So blessed....So thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!  I won't be online tomorrow, so I thought I'd post this today. No card today, just a very quick post with a very brief list of what I'm thankful for:

My faith
My husband - he's my best friend and soulmate
My parents - they've always been there for us and still are
My siblings - I have 7 of them!
My in-laws - they are my second set of parents
My nieces and nephews - we have 21 now! 
My friends, including my online crafty friends.
All my craft supplies.  Had to throw that one in there just to get you to smile. :-)
There are many other things, but I'm keeping this short today. Afterall, I have lots to eat including turkey and of course pie! :)

Wishing you all a great holiday and hoping you are so very blessed too!

Love this stamp

Still using the new Hero Arts reindeer stamp.....isn't he cute?  :)  Also used one of Jennifer McGuire's inking techniques for the background.


Hope your week is going well!  Thanks for looking!  :)

It's a Boy!

My nephew and his wife had a baby recently so I took a break from making Christmas cards and made this baby card for little Noah. I added Glossy Accents to the monkey to make him stand out a bit.


Do you think it's colorful enough?  :)  Thanks for dropping by! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Snowman & Rudolph

I created this scene and framed it to give as a gift.  I also entered it into the Hero Arts challenge for this month. I used 10 different Hero Arts stamps on this.  Can you find them all?  :)



Thanks for all your sweet comments!

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

I picked up this Hero Arts reindeer stamp last weekend and couldn't wait to get started using it. I also used the Hero Arts tree set from last year. I've used these a lot and love this set of stamps. I used distress ink for the trees and stamped the reindeer on kraft paper before cutting him out. I turned him into Rudolph with the red gem for a nose. :)  This card looks much better in real life than in the picture, but I had a hard time getting a good pic of it.


Hope you're having a great week!  Have you started making Christmas cards yet?
