Happy Thanksgiving

Hello, friends!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I'm sharing a card I made last night using a combination of stamp sets, some Moss Green Gingham Ribbon, Antique Gold Burlap String, several shades of Tim Holtz Distress Inks, and Crate Paper patterned papers as well as rust card stock and kraft card stock.  The cute pumpkins, coordinating die-cuts, and sentiment are all from Papertrey Ink.
It's so much fun combining different stamps together to achieve a fun card, and I like how these stamps came together to help me create this sweet Thanksgiving card.  If only I could create a couple dozen more Thanksgiving cards now.....I'd be set.  I haven't had a lot of motivation, or time, lately to create cards just for fun, so I really enjoyed making this one. I'm linking it up in these challenges:
Paper Sweeties Challenge - October Photo Inspiration - I used Abigail as the focal point, dressed her in her Back To School outfit, and added a Sugar Sprinkle Sequin.
Mary's Cardz TV Challenge Blog - October Anything Goes Challenge

Double D Challenge Blog - Pumpkin Time

Nichole Heady's Papertrey Ink Blog - October's Crete Along With Us Challenge - I was inspired by the sweet new Kraft Window Tubes, how Melissa used kraft to stamp her thermos, and how Nichole used kraft paper to wrap her gift project.  It made me want to pull out my kraft paper and use it until I can get my hands on the sweet new Kraft Window Tubes; and I used the super sweet PTI Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set.

Dragonfly Journeys - Challenge #76 - Fall Festival of Colors

Joy Clair Challenge - October Color Challenge - I incorporated the Burnt Orange, Cranberry and Rust (and a touch of black)
Thanks so much for visiting me, and please know that although I'm a bit behind in visiting my friends' blogs, I appreciate your comments and I will make every effort to stop by your blog to say hello and leave some love this weekend.  I hope you're all having a wonderful start to the Autumn season, and that you're enjoying making Autumn cards.  I look forward to seeing your sweet creations.

Blessings to you all,
Karen

  15. Adorable! I can tell you had fun with this. I love her paper pieced outfit and those cute pumpkins. Also, your jar of buttons caught my eye. There's never enough time for Thanksgiving cards it seems, because here comes Christmas. I make two or three if I'm lucky. Thanks for playing along in our Pumpkin Time Challenge at Double D!
