HAPPY THANKSGIVING Everyone!!! Give thanks for all you have!

I saved this card for Thanksgiving because it is such a pretty card!  It was created by Sharon Madsen.  Isn't it a beauty???!!!???  I love all the vibrant colors.  You can tell Sharon went to a lot of trouble to make this such an amazing card.  I'm thankful for all my creative friends.


Today is a day for all of us to remember all those who aren't with us any longer and those we still have in our lives.  God is good!  It is a wonderful time to share our time with our loved ones and make new memories.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stamping!   Judy   :)

Lovely As a Tree - Thanks

This card was created by Launa Cable-Hick at one of our Stamp-a-Stacks.  Lovely As a Tree never goes out of style.  Sponge Daubers were used to color the trees.  We had a nice long fall here in Colorado this year.  The colors were beautiful.  I especially love the quaking golden aspen leaves with a backdrop of dark green pine trees and a crisp bright blue sky.  Thank you God for such beauty for us to enjoy.


Snow has visited us several times lately but so far, we haven't been dumped on yet.  Yeah!!!  :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy THANKS Giving

Here is a pretty fall card made at one of our Stamp-a-Stacks...and to be perfectly honest, I can't remember who created this card.....but I did want to share it.  I love how she added four different colors of punches around the Happy Thanks saying...and the use of the great set called Gorgeous Grunge.  If this is your card, please let me know and I'll update my post.

It looks like Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip are the colors used.  The new Label Bracket punch from the Holiday Mini catalog was used.  Love this punch!!!!  It's a must have.

Thanks for stopping by.

Pumpkin Thanksgiving

This card was created by Sharon Madsen.  She used one of the Best of 25 Years stamp sets called Best of Autumn.  It is so wonderful that Stampin' Up! has released images from the past 25 years on a smaller scale than the original ones.  She used one of the Deco Labels Framelits.  I liked this Framelit set so much, I bought two....I just found the second one.  I thought I had shown restraint by not buying it....but I was wrong.  I always mean to be careful as to what I buy...but I fall in love with it all and pretty much end up with it all...and then some.  :)


In the Holiday mini catalog is a wonderful pack of Fall inspired Designer Series Paper called Sweater Weather.  I've gone through a couple of packs so far.  This DSP is great for male themed cards as well.

Hope you are enjoying getting ready for your Thanksgiving feast.  We will spend it with our son, Joe and his family.  We spent Christmas with them last year.  We will be there for another Nor'Eastern storm.  Brrrrr  :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Another Truly Grateful Card

This card was created by Jaune Stenstrom.  It is a unique fold card that I would love to try to make...when I have some spare time.  She made great use of the Window Frames Framelits dies.  I am just amazed with all the ideas we come up with.  We are truly wonderful, aren't we?????


Hope you are having a wonderful day.  Take time to create something to share with others.

Thanks for stopping by.

Truly Grateful

This card was created by Chris Pereira using Lovely As a Tree.  She also used some of the Washi Tape that Stampin' Up! sells..  I seem to be hoarding the Washi Tape...like I do the DSP.  I need to get over that and have fun with all the wonderful supplies I have.


In the winter the trees aren't as pretty as they are the rest of the year.  We are just thankful that the snow waited to dump on us until after our trees shed their leaves.  There have been so many years that we would lay in bed and listen to the limbs break and break and break.  This year won't include those memories, thank heavens!!!!  :)

Thanks for stopping  by.

Harvest of Blessings

This card was created by Amy Casal at one of our Stamp Camps at the Westminster Elks Lodge.  It has such a nice fall feel to it.  The stamp set used was Harvest of Thanks in the Holiday mini catalog.  I couldn't find the designer paper she used so it may be from a previous catalog.  Amy used one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits dies. 


This is my week of Thanks.  I am thankful for my family and all the friends I have accumulated over the years.  Each one of you has shaped me to be the person I am.  Thank you.  :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Gently Falling

This card was made by Aimee Pankau at a recent Stamp-a-Stack using the Gently Falling stamp set.  This set has a set of outline leaves and a set of the filler leaves.  There is so much we can do with this set.


Used was Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla card stock.  I love how Aimee used the Button and the Linen Thread.  I seem to be a button hoarder.  I buy them and buy them...and they don't show up on any of my cards.  My buttons are lonely in their little containers on the shelf.

I never thought I would be hoarder until I started stamping.  I have enough supplies for us all to play for a very, very long time.  :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stamping!   Judy   :)
