Autumn

For this card, I combined Unscripted 27 and Penny's Challenge. The funny thing is when I saw "autumn theme" for Penny's challenge I stopped reading...I was happy because autumn is my favorite time of year...and didn't noticed that it said "must include a tree." LOL In case you can't tell, the tree on the inside was an after thought. I've included a couple of haikus I quickly jotted down about my favorite time of year. Once again, thanks for stopping by - I appreciate you!

My Season
Autumn watlzes in,
dancing to the music of
anticipation.


Autumn
Changing, letting go,
an expectant synonym.
Death brings me new life.


Hoping you are enjoying this wonderful season,
Marie with a :-)

THANKSGIVING

I created a few more Thanksgiving Day cards. This first one uses the The Sweet Shop Sketch and includes a Sweet -n -Sassy scripture on the inside. If you are looking for scripture stamps, check them out! I also think this card fits the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge #7 because I think changing leaves and fall foliage SHOUT the majesty of God. The following two use the Mojo Monday Sketch which I had a very difficult time with!



The last four were quick cards using scraps.







Hope you are taking time to dwell on those things that you are thankful for...sure makes for a happy heart!

CPS 136

I thought it might be a good idea to have some Thanksgiving Day cards on hand when I have my card sale in a little over a week...so I used the CPS 136 sketch to whip up these three cards:





As I was making these, I was "counting my blessings" and realized that I could go on and on and on...here's a few that came to mind (in no particular order)
1. Gorgeous Colorado weather
2. Start of GraceLife Advanced Training
3. A wonderful husband
4. Laughter
5. Friendships
6. Taste buds!
7. Being able to be an "at home" mom.
8. A craft room!
9. Crocs
10. The knowledge that my Creator and Savior is always in control :-)
Hope your weekend has been filled with blessings too numerous to count!
Marie with a :-)
