Thankful Thursday #52

Thursday, December 27, 2012

 

Thankful Thursdays are my opportunity to "Up My Gratitude." The goal is to make at least one card a week to thank someone. I LOVE when you play along by linking up below. 



 Today is the last Thankful Thursday! #52 has arrived. I have to say that I am proud of myself for keeping it going. It was a LOT harder that I imagined it to be. I tend to start out good and then something happens to change my focus or life happens. It wasn't always easy, especially when inspiration just wasn't there or traveling or trying to plan ahead for busy times BUT I DID IT!!! Perseverance is what it is about.

I am very thankful to YOU for visiting and for those who played along and gave much needed encouragement. ~Rhonda

Thankful Thursday #50

Thursday, December 20, 2012

 

Thankful Thursdays are my opportunity to "Up My Gratitude." The goal is to make at least one card a week to thank someone. I LOVE when you play along by linking up below. 

 My card this week is inspired by the Mojo Monday #272 sketch. I thought this would be a perfect sketch for some mailable cards. I had never inked up the snowflakes in Verve's Merry Wishes till now. I embossed them in white. They are absolutely beautiful and gave such a clear impression.

The paper is from Carta Bella's Winter Fun 6x6 pad. The blue, taupe, and red color and patterns are so pretty.

I considered just a strip of kraft paper to help with the mail-abilty but I just had to use the kraft ribbon from PTI. The sentiment from fillable frames on a tiny tag tied with twine finishes these cards.

Have a safe weekend. Don't run over anyone trying to get to a parking space. ~Rhonda

Thankful Thursdays #49

 What is your Christmas color palette? I have seen lots of red and aqua mist together. It won't work in my house but goes great into the mailbox! "Thankful" is a die from Papertrey Ink. The "4 you" is a new stamp set from MFT - gift card greetings. 

 Hoping to get some Christmas shopping done soon. One present bought means a lot more to be finished. Make sure you thank a harried store clerk this week. I'm sure they could use an extra smile.

 Thanks for stopping by friends! ~Rhonda

 I thought I would get a little ahead by making some Christmas thank you cards. I used Candy Cane Christmas to make my background paper. These would be super easy to mass produce.


 Some twine and a thank you sentiment from Star Prints were all that was needed to finish this "sweet" card.
Have you finished decorating your home for Christmas? I have two more homes to finish then I will start some shopping. I'm WAYYYY behind. ~Rhonda

Thankful Thursday #47

Talk about a quick post. Things are CRAZY here. I have now installed tree #19 with my Christmas team. We are having a blast. Do you use the old fashioned silver tinsel on your tree? We did one today and I has surprised at how beautiful it looked finished.

On to the card. I used the snowflake die and fishtail flags from MFT.  I also used glitter. I think it clumped just a little too much. Guess I will keep playing with it to master the technique!!


 Have a great week!! ~Rhonda

Thankful Thursdays are my opportunity to "Up My Gratitude." The goal is to make at least one card a week to thank someone. I LOVE when you play along by linking up below. I can't believe we have already had 46 Thursdays! Just a few more to go.   

Happy Blessed Thanksgiving to each of you!! I hope you are enjoying time with family and friends plus eating a few delicious desserts.  We are spending time with my husband's family.


 I have a simple card today. I had the background pieces left from previous cards just setting around. It always feel great to use them up! The flower is MFT's Plentiful Petals die. I LOVE this die! You can bend the petals to get lots of lift and movement. 


 The yellow frame is cut using PTI's Fabulous Frames collection. The sentiment is from PTI's Think Big #19. 

 If you made a card to thank your holiday host, I would love for you to play along. {HUG} your family and cherish the time you have together. ~Rhonda

A leafy trio is up for your viewing pleasure this week. Super simple. 


My favorite detail is adding a little Pure Poppy ink to the edges of the Canyon Clay ink on the stamp. I thinks it creates a feeling of movement.


Such a classic stamp set! ~Rhonda

I used Verve's World Card Making Day sketch once again. I turned it on its side.

I love this Verve Bountiful stamp set. The font is pretty and it has these wonderful pumpkins.


The leaf on the pumpkin reminded me of stars hence the star border die. The herringbone impression plate adds so much texture. You can see it best in the top photo.


I hope you are remembering to thank those around you. It is always fun to get happy mail.

Thanks for stopping by friends! ~Rhonda

supplies used:
stamps: Verve Bountiful Harvest

Thankful Thursday #43

I am also using this card for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge. We were to create a Clean And Simple project using Kraft. It can be a card, tag, layout, etc., as long as it's CAS. I {HEART} kraft.




Do you have lots of background stamps? I have several and never used them much. I challenged myself to figure them out. They are really nice for keeping the number of layers to a minimum which is so wonderful when it comes time to mail.

The background basics: rainbow is so pretty. PTI's new longer size is great too. Easy to line up. Someone mentioned like a puzzle piece. I agree. 

 Did you spot the crackled stamp behind the tree? The top photo shows this well.

 Can you believe we are into November?~Rhonda

supplies used:
stamps: PTI Tiny Tags, Through the Trees, Crackled, Background Basics: Rainbows
ink: PTI Dark Chocolate, Canyon Clay, Classic Kraft, Versamark
paper: PTI Dark Chocolate, Kraft, Stampers Select White
other: PTI Canyon Clay Grosgrain ribbon, Limitless layers: 2 1/4" square die collection, Simple Stripes impression plate

Thankful Thursday #42

 Feeling stripey today! The perfect way to use up paper scraps. I used the PTI Wonderful Words die for my thankful. It was easy to snip into syllables. 


I had not used my Spellbinder dies in quite a while but they were the perfect size for my scallop and circle. I wanted most of the thank to be in the circle.

 A little Mister Huey Color Mist helps the sentiment stand out.

Have a great week friends!~Rhonda

OK friends, I need help with this card! Not happy with it AT ALL. I envisioned a bulletin board hence the chicken wire background. 


 What would you do differently? I would love your suggestions. Can it be saved?

I struggle to use busy background papers but was determined to make this work. I like having upper and lower case alphabet dies. So handy!


Have a great day friends! ~Rhonda

Thankful Thursday #38

Thursday, October 4, 2012




Hi Friends! I am getting my Thankful Thursday up by the skin of my teeth. I got a head of myself last week and posted #39. I'm helping a friend with her daughter's wedding. It is outdoor and the weather is HOT! Hoping the cold front comes through a little sooner than expected. 

I used the Mojo Monday sketch #261 as my inspiration. 


I hope you are having a wonderful week. ~Rhonda
