya'll!  I have seen this card plastered all over Pinterest in every shape, form, and fashion. He is so cute I just had to make one of my own. This particular version I saw at scrapbooksetc.com, but I changed him up a bit. I first changed his wings and made them moveable, so that they can be folded up to fit in an envelope. I also made the whole card into an owl instead of a feature on the card. He was fun to make, and my Mother( who collects owl's) had fun making him "fly" when I showed it to her. I supposed I will have to send the card to her for Fall!

Thanks for looking and have a "Happy Fall Ya'll"!

Harvesting

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the Fall weather! In my neck of the woods, we really only have two very distinct seasons Hot and Chilly. Every once in a while the Chilly season will become very cold(with snow!!) and the Hot season will grace us with a bit of Spring and Fall. This year we are having some beautiful Fall weather and I am enjoying every minute of it! My card today is a CAS one using some new and not so new embellishments from my stash. The simple sentiment reminds me to step back and enjoy the gifts of the season this year. I hope that you all are doing the same! Thanks for peeking!

Fall

Hello everyone! Here's another quick card for you using the Stamp of the Month for September. I decided to do another chalkboard only this time with brown and white. I distressed the edges to give it a rustic look and used buttons and hemp, and rubbed some Distress Glitter over the two words "gratitude" and "Blessed". The inside sentiment simply says "Fall into Autumn". Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking!

Supplies- Plaid paper: Authentique "Pioneer Plaid", Stamp: CTMH "Poster Tidings" SOTM for Sept., Natural Hemp: CTMH, Buttons from stash, Distressed Glitter: Ranger.

Sunshine

Hello all! Today I have a quick share for you. I had this small piece of Glimmer card sitting on my table since Spring, so I decided to make a little note card with it for Fall. I thought the turquoise and the oranges and browns of the paper went together well, and I just happened to have a sunflower charm left over from a previous Work Shop on the Go by CTMH that matched perfectly. Love it when everything just falls into place, don't you?! The card dimensions are 41/4 x 41/4 so I also made an envelope to match out of some kraft. Have a beautiful day and thanks for peeking!

Supplies- CTMH: "Harvest Charms" WOTG: Dreamin', Glitter paper in Dark Brown, Sentiment: "Lots of Love", a new stamp set found in the Holiday Mini. Spellbinders: Shapeabilities label "Grommet Tags"

Show Your Colors

Hey Ya'll!  Just poppin' in to show you some cards that I made a few weeks ago at a playdate with Shirley, my upline with CTMH. She brought all kinds of shapes and colors for the two most recognized football teams here in Alabama and we just used our imagination and came up with some birthday cards. The first one I made for my hubby. He's an Alabama fan and his birthday is on Halloween. This is the off year for me to make his non- Halloween card. I used three different stamp sets and several different rectangles and just played around with them till I got it the way I liked it. The second most recognized team here is Auburn which my Father used to be a Professor at, so this one is for his birthday. I finished it up at home by making a small pom pom and adding the typewriter letters at the bottom. I must admit that I prefer the orange and blue to the crimson and grey myself, but I route for them both unless they are playing each other. Oh, I did add some white stitching with my gel pen to the sentiment on the Auburn card after the picture was taken. I just decided it needed something extra. It looked too plain.  Show Your Colors!! Thanks for looking!

Supplies- CTMH: All cardstock, Shimmer Trim in silver and black, Tiny Type Epoxy Alphabet, Stamps: "You Are My Happy", "A Little Gift", "Perfect Fit Birthday", Pom pom made with Paper Ribbon from World Market.

Autumn Blessings

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. We are finally experiencing a touch of Fall her, and I couldn't be more happy! I love the Fall season!  This is my first official card of the season! I was still playing with the core'dinations cardstock and  found some that was already embossed by jillibean soup (the red leaf in the center). The background was done with the Black Magic collection with a pale orange core. I used some jute from my stash along with some small pieces of corrugated cardboard that where laying on my table. I wish where ever you are that you are enjoying this wonderful Fall weather, and thanks for looking!

Supplies- Leaves: Tim Holtz Alterations die "Tattered Leaves", Stamp: S.U. "Take Care" Label: S.U. "modern Label(trimmed), Embossing folder: Paper Studio "Leaves".
