Thankful, Grateful & Blessed


Hi everybody! How's your weekend coming along? Here we are with Sunday right around the corner, and it's time to post another card!

For this card, I used PilgrimGirl2Stamp and PilgrimBoy2Stamp from Stephanie Barnard's Stamps of Life.  I just love these sets -- the pilgrims are so cute!

I stamped the images on Ivory cardstock, then colored them with Copic markers. After doing some diecutting, I added the turkey, pumpkin and pie and then layered the stamped piece to a layer of brown cardstock. Finally, this was added to a base layer of patterned cardstock.

My coloring isn't the best, but I'm working on it. Shaky hands and tremors don't help. That's actually the least of my worries, so I won't harp on that. All of us have issues to deal with, right? Might try these folks in grey instead of black next time. Stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate your comments and visits very much, and I hope to see you again real soon ~

Give Thanks!


Hello everybody! Hope you are having a good week. I just got back from West Virginia, so I missed a week posting a new card.

Today's card was created using the new Painted Autumn Stamp TV Kit from Gina K Designs. I just love her kits -- this one included two sets of stamps, dies, cardstock, and patterned paper. For my card, I used the cardstock in pure luxury white and dark chocolate. I created my own background using one stamp of a (three-stamp design) in Honey Mustard, Fresh Asparagus and Faded Brick inks. The images were colored with Copic markers.

I just love the colors of Fall, and I was happy to create a card using some of them. Here in North Carolina, the leaves hardly change color, so I had to create my own!
