Thank You Ever So Much

This week at Tuesday Throwdown we are sponsored by

 

and our theme is "So Very Thankful"

  I've used our sponsor's image "Dorrie" for my thank you card:

 The image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and distressed with Tim Holtz distress ink.  The sentiment stamp is one of the super sweet freebies from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.  The papers are all scraps from my stash and I'm not sure what paper pad they came from.  A little bling and a feather, also from my stash, finished it off.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us this week!

A Thankful, Raggedy Pair

It's Twisted Thursday time!!!  We are sponsored this week by Stitchie Bear stamps and our theme is "Aything Goes with the Optional Twist of Be Thankful"

I used Stitchie Bear's image "The Raggedys" to make my card:

Aren't they cute?!  I've colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and distressed the edges with Tim Holz distress inks.  The flower border is a Cricut cut from Paper Lace.  The sentiment is a Studio G stamp.  That background paper is some I picked up on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby about 3 years ago in a miscellaneous pack of paper.  Most of the pack was this print and I haven't found very many plaes to use it, but this was a great fit!

Inside is a Stampabilities stamp.

An Autumn Tag

Hello Bloggies!  It's time again for a challenge at My Sheri Crafts.  Sandy challenged us to create "Anything Fall/Thanksgiving Related".  I had two of this sunflower digi colored up and laying on my workdesk, just waiting to be used.  So I made a tag to use for a "Thank You" gift.

 

The digi is from Robyn's Fetish and colored with Spectrum Noir pens.  I used the second digi to pop up the top of the flower.  I used two sets of Spellbinders dies to cut the layers and the tag itself is cut with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.  The sentiment stamp is from Studio G.   

 

So this challenge shouldn't be too hard!  Come on over and join us!

A Quick Card for a Friend

Today I have a card I made for a friend who is ill.  My husband asked me to make a card one Saturday that he needed to take to his Sunday School class the next morning so everyone could sign it.  Here's what I came up with:

The paper is from Die Cuts with A View Textures and Finishes stack and the stamp is Stampabilities.  As you can see the 2nd layer is shiny silver foil paper from the same stack.

 I scrunched up the sentiment mat and inked it with Stampabilities ink.

These charms are from the stash of embellishments I bought from a friend who wanted to sell all of her supplies.  You can also kind of see the great texture on this paper.  This is a really nice stack.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great Sunday!

I didn't create this card with any challenges in mind, but it fit perfectly with the "Last Minute" challenge at Cricut Creative Cutter Room!

Thanksgiving Decor

I saw a super cute project on our challenge at My Sheri Crafts using tags and you can see it here.  I decided I wanted to use that same idea for Thanksgiving and here is my project:

 The tags are all cut at 6" from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and I used old cereal boxes for them.  The banner is from Potpourri Basket and "Blessings" is from Cindy Loo, and I used a shiny copper paper on them.

The other cuts are from Doodlecharms, My World, Savory, Disney Princess Happily Ever After, Joys of the Season, Botanicals, Disney Pooh & Friends and Paper Doll Dress Up.  Thank goodness for my Gypsy so I could arrange the paper and cut everything at one time!  I used up a ton of scraps on this, which was great.

I wanted a little sparkle, so I used spray glitter from Hobby Lobby.  It looks a little too glittery in this pic, but it doesn't sparkle quite that much under normal lighting.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  I think I'll make a Christmas one, too!  Just a little funny story about this one.  When I decided to make it, I had it pictured sitting on top of my t.v. and in my mind it looked great there!  Perfect spot!   When I got it finished and took the pictures I hurried upstairs and as I stepped into the living room I remembered......we have a new t.v that is one of those flat, thin screens.  There is NO WAY anything can sit on top of that t.v.!  Man, I was disappointed, aggravated and a little embarrassed that I had forgotten that!  So, now it's sitting on a table in the corner, under a lamp.  Oh well, it's still a nice project!  :-)

My Sheri Crafts Challenge #73

Hello and Happy Saturday to you!  It's time for another challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  This week it's all about "Be Thankful" - create a card/project with a Thanksgiving or Thank You theme.  I went with the Thank You theme in thanking God for my friends and family. 

This is an A2 size card cut from a deep wine colored cardstock.  The patterned paper is from My Minds Eye, the stamp is Stampabilities, butterflies are from Stickopotamus and the bling from Imaginisce.  I embossed the sentiment mat with a Cuttlebug folder. 

The sentiment is actually stamped on a light blue paper that matches the blue flower you can see here.  It looks white in the pictures...don't know why!

All edges were inked with French Blue from Stampabilities and the sentiment was pop dotted. 

As this post goes up, I will be in Branson with my M-I-L, S-I-L, daughter and niece for our annual girls weekend.  We eat out, spend the night, eat out, shop and eat out some more!  :) It's a wonderful time to have fun together, get started on our Christmas shopping and draw closer as family and that makes it another thing I'm thankful for!

Thanks for stopping by, now get crafting and join us with all your Thankfulness at My Sheri Crafts!  Can't wait to see your creations!

Designed 2 Delight Challenge

Hello Again!  The latest update on my friend Tracy --  at 8:30 p.m. she was finally in recovery and the doctors were very pleased with how everything went.  They are still waiting on the official pathology report, but at this time, the doctors are still saying she is now cancer free!!!  Yes, Thank You Lord God our Healer! 

Designed 2 Delight had "Pumpkins and Tags" digi stamp this week and here is my card for the challenge:

 I cut the card base at 5x6 and the patterned paper at 4x5.  I colored the image with a combination of colored pencils and Dual Brush Pens.  Where I wanted the highlighting on the pumpkins I first colored with yellow pencil, then went over the whole pumpkin with orange marker.  The border punch is from Fiskars.  Yes, the ribbon is two different shades of orange and I did that on purpose! :)  I kind of liked both colors together better than just the light orange.  The Sentiment is a Studio G stamp.

On the inside I used the same patterned paper, which was in my scraps, and a pumpkin cut from another copy of the same digi.  I inked all the edges with Stampabilities Basil Leaf Green and used Studio G glitter glue on the pumpkins and leaves. 

Thanks for stopping by - come join in the fun at Designed 2 Delight!
