Happy Friendsgiving

This time of year just makes my heart happy.  So many wonderful thankful things everywhere.  You can't go anywhere without seeing something that speaks to be grateful and treating others with care.

I love the idea of a Friendsgiving.  We haven't been able to do one as of yet but one year I'm going to get planning and have a fun time just hanging out with everyone and laughing.

Today's Sketch~N~Scrap sketch was perfect for this "Friendsgiving" card.  I couldn't wait to use these two stamp sets and get crafting.

Such a fun sketch design by Lisa this week.  I can see candy canes, birthday candles and so much more for this sketch. I used a couple of stamp sets from Fun Stamper's Journey for this card.  I used Thankful Friends stamp set and Thankful Friends die set,  I also used Gather Together stamp set and Cozy Knit embossing folder to add a bit more "thanks" to my card! 

I used all the dimension as my "embellishment". I think if I added anymore it would be overwhelming and take away from the different elements.

I decided to add a sentiment inside the card this time.  I really love this stamp set and couldn't help myself!

Hard to believe that as I'm posting this, it snowed! Crazy!! I love the snow.  I couldn't wait to watch my doggie jump around in it in happiness this morning and she didn't disappoint.  I think she loves it as much as I do!

I found this great challenge over at The Card Concept today and couldn't wait to get crafting.  

I am loving the Martha's Pumpkins stamp set and Martha's Pumpkins die set from Fun Stamper's Journey.  Such an amazing stamp set.  I also used the Fall-o-ween paper pack and I tell you, there are some fantastic patterns in this collection.

Hello again! I finally put away my Christmas stamps and pulled out my turkeys.  I don't normally do a lot of line stamps as I feel my coloring could use a little work but this cute turkey was just calling to be used.

I used the sketch from over at Freshly Made Sketches to create my card today.  I love how this sketch leaves you able to create so many different cards.

For my card I used a white base and then cut another piece of white cardstock with a rectangle stitch die.  I then took the Color Me Fall background stamp and stamped and colored it.  I used dimensional dots to give it a bit of pop. The cute turkey and sentiment came from the Turkey Party Stamp set and I used the Turkey Party die set to cut it out.

Blessings

I love this time of year.  The leaves falling, cooler weather, the smell of camp fires.  Brings out the festive side.  I wish I had more crafting items for this time of year.  I wanted to join in on a couple of challenges today and had to search my entire stash and finally found this one stamp that I knew would work.

This is what I came up with.  The wood pieces gave me a bit of a hassle but I finally got them to stay on.   The only bad thing is that I ended up with a smudge of ink from the wood piece on my cardstock.
