Thanks a Bunch
Hello, friends! I hope you have recovered from the holiday festivities. Now that the gifts have been unwrapped and hopefully enjoyed by you, it's time to get creative to send thank you cards to the thoughtful people who sent you those wonderful gifts. Here is one of a series of cards I made using some of my Want2Scrap products.
I covered the Vintage Phone by Laurel Lane - Chipboard with some wet glue and covered it with Art Glitter glitter. I accented the doily with Nestabling Heart Circles Pink Pearl.
The sentiment is from The Craft's Meow's Stitched Sentiments set. The Red Rose Ribbon 1" was adhered to the center of the bow. The papers are by Melissa Frances.
Have a great day!

Post-Holiday Thank Yous
Before I share my project today, I just want to thank you all for your sweet comments from my last post. You guys are the best and proof why I love being part of the paper crafting community. Thank you!
I have a group of CAS Thank you cards for you today. As we leave the holidays behind us, it is always a great idea to take the time to send a thank you to those who thoughtfully sent you a gift. These cards are winter-themed thank yous. Their easy design make them easy to mass produce.
I used my Penny Black's All is Bright stamp set on two of my cards. The sentiment is from Flower Gallery. A simple little button is all the embellishment I used on all three.

This card uses the Floral Thread stamp, inked in Memento Toffee Crunch ink.
This one uses the plaid paper from the Madison pad as a background.

Happy New Year and Some Changes
Hello, friends! I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebration! I enjoyed the break and spending time with our loved ones at home. I love my Christmas gift from my hubby...a new craft room! I will share pictures soon.
I will be making a little bit of change on my blog starting today. As you probably already noticed, I haven't been blogging as often. Life has been so busy. My oldest just became a teenager and it's sad to think that we only have a few years with her at home before she pursues her dreams on her own :(. And ministry always keeps us on our toes. Because of all this, I decided to give up on some other less important aspects of life (such as publication, though I missed the excitement of receiving those acceptance emails from my favorite craft magazines) this past year. Unfortunately, blogging falls under this "less impt than life" category as well, but I love sharing my cards here and am always SO encouraged by your visits and comments that I just cannot give it up entirely :). I will just be posting less often.
I will also be sharing more non-paper crafting posts. One other thing enjoy is cooking and baking. Having moved to a little bitty town in Croatia many years ago, I have had to learn to cook from scratch and experiment with substitute ingredients. I have definitely learned to be creative in my kitchen and it has been a fun experience that I would like to share with you also, from time to time.
THANK YOU so much for your continued visits, comments and support the last 3 years I have blogged. I hope you will keep returning despite the changes I mentioned above.
Now let's get to today's card. This is for The Craft's Meow's January Sketch Challenge. I used Stitched Sentiments Two stamp set on this simple vintage card.
