Thanks & Giving SOTM Blog Hop...

HAPPY OCTOBER, everyone! After getting a TASTE of Fall last week, I am so ready for cooler temperatures, crisp air, leaves falling and NO MOSQUITOES...hehehehehe.

Well, you all know what October 1st means...a NEW Stamp of the Month from CTMH...and this one is all about Thanks & Giving!

To give you TONS of inspiration this month, I am joining 23 other consultants and we are going to overload your Pinterest Boards with cards, tags & layouts! The hop is one big circle so you should hop until you get back to where you started. If you're starting here, WELCOME! If this isn't your first stop, you should be coming from Vickie's Blog and if you get lost along the way, you can always see a complete list of participants {{{here}}}.

Now...let's get on to the FUN stuff! I made a layout using Boutique (I know...I'm still hooked on the soft colors even though Grateful Heart would totally go with this set!)...I added the new Watercolor Impressions (A NEW FAVORITE) to add some background color to the white base...

I used zip strips, the washi Complements and a string of Gold Sequin Ribbon for the side...

Those adorable little flowers come with the Thanks & Giving stamp set and I inked them up with SURGARPLUM ink and Charcoal as the outline image...ADORBS!!!

I just LOVE how that fringe makes this layout...it's made using our NEW Thin Cuts - Decorative Borders...you guys, the borders this come with are VERSATILE and if you HOST A PARTY, you can get this for 50% off with a qualifying party!!!

And...here is the picture I need to have printed in 4x4 format...and if you notice, I hid my journaling on the pull-out tag which was made from one of the PML cards. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago for my mom's birthday...those other two people are my siblings (in case you couldn't tell...lol)

Thanks for stopping by...I really appreciate see all your faces :0) Don't forget to leave some love and then head on over to Michelle's Blog and see what she has to share!
