Happy Day-after-Thanksgiving Day! I am beat, but we had a lovely dinner! I have a very simple but pretty thank you card to send to my customers and I used the FMS sketch for them:
In the hustle and bustle of creating holiday cards, we sometimes forget the other pretty papers that we own! I pulled out some cheerful prints from Flowers for Every Season, and made use of some scraps:
This first one uses the sentiment from Beautiful Autumn, stamped in Poppy Parade, and a little Just Jade leaf diecut from the Christmas Cardinals dies for an accent:
This next one is a little stepped up....I wanted a narrower sentiment so as not to cover up that beautiful floral image on the DSP, so I stamped a sentiment from Ornate Thanks, punched the edges with the Banner Pick-a-Punch, and for added interest, embossed the card front with the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder:
and since I had already stamped and diecut the larger thank you, I adhered that to the inside of this card, along with the little leaf:
Thanks for popping by today!
The "kiddie" table from yesterday....this table was in my grandmother's house and I imagine that many of my cousin's fannies sat on these chairs!! Cassidy was a wee bit too big for a chair, so John put a cushion from one of our patio chairs on to a plastic milk crate and it worked like a charm:
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Pretty card. I always loved the kiddie table! I had it up until the 90's but lost it in the cellar when the street sewer backed up. The fire company had to pump it out. What a mess!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a happy day, and lovely meal with close family, LeAnne - I'd vie for a seat at that cute-kids table!
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to say thank you and use these lovely papers, too!

Those scraps of beautiful paper do make lovely cards! Great with embossing or without - it's a very pretty design! So glad you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving, and the wee ones are growing up so quickly, they're going to outgrow that table sooner than expected :) Happy Black Friday and a great weekend ahead as well :)
ReplyDeleteA bright and fun card and looks like a wonderful day of celebration!
ReplyDeleteWonderful thank you cards, the colors are so pretty! Just like a marine, Cassidy adapted and overcame ~ CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty mix of paper! And the kiddie table makes me smile!
