Fall Fence

 These are my last two Thanksgiving cards, this first one that I stamped seemed a little bare so I added a die cut pumpkin to the scene :) I sponged on some ink for grass and then stamped a few little touches of grass. Some light inking of blue just so that it isn't so white.

• Penny Black - Fall Fence Stamp, colored w/markers and Pumpkin Parade die
• Distress inks - Mowed Lawn and Tumbled glass
• CRS Tapestry - Grass blades peg stamp
• 49 and Market - in the leaves rub-on sentiment

I would like to share this card with the Penny Black Saturday challenge 

Next up is another of the images my hubby made for me on the computer.

• Image my hubby made on computer
• Spellbinders - Classic Scalloped Square small die
• Memory Box - Stitched Rectangle layers die
• 49 and Market - in the leaves rub on sentiment

Well we have a wintery mix of rain and snow coming early Saturday morning, so winter is making it's arrival, I can say I am not ready.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Autumn Harvest

 I have a couple more Thanksgiving cards to share, they don't all have traditional sentiments on them this year but I am using what I have.

This first was using another stamp set.

• 49 and Market - In the leaves, wishing bubbles and trinkets (sentiment)
• Spellbinders - Labels 37 die

This next one I got recently at the stamp store in Missouri, more pretty Studio Light goodies.

• Jute twine

Sisters

 Thanksgiving cards for my sisters, I went with a stamp and shaped card for my first, I know don't be in shock that I didn't use any pattern paper :) Going with a classic clean look. I did a little inking around the edges before removing the die.

• Inky Antics - Pumpkin Scenes stamp set, colored w/markers
• Spellbinders Labels 29
  
  

This next one I used an image from my daily calendar because of the message on it, my brother in law has been going through a lot of health problems over the past couple years and we got some good news recently, so this fits perfectly and they both like coffee :)

• Katy Daisy, Just Bloom 2025 Daily Calendar image
• Graphic 45 - Botanical tea papers
• Martha Stewart - Border punch

Even though this has been a rough year at times, we can always find things we are quite grateful for!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and hope you have a great weekend!

Collaboration

 One time when we went into Michaels hubby found these beads that you put together and then melt them with an iron, he thought that was a neat idea, I told him I didn't think I wanted to try that and he ended up getting them for himself.  His first try didn't come out perfect, but he gave it to me and said I should use it on a card, so since Thanksgiving was coming up I thought I would use it for his sisters Thanksgiving card and that way it would be something from both of us.

• Beaded Leaf
• PPD - Burlap Swatch die
• 49 and Market - In the leaves rub on sentiment
• Diamond Dots

Next up is a birthday card for my nephew and I went with a Graphics Fairy image and some stamped leaves to frame it.

• Graphics Fairy - Leaves and branch print
• Hero Arts - Wood frame infinity die
• Stamp in up - Leaves 1997
• Sentiment stamp was in my scraps box

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Be Joyful Always

 I bought this tag and bag die set for my journaling, I got it on sale :) But I thought it would make a nice gift for my sister in law, I know she has devotional books that she could always use a bookmark and thought the tag could work for that.  She has received it and said she will be using it :)

I love the jagged edge on the bag.

• Hot off the press - Tag in a bag die set
• K&Co. - Ancestry.com papers for the bag
• Graphic 45- Botanical Tea paper for tag
• Stamps of Life - Praise4Him (verse on envelope)
• ODBD - Scripture Collection 2 stamp set (tag)
• Lawn Fawn - Outside In Stitched Scalloped rectangle die (on bag)
• Spellbinders - Lacy Squares die (pocket on tag)
• Hot off the press _ Botanical Library (inside of pocket on tag)
• Impression Obsession - Spring bird die
• Ribbon and string

I glued the square die on tag on sides and bottom only so that it could be a pocket to hold anything in there she may want to save our take notes.

That is all for today, hope you have a great week ahead and thanks for taking the time to stop by and say Hi,

Connie
