Thankful

Hi friends. Are you getting ready for the upcoming Holiday? We are getting ready, busy cleaning and cooking and shopping! I'm thankful my family travels to see us for Thanksgiving. This year we're lucky enough to also host my brother and his fiance. We're going to have a great time (and we're going to eat some great food!). And maybe we'll venture out shopping on Friday! Here's a quick card you can make this week - maybe you need to drop it off to your Thanksgiving hostess.

I paired Bravo Burgandy, More Mustard and Soft Suede. A piece of Autumn Traditions DSP is the perfect background, a frayed edge. I quickly cut out and popped up select images from Falling leaves. I matted them on various size circless. I used GIVE THANKS from the hostess level 1 set, colored with markers, punched out with the wide oval punch, matted on a slightly larger Sizzix oval. Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon finishes off this quick card!

Here's the simple inside. Ready for me to write my message and send!

World Card Making Day and PPA

Hellooooooooo!!!! Are you up to your eyeballs in scissors and sticky strip static cling pieces? Are your fingers inky?? I've made several cards already, and I'm not slowing down. The weather is going to be beautiful, I'm making cards, eating buckeye bars, and watching football!!

I was over at PPA and their challenge is Gratitude and Thanks. Here's my clean and simple card.

After cutting the leaves with the Big Shot, I crinkled and crumpled them up and then sponged the edges and the folds to make the leaves more realistic. Wouldn't these be great scattered across your Thanksgiving table? Or maybe your mantle? The leaves were so beautiful that I didn't want to add much more to the card.

I stamped and cut out a couple of leaves from the Falling Leaves set and used a scrap of DSP.
