Late Happy Thanksgiving!

As we have just finished Thanksgiving celebrations here in Canada, I want to still wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope your celebrations were as great as ours!

Here's a beautiful Stampin' Up! card to help inspire you! I wish I stamped as well as the designers they have working for them!

The gorgeous flower and leaf designs from the Day Of Gratitude set are stamped in rich autumn colours, making this card a picture perfect Thanksgiving greeting.

Tone-on-tone leaves stamped in the background on a print from our Autumn Spice Specialty Designer Series paper give it wonderfully-worn look that complements the rustic floral focal piece splendidly.

These items are available in the Holiday Mini Catalogue

Colour combo used: Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Naturals Ivory and More Mustard.

Decor Element Sample

Just thought I would share with you where I put my first Decor Elements. I wanted to put this in my stamping room but really, if you have seen my room, there is no place on the walls to put it. I figured above the door is a good spot, perfect size and I look straight at it when I am busy "creating" My boys decided I needed a letter "C" to put in front so I have ordered and received it, just haven't put it up yet. If you come by my stamp room, be sure to have a peek at it for real. Oh, and these are super easy to apply. I did have some difficulty with the "dots" however, I have since received some tips and if you plan to get these, I will share them with you. :) Stampin' Up! has also created both an instruction sheet and a video for applying these.

Love is in the air! Yes, it is Wedding season starting.

I have to attend a shower tonight so I got myself busy and made 2 cards for 2 brides to be. The first wedding is taking place this coming Friday, and the second on the 2nd weekend in April. I saw on someone else's blog recently, (i am sorry, I can't remember where as I read too many) a challenge to create a card with no cardstock layers. These are 2 that I came up with. The Wedding this Friday(also my anniversary), the colours are pink and black so I took those colours into consideration when I chose my inks. What do you think? Have you challenged yourself to stamp with only ink and a base Card? Give it a try and see what you can come up with. The second card using this challenge is not with any specific colour theme for the wedding, I didn't know what the colours are so I just used my imagination. Besides, this colour went well with the wrapping paper my daughter got and wrapped the gift in. Both these cards use the shape from "Sweet Shapes" for the base, and the
