Thankful

Family...savor these moments...thankful!
And, the gorgeous photo inspiration for the The Shabby Tea Room!


Hi Friends!

It's a lovely fall crisp day here!  Many leaves have fallen off the trees.  It's one of my favorite times of the year.  It's nearly Thanksgiving, so time to make some cards for the special holiday.  And, to join with family and be thankful for all our blessings!

I couldn't resist the inspiration over at the Shabby Tea Room, so lovely!  I love texture and dimension, so I distressed the edges of Coredinations paper.  I had some felt leaves and backstitched with floss for interest.  The family sentiment was printed out using Cambria font.  Cardboard was added to the focal panel and distressed with tea dye and marmalade ink.  I added lace, ribbon, gems, and a button to the remainder of the card.  I certainly hope you are enjoying your day.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Take care and hugs!!:-))
