Happy Thanksgiving!

 O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His loving kindness is everlasting ~
1 Chronicles 16:34

Happy day, friends!

In just a few more days, it will be Thanksgiving ♥

We have so much to be grateful for and our blessings far outnumber our troubles.

I'm so looking forward to cooking, having the kids all home for wonderful meals,

family time, no work, and holiday decorating!

(and if I'm lucky - craft time!) :)

Today is a new Inspirations challenge from the Riley and Company Design Team -

with a theme of Thanksgiving!

This is one of the two cards I made,

and will showcase this one today, one in which we can all probably relate!

Using Retro Folks "Walter" and a new Funnybones "Thanksgiving AKA"

here is my card for today's post:

Thank you for stopping by! 

I wish you all a blessed, safe and lovely Thanksgiving holiday!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Riley and Company - New stamp release Day 3!

Hi friends! 

 Happy Veteran's Day!

Having grown up in a military family,

this day brings a special meaning to us.

I am so grateful to all the men and women that have served our country

and it's a blessing, and a privilege, to honor them today.

My son's Boy Scout troop will be in a parade today,

as well as being the Color Guard for an veterans group today -

paying it forward ♥

It's also Day 3 of the new Riley and Company Stamp release -

as you may have read in the previous posts,

 all stamps will be available this Friday, November 13th!

 

Today's card is super CAS for me!  

I decided to let the image be the focal point and just added a few

scraps of paper and enamel dots to give it some extra dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big Hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Riley and Company - New Stamp Release! :)

Good Morning, friends!!  

First, thank you SO MUCH for the sweet words on my son's card! 

He was super embarrassed, turned a few shades of red, but said "thank you to all the nice people!"

So, thank you Nice People! :)

I can't believe it's already Monday!!

This weekend was action packed and over so quickly

We spent the weekend camping in the Everglades

 with our little guy and his Boy Scout troop :)

Now, I am so not a camper!  

But seeing these young men growing and learning,

gaining such incredible life experience through these outings is truly priceless ♥

I did manage to make some cards last week ~

including two you'll see posted today since it's the 9th (the day the 3M's post)

and a brand new Riley and Company week of releases!

Stay tuned, as this new release has 17 new Funny Bones satmps

and 9 Inspiration stamps.

And funny they are!  As I was creating my cards,

I was home alone just laughing (out loud!) by myself ..

These stamps are available to purchase in the Riley and Company Store Friday, Nov. 13th!

For today's card, since it's Monday, and we've been camping allllllllll weekend

and well, I love my coffee!!!!, I thought I'd show you one of my favorites of the new release:

Without my Coffee ...

 I hope you can stop back to see my 3M card, too - 

AND, all week, the Riley and Company Inspiration Team 
will be showcasing all the wonderful new stamps!  Stay tuned! :)

And here it is :)
This image was sent to us by Jeanette this month, her turn to host!
It's a gorgeous leaf image which is a beautiful reflection of Fall!
I didn't really know how to incorporate such a striking image into a card,
and can't say I'm happy with my end result, 
but I decided to stop messing with it and "leaf" it alone :)
Thank you, Jeanette and Barb, for your friendship!

  Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
