Thankful For You



Here's another card I made with my Celebrate Life set from Taylored Expressions. The largest yellow panel on the card base is up on Taylor's 1/16" foam tape. The silhouettes are stamped on Choice Buttercream, and I added some Platinum Stickles to the largest flower.

Henry with Bauble

Good morning! Hope you're all having a great weekend so far. Yesterday morning we went to a Thanksgiving parade in town and had such a great time. Now we're thinking of heading into Philly on turkey day for their parade...something we've never done, but hey, it might be fun to actually be there instead of watching it on TV. Anyhooo, onto my card.....



Here's a 5.25" square card I made for WOJ Sketch #54 using this cute little Henry with Bauble image from Stamper's Dream. It's colored with prismas and I added a little fruit punch Stickles to the ears and feet. The baby pink light panel was faux stitched with a blue marker and the card base is nautical blue dark.

Have a great day!

Fabulous Fall Key Ingredients

Remember back in May, Taylor had a spring spectacular event and offered four Key Ingredients Kits at a discounted price? Well, she's offering four new limited edition kits again! The new fall kits are Winnie's Walls, Paisley & Polka Dots, Penelope's Potpourri, and Morning Meadow....each one at a discounted price of $12.95 and each kit will include a full color inspiration sheet with 6 samples created by members of the Baker's Dozen.

The kit that I used on my cards is Morning Meadow. It includes the patterned paper, Prism paper, and ribbons you see on all my cards below.



The "stitchy" DP that I used on my first two cards is my favorite pattern from the kit. I also love this lace ribbon. I thought they'd go really well with my Beary Special set. I stamped the little patch from the set onto some extra DP and paper pieced it onto the bears. These cards measure 5" square.



These next two cards are 4.25" square, and they show some different patterns of DP and polka dot ribbon from the kit. For these quick cards, I used my new Celebrate Life set and added a little bit of Stickles to the flower silhouettes.

You can see more awesome projects with these new Fall KI Kits today on these blogs:

Winnie's Walls: Jodi and Karen M.
Paisley & Polka Dots: Donna and Sankari
Penelope's Potpourri: Taylor and Karen G.
Morning Meadow: Charmaine

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Angels Landing Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to the Angels Landing November Blog Hop! Today we're showing you the newest digi sets for November, Polar Bear Cubs and Button Bugs. If you missed the beginning of the hop, head over to Judi's blog and follow the links. If you've come here from Cindy Royal's blog, then you're right on track with the hop.

You'll want to be sure and stop by everyone's blogs in the hop. Why?.....because there's blog candy up for grabs on FOUR of them! Whoo-hoooo!

I have two cards to show you today. The image and sentiment on the first card are from Polar Bear Cubs.



I added some frosted lace stickles to the bear's hat and the snow on the sentiment, and glittered up the chipboard snowflake with ultrafine pearl glitter and diamond glaze. The edges of the main image, sentiment tag, and embossed snowflake panel are all sponged with bashful blue ink. The card base is Prism Twilight Medium.

The image and sentiment on this second card are from the new Button Bugs set.



Judi was so clever in designing this set!.....the images work with REAL buttons (sizes 1/4" and 3/8") or you can punch them out and create your own faux buttons. The DP and buttons are Basic Grey's Wisteria. I added some lavender Stickles around the paper pieced wings. The card base is Prism Wizard Dark.

Here's a picture of the inside.....this *hi* sentiment is also from Judi's Button Bugs set.



Okay, next up in the hop is Cindy Haffner! Head on over and check it out!

She IS a treasure!



Whooo-hooooo, my awesome friend Dawn (TreasureOiler) was picked as Sunday's Featured Stamper! When I saw the post yesterday I was so excited and couldn't wait to play. I know she LOVES pink and blue holiday cards, so I picked her pretty Holiday Wonder card to CASE. I kept pretty much everything the same....same DP, PTI colors, stamp, layers, piercing, and ribbon. I just added some silver cord, some sparkle to the snowman, and a wavy dot border.

HUUUUUGE Congrats, Dawn! Love ya, girl!
