Full of Gratitude & More Blog Candy!

0

ThanksgivingThis week started off with a promise to give blog candy all week and as promised I’m showing you that I am truly Grateful for You.

I love the bright Fall colors in the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper. The colors blend very well together and talk about complimenting each other.

I’m semi-colorblind and I must say, this is a stack of paper I can not go wrong with regardless of what color my brain thinks it sees. LOL

TIP: If you don’t have a particular shape, like an arrow punch… improvise! I cut out the arrow with the Burlap

This gorgeous bright beautiful card is a sketch challenge brought to you by The Creative Challenge Clubs.

 Grateful: For You and Where We Go in the Next Chapter

Thanksgiving

I found out on Monday that I will be retiring from my 25 year career in the United States Air Force. As I read the letter I had flashbacks of my first day of basic training… more to come!

As I prepare for my retirement, I’ll be revving up my demonstratorship with Stampin’ Up! and I’m hitting the gas pedal hard this week. The next three days will determine if I have to go back to getting a full-time job like so many other retirees.

Here’s how I plan on moving forward…

I Wood Like to Tell You Something

3

I wood like to tell you something… “I LOVE YOU!”  I might as well make as many Valentine cards as I possibly can to inspire you to make some yourself.  Believe me when I tell you that when you wake up tomorrow… it will be Valentine’s Day and you will be stopping at the gas station on the way home because you had no idea what to make.  Trust me, you do NOT need to be crafty or artistic to make this cute wood card.  In the next couple weeks I will be putting together a series for those who say, “I am not crafty at all!”

I quickly threw this card together by taking a 4″ x 5-1/4″ inch soft suede card stock and ran it through my Big Shot in the Woodgrain embossing folder.  I sliced an 1/2″ x 8″ ince Melon Mambo scrap I had laying around and curled the edges with my piercing tool and put some Tombow glue on the edges to keep it glued down.  Tombow works wonders!  Another two scrap pieces of Very Vanilla and three tiny button brads from the Vintage Trinkets collection finished it off.

Now, if you’d rather make digital cards… you have to check these out, they are simply A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!  Besides, in some of areas of the U.S. it’s freezing outside, so how about we daydream about love and spring?  (And if it’s not freezing where you are, then consider yourself lucky!)  Don’t miss our Officially Awesome Valentines Designer Template with its tiny, trendy valentines that fit in tiny, trendy envelopes.  Click HERE to view the new digital arrivals.  While you’re at it go ahead and click HERE to get a 30-day FREE trail of My Digital Studio.
