Thankful . . .

Hello Friends!

I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today!  

Other than my design team creations, things have been pretty quiet here on my blog.  It's a busy time of year for me but my annual craft show is over for another year (did very well this year thankfully) and the few extra orders I received are completed and delivered so now, I'm taking the time for a little fun. 

I spotted a fun challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge blog where the theme is P for Pumpkin.  So, that is the focus of today's creation.  What do you think?

(My plan is to pop this into today's mail to our Michigan friends ... she's always SO GOOD at sending me cards and although I make so many cards, I'm really bad about sending them ... well that stops today!! lol) 

 

I'm very thankful for these particular friends as they were our neighbors when we lived in Toledo, OH and have remained dear friends even after moving here to Akron, OH 22 years ago. 

 I had this 'frame' die cut hanging  on my 'extras' board and since I wanted to showcase this beautiful pumpkin sticker (from one of the sticker books I ordered online last year) I thought that would be perfect.  My 'thankful' sentiment is a stamp from a very old stamp set from Scrapbook.com.  Orange Nuvo Crystal Drops were the only added element for texture & dimension.

  5. You created such a wonderful pumpkin-inspired card, I love the bold autumn colours. I always find it fascinating how sometimes crafting supplies come to life after waiting so long for the right moment. Happens to me all the time! Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
