Sending Many Thanks--PPA 269 and Cards In Envy

November 1, 2015

 Lots of changes today.  New month, new time  and the days are getting shorter.  I always have a difficult time adjusting to it getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon.  I feel like it is time to put on your pj's!  LOL!

 It's Sunday, and I am the hostess for The Paper Players challenge this week.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  It reminds me of my Daddy.  He always loved this special day to spend with family and enjoy delicious foods all day.  I decided I wanted the theme to be "Fall Thank You" projects.  We all have so many things to be thankful for.  I thought it would be special to take time to write a special note to someone you want to express those feelings to.  I am also entering my card in the Cards In Envy Challenge.  Their theme is Gratitude this week.  





My card is designed for my Mommy.  She loves these gorgeous fall colors and I wanted to thank her for all she has done for me.  I started with an Early Expresso card base.  All the patterns on this card are from a Carta Bella paper pack called "Fall Blessings.  This card was very easy to make.  I used the Vintage Leaves dies from Stampin' Up and cut three leaves with the DSP.  I also cut a tag using "Tag, You're It" from Lawn Fawn to cut the tag that is under the leaves.  I made a small bow using Linen thread and added a button.  Glue dots were used to attach both of these.  I heat embossed the sentiment using Vintage Versa Fine ink and clear embossing powder.  The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up! set (Petite Pairs).  



So happy you stopped by my blog today!  Please leave a message!  I love to hear from you!
