November Kard Swap

Our November Kard Swap theme was Thanksgiving or Fall.  I did mine using the CTMH SOTM from September S1609 Blessed Beyond Measure.  I just love the Fall colors and all the Holidays that come with it too!
I had given out all my card from our swap before I took pictures of all of them.  So you will only get to see my mine.  Sorry about that!  Things just happen so fast sometimes or maybe my brain is just working slower these days.  I know you probably know the feeling.  Well some do anyway.  LOL!

Here are the cards that I made.

Here is the stamp set I used S1609 Blessed Beyond Measure.  Every month is a different stamp set and you can only get it for that month.  If you spend $50.00 or more you can get the SOTM for only $5.00.  This stamp set also has coordinating Cricut cuts from the CTMH Artbooking cartridge Z1906 for the leaves and the pumpkin.

I sponged the Leaves with Saffron, Poppy, Goldrush and Topiary to give them that Fall color look. The pumpkin is stamped with Goldrush.

The Wheat is cut our in Desert Sand and the sash in Glacier

Card Swap Group Nov 2012 Video

Here are the cards that everyone made for our Card Swap. We meet every month and have a great time. This month was my turn to host the group. You can see all the other ones here!

Sorry for the photo but my Nikon got dropped while we were in Disneyland last week and the lens was sheered off so I have to use my long lens only. It doesn't quit hook up right either. I had to stand at the other end of the room to be able to fit all the cards in.
Not sure what to do about my camera now?????
I made a short YouTube video so you can see them all up close.

Give Thanks

This is the card that I made for our Nov. card swap group.  I am using this card in Mojo Monday Card Challenge,  Heart 2 Heart Challenge, Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.  I was inspired by the photo this week and the sketch.  We had just come back from Disneyland for Halloween.  What a great time the family had.  My Mom 92, my Son his wife, my Daughter and all 3 Grand kids, my Husband and myself.  We were 4 generation literally from 1 to 92.  I was realizing how grateful I am that we love to all be together and how close we all are.
We ate at the Rain Forest Cafe in Disneyland one night; we make it a point to go there every visit.  The kids love all the things going on with the waterfalls, lighting and thunder as well as all the animals.
You can see the Pumpkin Box here.

While we were there I heard from a very close friend that her Granddaughter was just born and had to have surgery right away. So sad for someone that small to go through all that and the family too! Little Shelby has been in our thoughts and prayers. She is doing great after her surgery.
I have so much to be Thankful for in my life. This card is just a little reflection of that.  So the Give Thanks was the perfect saying for this card.
Sorry for the long story but I just wanted to let you know how truly Thankful I am.
