A Note of Thanks

 Happy Thursday, peeps!  Today I get my other cataract done---I am really looking forward to having this procedure over with, LOL!  Meanwhile, I have a card to share for two challenges:  Hand Stamped Sentiments has a sketch, and Retro Rubber has a Tic-Tac-Toe board.  Here we go:

I chose the middle row across of splatter/leaves/kraft!  So here we go:

I was going through some of my DSPs and came across this splatter pattern, and I thought it would make an interesting fall card since the colors are not traditionally used for fall!  I diecut a circle and stitched leaves from Pool Party, Basic Beige and Pecan Pie, piecing everything together, then added a sentiment from the Thank You Kindly set (2008), diecut with a banner die.  A wee bit of Coastal Cabana twine was separated, then made into a bow for a little accent:

I think this is a fun, non-traditional way to use these leaves!  

I wanted to give a shout out to my friends Kathy and Michele for sending me these cute cards as I was "recovering" from my cataract surgery:

First, Kathy's:

I love the colors and the glasses!  And here's Michele's, in her own inimitable style:

I think I could probably see this one WITHOUT glasses or surgery!  Fun colors and I love all the fonts against that cute embossing!  Thanks, ladies!  I appreciate the thoughts!

And I appreciate all of your visits! Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
