Thanksgiving!

Ummmm can someone please tell me where on earth the first couple of weeks in November went?!?!  I can't believe November is almost over and Thanksgiving is almost upon us :)  I have so much to be thankful for this year and every year!  I just wished I'd remember to be more thankful each and every day :)  But alas it is time for Thanksgiving cards to be sent!  I finished up a bunch of them and decided that I of course had to show you them!  I promise this is likely the last time this year you will see this same stamp---but seriously it's so stinkin' cute I just can bear to put it away just yet!  So maybe one more before Thanksgiving is actually upon us! 

Thank you for being great blog friends :) Cheesy yep... but oh well!

FCCB-- Harvest Blessings Crawl

Welcome to Sarah's Stamping and Stuff and the Fantabulous Cricut Harvest Blessings Crawl...Fantabulous Cricut's version of a blog hop!

It's Fall and everyone at Fantabulous Cricut has decided to create projects to give thanks for our Harvest Blessings!   Each Design Team member will be featuring an original Fall project that includes Brown, Orange and Red – along with at least one Cricut cut.

If you've come from visiting Sabrina you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl start here.

Make sure to checkout each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "HarvestBlessings" project at FCCB!

My tag!  Created using paper from a Recollections stack-- love this stack!  Solid paper is from SU!

The cricut cut is from the Celebrate with Flourish cart--I did cut off a piece of it because it just didn't look right!  The sentiment is from DeNami Designs--love their little chickie stamps :)  And this tag is perfect to hang over a big bag of chocolate!!! 

Now it's your turn! Let's see your Harvest Blessings project!  Make sure to include a Cricut cut somewhere on your project and be sure to use the colors Brown, Orange and Red as well!

Your next stop is Sherrie!  Go and see what she has in store for you today. And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!

Happy Crawling!

Give Thanks!

I figured it was time to give myself a little break from the Halloween scene and work on some Thanksgiving cards.  I found this adorable stamp at the Stampin' and Scrappin' Expo awhile back and I love it!  It was super easy to color in with my markers and of course I had to add a little glitter to just about everything :)  Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Chickie!

So over the last few days I've noticed I lost some blog posts :( UGH!  How frustrating when things don't work like you want them too!  I pre-did some posts as I knew I'd be away from my computer for a bit--but alas they are likely somewhere out in cyber-space.  Oh well! 

Over the weekend I went to the "Stampin' and Scrapping Expo" in St. Paul, MN-- it was a pretty good time.  If you've been you know that in the past it's been better-- as it has now combined with the "Women's Expo" hmmmm I loved when the building was filled strictly with crafts versus other "womanly" type things... hmmm but alas it was a great time.  I did pick up a few new goodies and decided I had to use a couple of my stamps right away.  I was intrigued by the cute stamps available from DeNami Designs so I picked up a couple and created this card.  They are actually having a challenge over at their blog and the challenge is to use "Patterned Paper."  This is what I came up with...I'm not 100% sold but I do like it...I just don't love it!  I hope you enjoy!
