Many Thanks

As someone who's been running/managing a challenge blog for over ten year now, I am SO super grateful for all the wonderful and generous companies in our crafting community who give their support to us.  I've been on both ends of it.....on one hand, as someone in need of sponsors for our challenges at Word Art Wednesday and on the other hand; as a grateful winner at another challenge blog.  All of us who craft and blog are BLESSED in so many ways by the generous sponsors of challenges, blog hops and give-aways.  Well, this month at Mod Squad Challenge Blog, their challenges are taking the time to (literally) say THANK YOU to a few of these kind-hearted companies.
The challenge taking place right now at Mod Squad Challenge Blog is sponsored by Gina K Designs.  While I don't own any of Gina's sweet stamp sets yet, I do have some of her amazing die-cuts.  This card does not use any of her products...sorry.  But I will say this, Gina K. is a very generous woman who runs a very respectable business.  She sells high-quality products, offers excellent customer service, and she is also a sponsor at Word Art Wednesday.  She is quite a blessing to much of the crafting community.  Her mailing address is on the Mod Squad Blog so that you can send her a thank you to tell her how grateful we all are for her generous support in the blogging world.  I'll be sending her this card which I created today.
I used a three-piece die set from The Greetery for the base of my card.  I added a piece of Black & White Bold Gingham Ribbon to my card as well as one piece of black/white gingham patterned paper.  I used an older stamp set from Papertrey Ink (an oldie, but a goodie that I love to use again and again).  I stamped my pumpkins in Smoked Hickory Oxide Ink, Black Soot and Green Grass Oxide Ink.
I kept this card very simple (and flat) so that I'd be able to mail it to Gina easily.  I know she would LOVE to receive a thank you card from you; and you can play along in the fun challenge at Mod Squad where you could win a prize to Gina K Designs.  Come, play along in some FUN challenges this week.  Be sure to thank the generous sponsors, and of course give thanks to God for it ALL.

Blessings,
Karen

I'm playing along here:

Mod Squad Challenge Blog - Month of Thanks/Gina K Designs - As detailed above.

Pixie's Playground - Snippets Challenge #409 - I used a ribbon snippet AND a patterned paper snippet on this card.  I also used white scraps to stamp and die-cut my pumpkins.  Gotta use it all!!
