Giving Thanks

(Edited to add: I think I must have seen this beautiful card by Donna before I stamped mine....they are so similar, that I must give her credit!! I believe I subconsciously had hers in my head!!!) I need to amp up my supply of Thanksgiving cards, as I do send some to family members that we don't see until Christmas. Today's SCS Clean & Simple challenge was to use white and one color......and I began my card using VANILLA and one color. Go figure. Oh well, I used the JUGS6 sketch:

and a hostess set called Holiday Best, the leaf from Autumn Days and the little text is from PTI, Text Basics I think it is. All images are stamped in Sahara Sand; cardstock is Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and Bella Bleu. A little twill and Kraft ribbon are accented with a slide from the Hodgepodge Hardware kit. I used a Nestability to cut out my image rather than the circle shown in the sample...I know, I am such a rebel! LOL!

I am still recovering from the weekend....I haven't pulled out all my projects from my bag yet. I was so overwhelmed by all we were doing that I didn't finish everything!!! So as I finish them, I'll share them. But I do have a couple things to show you, items that I made for my girlfriends before I left..... I'll be showing them along this week too. I made these little candy baskets using SU's Box #2 die cut:

(this was Tammy's--she likes ORANGE)

The cardstock is Dusty Durango; DP is all from Basic Grey; sentiments are from CHF. Inside is some yummy homemade orange & chocolate candy. It was all I could do to NOT eat this while assembling this gift!!! Here are some photos of the area around the Glasbern Inn too:

The view from the side of our porch:

The view from our patio...yes, those are goats!! And a pond!! And frost!

And the mural over the fireplace in the dining area. Just amazing! Well, thanks for visiting today....be sure to come back again tomorrow; hopefully I'll have some mojo for some new things!
