Thankful, Busy and Blessed

Greetings to all of you who are stopping by to say hello.  I've been having so much fun keeping busy with my crafting for the upcoming annual boutique at my church.  There don't seem to be enough hours in the day.  I managed to get my Thanksgiving shopping done, run a few errands, and make these two cards (along with other crafts for the boutique).  Sometimes the word "busy" is a bit under-stated.  It's bordering on hectic, but I won't complain.  It's fun.

I had so much fun with the first card I made for the challenge over at Authentique Papers that I decided to make and enter a second card.  This card follows the cute sketch provided for the challenge.  I used vintage music, Prima and Bo Bunny patterned papers, a Prima flower, DMC floss for the Xs, a Kaiser Craft rub-on and machine stitching.

I also stopped by Mojo Mondays to take a peek at their sketch today.  I was so impressed by the beautiful cards the Design Team has posted, and I knew right away that I wanted to enter this challenge as well.  You can learn all about the Mojo Monday Challenge, and see the sketch for this fun challenge by clicking on this link:

I'm using lots of Pretty Patterned Papers - that's my P word.

I hope that each of you is having a wonderful week; whether you live in the United States and might be celebrating Thanksgiving, or if you live in the UK or elsewhere, it's all about being grateful and thanking God for the blessings in our lives, our country, our homes, etc.  I am grateful for each of you, and I want you all to know that I'm so glad that God has allowed our paths to cross.  I gain so much inspiration from your blogs, all the challenges, comments, and in just getting to know you all a bit through your blogs and comments.  You are each a special blessing to me; each in your own way.  Thanks for making me smile.  I am so thankful.

Blessings to you,

Karen
