Give thanks.

I went to my LSS last night (Paper Cottage on Fairview for those of you in the area) with my daughter and she asked me "mom, how come there's not really any Thanksgiving papers?" I told her because people really don't make Thanksgiving cards. And truth be told, from all the papers I've seen this year, it appears that more people make/send Halloween cards than they do Thanksgiving cards! That's sad. Poor Thanksgiving. It's totally the forgotten holiday and yet one that should most def be more meaningful than the one where we paint our faces and go around begging for candy - LOL

Alright, off the soapbox.....today I'm sharing a little give thanks card that I made a while back. Definitely when I was learning what my style was because man this card is so clean it's unnerving me as I look at it now. I've used some Summer Sunrise cardstock and ribbon from Papertrey Ink, some October Afternoon patterned papers, a Verve sentiment, and that cool Tsukineko ink that's got different colors on one pad that I got from Pez-A-Doodle. I think this is one of the 2 times I've used my Scor-Pal too - ha.

BUSY day today! We've got the BSU/UofI game today: go Broncos! So we'll be there freezing for a few hours. And then we are going to a big birthday party. Then tonight there's the Papertrey release party.

AND AND AND it's release day over at Digiments!
24 new Digiments for $8!!

Hope your Saturday is super!

I bet you froze your butt today! But the Broncos won and won big!

I agree, Thanksgiving really gets left out!
