How about a favor for the Thanksgiving dinner table? Verve has the cutest turkey that I used to decorate my pillowbox. Hey Julee, sure wish there was a die for this little fellow.
I also made a card using the little turkey. I think the peek-a-boo chevron is a fun addition to the card. The sentiment is made with the double-ended banner die. After I die cut the shape I put it back in the die the opposite direction to get the pointed end.
Here is a look at both projects. I just need to make a few more and my Thanksgiving table would be complete.
I can't decide what to put inside my pillowbox. Any suggestions? ~Rhonda

Tis the season to begin some tags or it won't happen. These were simple to make. I stamped Tag Sale #7 with the background stamp first. If you have background stamps you need to be using them. It is amazing how make interest they add to a project.
The top snowflake I spritzed with Mister Huey's Shine. I love the added sparkle. I have been using my sewing machine a little more as well. It is really nice when you are making several of the same item.
Thanks for stopping by! ~Rhonda

the MOST valuable thing that anyone can spend! I love this sentiment. It is a great reminder. A quick card using PTI's Hands of Time.
You can hardly go wrong when you are stamping lots of grungy effects. I think the key is to keep layering the colors and stamps. I think sometimes I "quit" to quick.
I hope you are enjoying sweater weather in your part of the world. ~Rhonda

I went a little crazy playing with re-inkers, distress inks, etc and created a pretty paper that I turned into tags for autumn.
The 1st tag is the gratitude tag. I die cut the apple several times from cereal box cardboard and then went to town with the glitter. I hope you can see the background stamping near the bottom of the tag. LOVE it!
The 2nd tag is the leaf. I used the chicken wire stencil across the bottom. Modeling paste is really easy to use and dries quickly. You need to give it a try.
Have a great week! ~Rhonda
