Thinking of You and being thankful

Before I get to the card I want to share with you what I was most thankful for this year. We traveled to see my husband's mother this Thanksgiving. During the summer we alomost lost her. She was very sick and we did not expect her to be around this Thanksgiving. Thanks be to God that when we went to see her she was healthier, stronger and spunkier than ever. I know alot of people have trouble with their in-laws but I truly love this woman. She has been a rock in my life and a blessing to my family. She also trained my husband very well. He cooks, cleans and does laundry thanks to her! Woo hoo! Thank you God for another Thanksgiving with her!

Well now for the card.

I used the Cricut Imagine to cut the tag with Thinking of you stamp. I used Purple pigment in on the edges of the paper to as depth to it. I then used Colorblok white core cardstock paper, a cuddlebug embossing folder and sanding technique to make the pink square. The pattern paper is from The Paper Studios Adhesive collection paper block.

In the Christmas Spirit!

I am so in the Christmas spirit today! Wishing my DH would bring the Christmas stuff out of the attic. Maybe next weekend. Well today I have been off work so I took advantage of my free time. I went to Hobby Lobby and took advantage of the 50% off Christmas Crafts and bought some stickers and paper to make Christmas cards. this is just one of the many I made today. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Thank You Card

I made this card to send to a new craft friend. I hope she will like it when she receives it.

I cut the flower and the tag on the Cricut Imagine using the Plantin cartridge for the flower and the tag is one of the basic shapes built into the Imagine. I used Cotton Candy ink to color the flower and the tag. I used Colorblok white core cardstock to make the background. I put it through the Cuddlebug in the swirls folder then sanded the paper. I made a paper bow out of some old paper.

Hope you are doing good and inspired to craft! Have a great day!

I had a blast Saturday thrift store shopping. I found a shelf to store the stamps I use the most. I plan on painting it black.

Not sure what I will store in this house yet but it matched the box below it I already had. I painted the box black green and yellow to match the toom.  Not sure if I will paint the house like the other or leave it for now.

 Thrift stores have been a great resource for storage for me. The Habitat Restore and Goodwill have had some awesome items that I have incorporated into my house and craft room storage.
