AHSC604 Thanksgiving Blessings

Happy Monday, peeps! Time for a new Atlantic Hearts sketch!  I almost went literal here and made another Christmas card, but I've been making lots of them lately, so I decided I had better bulk up on some Thanksgiving cards!  Here's the sketch:


See what I mean? It's hard to get that image out of one's head! Anyway, I knew I wanted to use these wheat sheaf dies on my card, so I cut them out of Bumblebee cardstock, then went searching in my vast stash of papers for something appropriate.  Here we go:


I pulled together papers from various manufacturers and an oldie-but-goodie sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes!


It's hard to see but there are a couple of enamel dots on the floral panel and I added some Cinnamon Cider ribbon for an embellishment.  Since I had three sheaves diecut and only used two on the front, I added the third to the inside along with a Papertrey sentiment:


This sketch is a fun one and I haven't been using Very Vanilla much this season, so it was good to get it out and play with some older goodies!  You can see all the DT's submissions on Wednesday at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog, but YOU can play along now!  Thanks for visiting! 

I bought this 1000-piece puzzle at a yard sale recently:


It was a challenge, but a fun one!  And instead of having a missing piece, I had an extra piece---see it on the table over on the left?!  That was crazy!  Now I am donating it to my local library--they lend out puzzles as well as books! What a great idea!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

  1. A wonderful Thanksgiving card, LeAnne - you should have been a quilter as you do have a way of choosing patterns that go so well together!
    I love that puzzle - what a smart librarian you have!

  2. Great card! I had an extra piece in the last puzzle I did, first time ever. I get puzzles from friends and from groups where we exchange puzzles and usually it is a piece or three missing. My last one was a Mardi Gras puzzle with thousands of little details to look for.
