Give thanks

This picture is of the two cards I made for Thanksgiving...

It was some time back and I think I used MojoMonday sketch. I went kind of crazy with that sketch and wanted to try it on different cards...

Sorry for being so short, things have been really crazy here with work and all. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving day card...

I made this Thanksgiving card weeks ago, but didn't get a chance to post yet. I have mailed all my Thanksgiving cards out, so now I'll slowly start posting them here :)
I bought these fall theme thick stickers at JoAnn's and wanted to try using them for the "window effect" by putting the stickers inside of the card and punching circles out from the card front.

It's kind of hard to see on this picture, but I used beige cardstock and sprayed it with my gold Glimmer Mist, so it has the shimmer. After it all dried I embossed it with cuttlebug. Not super happy with it, but I really like how embossing looks with the shimmer cardstock :)
Hope you guys are done with your Thanksgiving preparations! Thanks for stopping by!
This card is for following challenges:

Passionately artistic - to use fall colors

There's Magic In The air - to use red and cream

Thanksgiving...

I made this simple card to start off on my Thanksgiving Day cards... It's very clean and simple, so I was not too sure ab out it, but it'll do for starters :)
I embossed the background and used ribbon...
This card is for following changes:
Cute card Thursday - anything goes
The Charachter Cafe - embossing

Oak wreath

Today I have a very simple fall card... I thought beige would be a perfect background for the fall card. Don't really like the way my pictures turn out... it kind of looks flat :( I promise, it looks better IRL
Anyway, I colored my wreath and then made another layer that I poped on the dimentionals for more of a 3D effect...

I also used Stickles, but my camera would not pick it up for some reason

This card is for the following challenges:

Delightful Inspiration - to use this beautiful Oak Wreath image

Double delight - color challenge to use: yellows, oranges, brown, red, green

Simon Says Challenge - to make a card for a holiday (Christmas, Thanksgiving or Halloween)

Thank you for stopping by today.

Hello my dear friends! First off I wanted to apologize for not visiting your blogs lately. I have been sooooo super busy with everything and just can't seem to catch up. But I promise I will catch up and will visit each of you to admire your beautiful creations.
Today I have a very simple card for ... thanksgiving! (Yeah, I know)

This card is for the following two challenges:

Delightful Inspiration - to use this beautiful "Happy Harvest" image.

Double Delight - to keep it clean and simple.

I had fun working on this quick and easy card, I just love thanksgiving time, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :)

Thank you for stopping by!

2S4Y challenge

Happy Monday and thank you for coming!
I'm entering into another challenge today. It is for 2Sketches4You. Kazan posted a sketch to follow. And since I'm finishing up on some of my Thanksgiving cards, I thought I would combine the two. I used paper and this wide ribbon I had but never got to use until now (thought it would be perfect for the challenge). I really like its texture and glitter for sparkle :)

Here is the close up... I used 3D gold paint and gold glitter (sorry it's not as sparkly yet, it was still drying) :)

So that's my card for today :) Thank you for stopping by.

Challenges JUGS8 and C4C12

For today's card I'm combining two challenges... One is - Just Us Girls - JUGS8 and the other is Crazy4Challenges - C4C12.
Just Us Girls has a color challenge and this week you're supposed to use three of the colors: Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust and Bashful Blue. Oh, and to make a card for the season of thanks...
Crazy4Challenges offered a sketch. So I combined two of them and here is what I came up with:

I printed "thank you" in several different languages and then embossed it with black embossing powder. Here is the close up (all I can say is: Thank God for google :)

I've never really layered paper on top of itself, but thought I would give it a try. I love this blue, so I thought it would really make the other colors pop.

And I layered it on dimensionals. I also added three smoked topaz rhinestones, but for some reason my camera didn't pick up on their sparkle...
Well, that's my card for today. Enjoy your Sunday and thank you so much for stopping by!

Thanksgiving... next week?

OMG, the time is flying waaaaaaaay to fast for me. I just now (one hour ago) realized that the Thanksgiving is NEXT week!!! WOW! And the freakiest thing...I only had one card done...

So now I have to get on it and make some cards for family and friends. Once I realized it, here is the card I made:

I used "Autumn" cuttlebug and core-dination card stock.

After sanding the card stock looks so gorgeous in real life, so I didn't feel right adding anything else...just two leaves...

Thanks for stopping by! And happy weekend!

My first paper piecing project...

Hello!

I'm so excited to share my first attempt at paper piecing :)

Last week I was so very lucky to win a new digital image from the Sassy Studio Designs. It is a new wonderful sassy Thanksgiving image. And they are also hosting a challenge for paper piecing. Sooooooooooo I thought I would give it a try.

So here is my card....

The paper I used was actually an ad from the magazine :) But I like it so much, I cut it out (I like the look of fabric and sequences).

Here is the closer look:

Thanks for dropping by! Happy crafting! :)
