Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I made this card using the SSIC#66 challenge which was to create a card or project that shows your thankfulness to God. I have certainly been abundantly blessed in all areas of my life.  First and foremost in my salvation, my dear husband, our children (He blessed us with in His perfect time), my parents, good health, needs provided (as well as many *wants*), and this amazing hobby which has given me some wonderful friends in my computer, lol!  Some I have met and others will get to meet "in real life" soon.  More on that another day :o)  hee-hee...

Anyways...for this card I used some beautiful Layers of Color stamps.  I used the cling art stamps: Victorian Frame (which since Layers of Color is a preferred Spellbinders company it coordinates perfectly with Labels 14!) and Brick Wall, as well as Fruitful Harvest art stamp set.  The flourish is actually an art stencil: Natural Flourish.  The little acorn beside the sentiment is from Nature Walk and just perfect with the Autumn Blessings sentiment. Acorns here in North Carolina are abundant and the squirrels are going nuts getting them gathered up for the winter.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Blessings,

Exciting Announcement...

My very exciting announcement is....I am joining the Layers of Color Design Team! It was such an honor to be the Guest Designer for the month of September and I enjoyed it immensely.  I have enjoyed getting to know the DT members and LOC stampers via emails and at the SNR group...and they have been such a blessing to me.  We would love to have you join us!   Nina introduced me to Layers of Color and the SNR group via her blog back in the winter (thank you Nina!) and once I placed my first order (which was Merci Bouquet), well... I was hooked.  Just love their Clear Art Stamps and Art Stencils.  I am still pinching myself that I am actually working alongside such a talented Design Team... each DT member brings such an artistic flair to their designs that I am beyond thrilled that I get to join them.

For this card I used two different Art Stencils: Natural Flourish and Bella Brocade, as well as one of the damask images from Touch of Elegance behind the Scripture verse. 

I know that Layers of Color has some VERY exciting things coming...(first hint: a new release in a little over a week).  All in all, October is going to be a GREAT month... in fact, the new Guest Designer for October will be announced on October 6th!   Looking forward to seeing what  a certain "somebody" has been working on ;oP

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share my news...  I have a busy day of cleaning house and our oldest sons' baseball game this afternoon.  Maybe (just maybe) I can squeeze a little stamp time in...(I will just "clean" my stamp room with the door closed, wink!)

Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
