Thank you Card

Mornings here in Ohio are very chilly, 8 degrees is what the reading is on my INDOOR therometer I wouldn't dare go outside to see if it was true, but judging by the temp in my craft room I am going to say it is probably pretty spot on.

I haven't been here in a while.  It just seems with all the Holiday buzz it is hard to get in the craft room and do something I think I can share.  Sometimes I have those cards that start out as a good idea but soon it finds it's way in the black can beside my chair looking up at me and saying "what a waste of time and materials I was" but anyway, I do try to revive the thought and make it look a little better, 90% of my throw aways become a card later on.

My sister-in-laws mother passed away this week and she asked me if I would have time to make her 25 thank you cards. A tall order with Christmas Cards still unfinished and all the things going on right now, but I invited my stamping buddy Pam over and my two daughters and we mass produced this card into 25 thank you cards.  This is primitive looking for me, if you follow my blog you know I like the "busy" look and this isn't busy enough for me but I realized the more I did to the card the more time it took and we needed to get this done quickly.
I just used Gina K paper, embossed with the cuttlebug and cuttlebug folder, I used flower punches, pearls, and stampin up ink, stamps and  punches for the sentiment on the front.  It did go together quickly and it really didn't turn out bad.  This card however we found on the floor after it had been ran over by our chair rollers a few times but at least you can see how the card turned out.
