Throughout my life my parents served as my guides, mentors, and teachers. I experienced life through their eyes with their lessons of love and thankfulness.
In my culture we did not grow up viewing the Thanksgiving holiday as a time where we sat around the table speaking out loud of what we where thankful for. It isn’t a negative experience, but now reflecting on what being thankful for really means, I am humbled to have parents who taught me the meaning of appreciation, gratefulness, and sincerity through their actions. To us, it was just a holiday and we didn’t have to go to school. LOL. I loved every minute of it.
For that, I give thanks.
I’ve had the Four Feathers stamp set and framelits since they were initially introduced (benefits of being a demo), but never used them until now. I absolutely love them because they can be used year round and not just in the Fall. Soon I’ll be making a few cards for my Air Force friends who have achieved the highest enlisted rank in the military (E-9) aka Chief Master Sergeant.
MAGGIE MADE THOUGHTS: Simple Suggestions I Use
- Use White Stazon craft ink on dark card stock to add a boldness and a masculine feel to any card.
- When in doubt just add any color ribbon to Burlap ribbon to give it dimension and texture at the same time. Genius!
- For an antique look antique brushed brads work wonders!
