Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Here's a little pumpkin pie just for you.  I wish everyone the very best this year.  Many blessings.  Five things I am thankful for this year:  1) that I haven't gotten covid this year 2) that I was able to travel last summer even in the pandemic 3)that I have had another seizure free year 4)how wonderful my husband of 20 years is and 5)that I can craft all I want.  What a blessed luxury I have!

Never be afraid

I love this cute little girl with her warm hat on.  She comes from Unity stamps.  I added an embossed background and a lovely sentiment, "Never be afraid of change. You may lose something good, but you may gain something even better."  How perfect is that?  With the pandemic happening and going on and on for the last couple of years, I think we all should keep this sentiment in mind

Naptime

Have to share this adorable Lili of the Valley card today on Thanksgiving Break week.  Napping is definitely one of my priorities this week.  LOL, Lots of napping.  Dreams come True was just the perfect sentiment for this card.  I also added some great Turkish ribbon that I got last summer while in Istanbul.

make today awesome

Here's an adorable card using stamps from Catherine Pooler Designs.  I thought this coffee cup was just TOO cute and the saying made me laugh! "make today so AWESOME that yesterday gets jealous"  Today should be awesome as it is the beginning of Thanksgiving break which is a much needed time off.  I am using some gorgeous Turkish ribbon as an embellishment.

PSL

Here's a fun stamp from Reverse Confetti, it's a PSL (pumpkin spice latte) kind of day.  It's just perfect for Autumn.  I also added some great Turkish Lace to go with it.  Must confess that I haven't had any PSL this year.  I have been on a pretty strict diet lately.  Well, I guess not strict, I can have a PSL if I want one, but my calorie count is low, so I refrain from that.

Sweet as Maple Syrup

Here's the cutest little beaver that i turned into a fall theme card by using a brown background and some leaf embellishments.  I added the sentiment "You're as sweet as maple syrup."  How fun is that?  This cute set comes from Avery Elle.  Hope you all have a sweet day!

Sharing this hilarious card I made using an image and sentiment from Stamping Bella's Oddball line.  I do love those stamps.  TOO FUNNY.  It says"Live like someone left the gate open!"  The background of the card says "Hay there"  I also added some gorgeous Turkish lace to the card.

This is the cutest panda card from a set by Simple Stories.  I do love their card making kits that create a total of 8 cards per set.  They are super cute and fun to make.  I got this cute love theme set to make cards for the DH.  Check them out at online card stores or Amazon.

What if

Here's an amazing image from Unity stamps and a very heartfelt sentiment, "What if it turns out way better then you could have imagined? If just may...ACTUALLY it most likely will."  Speaking of Thankfulness and Blessings yesterday, this card is a very suitable follow up.

Blessed

Now that we are in November, let us have a few Thanksgiving moments and realize how very Blessed we are.  I know I am especially thankful for an amazing brain surgery that turned around my life in 2010.  Amazing.  What a gift from God.  So many other things I am thankful for as well, but that one is top of the list.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Merve in Istanbul!  Hostess to my home away from home.  I hope I get good news soon (in December) that I will be traveling to Istanbul this coming summer, please keep your calendar open for me.  Hugs and Happy Birthday!

Of course I had to make a cat card for Merve.  What was so surprising the last visit was that her cat sat down with me on the first day that I arrived.  Usually that cat is not so friendly with the guests, or so I hear.  For her cat to come right up to me was quite unusual.

Guest Designer Karin

 Here's a gorgeous Christmas theme card from Karin of KarinsArtScrap blog.  She's using one of the sentiment stamps that she won from me last year.  I just love her beautiful cards.  Be sure and check out her blog: https://karinsartscrap.blogspot.com/

SHINE

 Here's the cutest Honey Bee coffee/tea theme image to go with some totally gorgeous turkish ribbon that is embroidered.  I just love it.  I topped it off with some yummy looking sticker cupcakes.  The card says, "if you're going to rise, you might as well SHINE"  How perfect is that?  Can you believe are almost at the end of the first week of November?!?!  Where has the time gone?

I added some gorgeous yellow turkish lace.  So pretty.  Have a wonderful day.
