My simple, although-it-took-me-significant-time-to-create-it card, featuring an I-don't-know-where-it's-from pumpkin stamp that I distress-marker-watercoloured, a MCT sentiment, EP paper and VERVE flags. (whoa...dash overload...)
Thanksgiving in Canada is Oct. 14th, and we're planning to head to visit my family (our last visit was waaaayyyy back in August. Tooo long!!) to share some time and, of course, a big turkey dinner with them. Giving Thanksgiving cards (or Halloween ones, for that matter) isn't something we've ever done, but trust me, I'm doing my best to change that!! A few fall-themed cards will be showing up here...I mean, isn't 'every' occasion a card making-and-giving occasion?? (BTW: tomorrow is Techie Day, just in case you have a special tech person who needs a reminder of how valuable they are...Two guys at work are getting wee gifts from me: they're amazing - and patient. Very!).
It's a crisp, cool, frost-on-the-windshield day...time to get ready for work. Ta dahhhh....post in just over 11 minutes...getting closer to that 10 minute mark! Have a great Wednesday!
Thanks so much for your visit; please let me know you dropped by!
Next thing you know, Carol, is that you'll be winning the TMCD!!! Lol. Card is great, love that pumpkin, stitched mat, and the fallish/harvestish papers. Hope you have a fantastic time when you all get together to celebrate Thanksgiving. Bev
ReplyDeleteI am so with you - a card under 10 minutes..hah!! I love your fall colors...the rich papers are a perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Fall card, Carol! I really love that pumpkin stamp & you've colored it beautifully. I agree--every occasion is for cardmaking in my world--LOL! I'm sure some of my card recipients wonder why I sent a card, so thank goodness for my on-line crafty friends! How neat you get to spend Thanksgiving with your family.--enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Carol, a post in 11 minutes ... I'm out of breath just reading it! Fabulous card ... rich autumnal colours and a wonderful image (with a leaf!). Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the accomplishment...a post in 11 minutes! You need an award! I don't think I could do that unless it included absolutely no photos and the words were jumbled so badly that no one could understand it! :)
