Here's the rest of the cards that I made. Altogether I made and sent twenty cards. This group of cards are all made out of die cut leaves. Maple leaves from Seasonal Layers, leaves from Nature's Roots and trees from In The Woods make perfect Thanksgiving elements and they work nicely on a variety of embossed backgrounds.
The Happy in the feature card is from Word Wishes dies. The rest...
This year hub and I have so much to be thankful for! We have been able to enjoy the last three years living on the road, slow traveling the US. This is not to say that we haven't had some extreme challenges like having our home destroyed in Texas two winters ago. We are blessed with a supportive family and great friends, which we have to enjoy the company of remotely. I wish you the best today...
I can't believe how fast the time flies! I have a few last Thanksgiving cards to share. I made these while visiting my mom. We enjoy crafting and catching up on life. They live far enough out of the way that I visit for a couple of nights at a time. One night doesn't give us enough dedicated time because of the commute.
I recently purchased the Winter Woods stamps and dies. I sure to...

We've been hanging out in the Pacific Northwest since the end of May. At first we planned to spend the winter on the coast staying at the various Thousand Trails that span from Washington down to Oregon. Then our new to us brown truck was discovered to have contaminated fuel so CarMax graciously took it back after...
This month's Paper Pumpkin kit coordinates with last months kit. I create six alternatives using some of last month's kit supplies and walk through all fourteen alternatives that span both months.
The volume of supplies provided between both kits allows for 30 or so very fancy cards, or 50 casual holiday cards.
I love how this came out! This card uses two pieces of cut dsp from our 6 x 6 one sheet wonder. I used them to create the long vertical strip that is joined by the stitched oval.
The leaves were colored using Blends markers, light and dark Old Olive with light Pumpkin Pie. I pre-colored by placing the small maple leaf die over the top of Whisper White cardstock and filled the area in, ...
It is hard to believe that we are now in November! My husband and I are staying in the Pacific Northwest this winter, we plan to stay on the coast through April. We hope to experience stormy weather!
I hope you are ready to be inspired today because I have joined a talented team of global demonstrators for this month's Stampin' Dreams blog hop. You may have hopped here from Narelle's...
It feels so strange to be in my home area (The Pacific Northwest) in the fall. We've spent the last three years down south to avoid the cold wet weather. This year we are waiting for our new truck to be delivered (We live in a 32ft fifth wheel so this is our tow vehicle). After trying out a couple of newer used trucks, we ultimately decided to go with exactly what we want. This process took us...
After Libby and I struggled to get through our first one sheet wonder cards at a previous crafting day, Libby tossed out a second cut sheet and DSP/Stamp set for us to work on. This time we could work on it as our time allowed. Boy oh boy did I struggle. I guess for me, I work from the focal down, not from the background up. To help me overcome this challenge, I cut some Whisper White stitched...
Libby and I decided we HAD to use our DSP at our last crafting session. We just bought a large chunk during the Annual Catalog buy 3 get 1 free sale, and then of course the Holiday catalog had more DSP for the holidays. So we stuck to our guns and used DSP for all of our projects. This was one of our easier projects. The inspiration was this pin ->...
