Thanks


Good Morning~
I am here with another card, boy I am on a roll.  I would love to set here today and make more but I have laundry calling my name and a clean up from the weekend, with everyone being home, it can get a little out of hand.  So I am doomed to be cleaning today!  But tomorrow will be a better day for cardmaking, I hope unless we get the ice storm and lose electric, and then I will still be here but in the dark.  :)

Today's card is a "Thanks" card.  I had this come to me this morning as I was waking up.  You all probably think I don't have anything to think about but cards...well...I do have stresses and I think I avoid them by thinking of things that make me happy.  I also thought of two others but now they are gone.......ugh :)

OK, the card.  Rich Razzleberry from SU is the base of this card along with the DP, it was not what I seen this morning when I thought it up, but I started out with what I thought I wanted then realized this paper was better...that happens to cardmakers from time to time......more often then not for me.  I used the 5 flower punch from SU for the front flowers and the buttons are also SU the green flowers behind them are from the backside of the doublesided paper so I thought I would use it.  The lattice behind the flowers is sizzix die also from SU the stamp sentiment is from SU along with the punches I used to mount it on.  Ribbon and pearls are also SU, the butterfly is the punch from Martha Stewart.  Inside I used nestibilities die for the DP oval and the off white oval is a Marvy punch.  All the green leaves are the little leaves die from SU.   I hope you understood all this.  I will be back tomorrow with a new card, I already had a thought and I have wrote it down...



 I left the inside blank so that a more personal sentiment can be added.  Sometimes you send Thank You cards and would love to let them know your personal feelings instead of a verse already added to a card.

Have a Good Monday!
