Gratitude Challenge with H2H...

This week at H2H, we are challenging you to use "Gratitude" in your project.   That can be anything your little heart desires.  And...tell us why you project exudes "gratitude".

I've chosen to do a wreath using the Huntington Paper Packet.  Thanksgiving, to me, is all about being grateful for what you have.  Now...you don't have to wait 'till Thanksgiving to express your gratitude, it's just a season that it becomes more apparent...we slow down and realize what we have and why we are thankful.

Here's my project...

----------------------------------

Here's what you need...

• 12" Styrofoam wreath
• lots of leaves...I think I cut about 120 but only used about 85
• straight pins

----------------------------

Separate your leaves into piles and score down the middle of each leaf to add dimension...start pinning from the BOTTOM left so you can overlap the leaves so the pins don't show.

-----------------------------------

Here's a close-up...

Now...get your thanking caps on and show us some gratitude projects!

You can link up over at H2H...you have 'till the end of the month!

If you have the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge, you can access my CCR file {{{here}}}.  If you don't want the CCR file, the leaves are cut @ 2-1/2".

Scandavian Blog Hop...

Welcome to another month of SOTM Goodness!!!

I...CANNOT...BELIEVE...it's October already!!!!  Is it just me or does time fly faster the older you get...lol

If you've come from Teresa's Blog, you're on the right track...and you've probably already seen how CUTE and "Christmasy" this stamp set is BUUUUUUTT I'm gonna show you AGAIN...lol!

Here's what I did with it...a standard-sized card using a couple of paper packets and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge!

--------------------------------------------

I'm hoping from this picture you can see that the Colonial White Cardstock piece that has the ornament cut out from it is pop-dotted for dimension.  The ornament that is stamped is adhered directly to the card base.

---------------------------------

And...once I get my NEW Sparkle & Shine Paper Packet from the CTMH Holiday Guide, these little beauties will be used to make something I'm extra excited about!  You'll have to check back in a few days to see what it is!

You can access the CCR file here...I created the file after I cut the card so it might not be exactly like this card but it's close enough.  Cut your Colonial White Cardstock piece at 5-1/2" x 2-5/8" and line it up at the very edge and top of your mat.

Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a look at the key...

Now hop on over to Haley's Blog and check out what she's done with this stamp set...I know you're gonna love it!
