Happy Thanksgiving

I thought this card was fitting for this wonderful holiday, one of my favorites. I made this card for a dear friend and co-worker of mine. I was informed that evergreens don't typically change color, so it's a little unrealistic, but I think the fall colors are beautiful anyways. I used the "Beauty of Life" set from Stampin' Up! which has been retired for quite awhile and I think it's a beautiful set, and perfect for masculine cards. The image and the card front are popped up with dimensionals and then I added the twine. Oh how I love thee. The coloring was done with prismacolor pencils and blended with goo gone.

I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving spent with family and/or friends! And of course, enjoy all the FOOD! I know I will :)

Fall is probably my favorite season of the year. I crave things like pumpkin cookies, apple cider, long walks out in nature surrounded by the beauty that God created for us, open windows to allow the wonderful outdoor, fall-like smell to freshen up the house, etc. Living in Texas, fall is only here for a short period of time unfortunately. We're just now having highs in the 70's to low 80's. I'm so happy it's not in the 90's anymore! Summer in Texas is my least favorite, and it's the longest season. So, I'm going to make it a point to really enjoy the fall this year and give into my cravings!

Here's a thank you card I made recently which is now one of my favorites. I love fall colors and I also love the names of the paper I used: Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip (and Old Olive...that one does not sound quite as appetizing)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Maybe Tim and I will make it out to the Joe Pool dam today or tomorrow...gotta give into those cravings :)
