Thanks for Everything

Hello Everyone

Today we are being highlighted internationally by the lovely Kylie Bertucci.  I love taking part in these events and seeing the wonderful array of projects from around the globe.
The top ten winners will get to be a part of an international blog hop and you can vote for your favourite here

Our theme this month is:
All Things Thanks Stamp Set (Occasions Catalogue)
I really wanted to be a part of the highlights this month however my BBB is still somewhere on the Nullabor on its way to me.  So I have substituted and used the One Big Meaning Stamp Set instead.

There is a million or more reasons to express thanks to someone, whether it be for looking after the kids, or feeding your pets while you are away, or just to say thanks for being there. 

Here is my creation today:



When I first saw the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper, I didn't really find it inviting.  After this card I have changed my mind!!!

Starting with Crumb Cake card stock as my card base, I also layered with Crumb Cake.  I selected a design of the Specialty Paper and cut it to the size of a card front, then cut it diagonally again.  I adhered this to the layer of Crumb Cake with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I took some Night of Navy Bakers Twine and followed the angle of the paper, leaving about half a centremeter and tied a bow in the top corner.

The sentiment I used is from One Big Meaning and I stamped that in Night of Navy also.

When I finished this card, I was actually quite proud of what I had achieved.  A simple design with a touch of elegance.


Did you know you can VOTE for my project????

Until next time
Bye for now
