Hello and welcome. It’s interesting how I found this background paper. One day while on the computer a Joanne’s add showed this fabric and I thought that would be a great background paper. So, I saved the photo and printed it on white cardstock.

I just couldn’t resist another fractured Thanksgiving card. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program with some clip art leaves added. Die cut is Spellbinders classic squares. This card will go to our oldest granddaughter’s blended family.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our granddaughter’s and her family. Patterned paper and sentiment border were found online. Leaves are a small hand punch with Wink Of Stella for a little shimmer. Originally, I was going to make it a fractured card but decided I wanted the sentiment layer popped up so I matted it. Leaves are also popped up.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is another very easy one. Mr. A. Ritis seems to have taken over my fingers lately. This card is for our son-in-law’s mother. Since she’s not happy about turning 70 I refrained from making a snarky card. See, I can be nice sometimes.

Sentiment, “BEHIND YOU All Your Memories, BEFORE YOU All Your Dreams, AROUND YOU All Who Love You, WITHIN YOU All You Need.” was found on Pinterest, background paper was found online, numbers were double cut on the Silhouette then I added Clear Wink Of Stella before mounting them on Spellbinders Labels 3 die cut.

Hello and welcome. After seeing fractured cards with this shape die, I went on Amazon and ordered a no name set. Patterned paper was found online and for the sentiment I Googled vertical Thanksgiving sentiments clip art. For some reason it took me a while to get the strips to come together right. I was going to enter this in Just Us Girls challenge 702 but I was not able to upload the card.

Now I’m posting the revised version of my last card, Stacked Pumpkins. Buddy Johanna suggested some definition between the pumpkins. So, I added a gold chord between them, and she was right. Thank you Johanna.

Hello and welcome. When I started this card, my intention was to give it to my nail gal, but it didn’t turn out like I had hoped. Pumpkin stack was cut on the Silhouette. The faces, that I used yellow Stickles on, ended up a little messy but hey, it’s a Halloween card so goofy faces are acceptable. Fence was made from woodgrain paper that was run through a tree bark ef by Cuttlebug, then I lightly sponged black ink on it and cut into 1/2″ strips. The “buckle” on the hat band was hand drawn with a gold metalic pen that was gifted to me. Fence and stacked pumpkin are popped up. Background paper is a light purple with spiders and webs on it. Even though I’m not really happy with it I still might give it to her.

Hello and welcome. Oh yes, time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Image is from an online coloring page, colored with Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol. Debossed edges are from a Cuttlebug edge embossing folder. Sentiment “I was going to quit all my bad habits I really, really was. But then it occurred to me that no one likes a quitter” was found online. The hair was colored pink because my d-o-s let her granddaughter color her hair pink. Now, that is true grandmotherly love. It really doesn’t look too bad.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is just a single layer post card. Our neighbor, who shares her grandson with us, is the best bread baker ever. She bakes bread very often and graciously shares it with us. Along with the bread these past two weeks she also brought over homemade vegetable & split pea soups. So, I thought it would be nice to add a thank you with the return of her dishes. The pictures are online clip art, and I scored 1/4″ on all 4 sides.

Patterned paper and base cardstock are from Stampin Up, cream layer was in my stash. Sentiment diamond is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, sentiment was printed on the computer with clip art candles added. My first thought, while putting it together, was yuk.
