Dark and Dreary Day

Well today was one of those dark and rainy days where I woke up feeling sick and didn't feel like doing a thing. It didn't help that Easton has been sick for a few days and wanted me to snuggle with me. Not that I was opposed to that at all! :) Finally around 1:00 I decided if I wasn't going to be productive around the house, I might as well be productive in my stamping studio and I managed to do two cards in not very much time at all!  The first I have to share is a fall card. I used the color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary  and the Paper Players challenge.

I thought this would be a good time to make a thanksgiving card to show someone my appreciation for them!
I went to my cardstock files to see what I had (I am running low because all of the new Stampin' Up! goodies seem to pushing cardstock to the bottom of my list!) and I found this perfectly embossed Always Artichoke scrap!  I die cut it with the Label Framelit and then stamped a variety of "thanks" inside in Tangerine Tango and Always Artichoke. I finished it off with a fussy cut leaf from Gently Falling.

Stamp Sets: Itty Bitty Banners, Gently Falling, Oh Hello, Fabulous Phrases, Gifts of Kindness
Cardstock: Always Artichoke, Sahara Sand
Ink: Always Artichoke, Tangerine Tango
Tools: Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Label Framelits
Accessories: Dimensionals
