HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL, PLENTIFUL, THANKFUL Day! Let us all pause and thank God for every single thing we are thankful for. As I look around at my mother and father, my sister and brother, my children, my QT and his family...I thank God for all the LOVE that one day can hold. I will eat and think of the many people who don't have food or a place to gather with family and friends. I will say a little prayer for them today and throughout the upcoming Holiday Season.

God Bless and Thank You!!!!

These are the Christmas Cards we're doing at my 5th annual Christams Card Workshop...I can't believe it's already been 6 years since I joined CTMH!!! I'll post details once the workshop is over...

Each one of these projects were all inspired by fellow CTMH consultants. Christmas Goodie Bag that includes Candy Cane and "Five" Cinnamon Gum... Side View of the bag... Close-up of "Five" gum holder.... Back of "Five" gum holder....

Sarsaparilla Sympathy Card

It's always hard for me to do sympathy cards because I never know how to portray the right feeling. I pulled out Sarsaparilla for this one because there's something about the calmness of the Twilight and Barn Red that just "soothes" me. I hope it does the same for the recipient.

Magic Moments Shining Star

This is a card using CTMH's Magic Moments Paper Packet and Shining Star Stamp Set and is also my very 1st "sketch challenge". I'm one of those secret lurkers who checks out all the sketch challenges but never actually gets around to participating...I chose to do this challenge from Erin G because I just LOVED the rounded corner at the top.

This card is also very similar to 'Lucky Three' Originals concept from CTMH so I used it to swap at the San Antonio Regional Celebration. I was unable to go at the last minute but my DEAR sideline and upline agreed to take my swaps and bring back my goodies for me (that's a whole different story which includes a SUPER FABULOUS NEW STAMP SET!!!)

Below is the sketch of the challenge and under that is my rendition...
