In a Christmasy Kind of Mood...

I ventured out of the house the other day in search of some holiday festivity to adorn my home. I had something very specific in mind, but as is usually the case - what exists in my mind, doesn't exist in the shops around here...

So, instead - I came home with some pretty Christmas papers and some Vintage holiday greetings (K&Company), and put together a couple of cards (and found that my skills are a little rusty!) But here are the fruits of my labors:






Now if only my photo taking skills would improve...

So Thankful

'Tis the season to Count our Blessings, and I have so many things to Give Thanks for.
We have survived another year here - hubby has managed to work two jobs, and keep his health, thanks to Heavenly grace (and modern medicine.)
I'm over coming a few of my hurdles too, mostly in confidence.

I am so Thankful for my family - each one of them is so precious, and I am so blessed!

Sharing a little Autumn card today - I missed the deadline for this one over at My Sketch World, but I'll share it anyway.

These papers are K & Company, I saw them and fell in love at first sight.
Using Lucy's sketch and some Stampinup ribbon and hardware, it was quick and simple.

Hope your life is full of Blessings, and that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!

Blunders

Here it is November, and I've been holding on to this card, which should have been displayed at My Sketch World in October.
...Just can't seem to get my head on straight these days.

Anyway, I did this one in my favorite Basic Grey papers, and used my punch from Stampinup. The rub on is Daisy D, and I added just a little black bling from Heidi Swapp.

I just love Fall - don't you?
