Warm Thanksgiving wishes to all my US friends from a very chilly Oregon! So grateful we don't have freezing rain and no snow or crowds to deal with since we're staying home. Not a lot of choice since I worked yesterday & will again tomorrow. It's a perfect day to show this card I made & mailed as I am so thankful for all of you. I love Jennifer McGuire's faux textured metal paper--gorgeous shimmer in person & simple to do. The die cut is Impression Obsession & the embossing folder is Cuttlebug Anna Griffin. So lucky I won the Dew Drops at The Playground & I'll enter my card there as well as Dies R Us & SSS Monday. Edited to add: Also entering SSS Wed.
Got a happy surprise this week when I received a copy of Take Ten because they published my card! Thanks, Rosemary, for always encouraging me to submit. If you check out the issue you'll see Rosemary's beautiful work & here's my card using Brilliance inks, PTI stamps, MFT stencil, Sizzix die & Cuttlebug Anna Griffin embossing folder.
One more thing--I received this stamp set as part of a prize & I'd like to send it to someone who can use it. I'll pay the postage. Just use Contact Me in the right side bar to let me know you're interested. I'm behind on my blog reading, but I'll catch up as soon as I can. Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit my blog.
Not much time to make cards this week since I'm getting ready for my sister & her hubby to visit. This one was shared on Flickr & thought I'd add it here as it ties in with 2 new blog badges: Published in Stampers' Sampler & I Design for a2z Scrapbooking! I submitted the card for last year's issue so was happily shocked to come home from work one day & find a copy of the magazine waiting for me. The ink is Encore Metallic Champagne--not gold & not silver--one of my favorites.
All the stamps are Hero Arts which is how it ties in to the newest badge--my second DT! The Etsy shop, a2z Scrapbooking, is a premier Hero Arts retailer. They carry lots of HA products & welcome special orders. You'll find a project by me on the blog twice a month starting Nov. 7th. Check out the store & use the code GRETA15 to get 15% off a $25 minimum purchase. So glad you took time to visit my blog.
