Time for another AAA Cards Challenge.  The theme of Game #52 is Thanks and/or Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday here in the US, bar none.  I love gathering with friends and family, sharing food and stories and having the house smell wonderful from all the cooking and baking.  It can be a hard day too for many, and I always keep that in mind with a heart full of gratitude for my many blessings.

Here is my take on the challenge:

I have a Thanksgiving themed set of images on fabric from Crafty Secrets that I have had forever.  This one is quite comical.  I cut it out and adhered it to a die cut stitched square which is popped up with foam tape on the base. There is a tiny bit of blue in the image that matches the twine, so I went for it.  I stenciled some spatters with Antique Linen DI on the base. The sentiment is an old Hero Arts wood mounted stamp.  I embossed the image in copper, though I kind of wish I used a darker hue.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  Please head over to the AAA Cards Challenge blog and see what the DT has created.  Then get your craft on, and link up your Thanks and Thanksgiving creation there.

I am linking my Enjoy Thanksgiving card to the following challenges:

Since I was digging deep into my stash for this one, I just had to send this over to Darnell Krauss's NBUS Challenge:

Thank you for your visit.  Hope it is getting springy where you are.  Still pretty cold here in the northeast.  Hope springs eternal...

This first card in THIS post is the project that I chose for inspiration for my card.  I used  Papertrey Ink's Background Basics: Circles set for the background, and Signature Greetings for the sentiment.

This is what I came up with:

I sure loved the colours of ColorQ136!  The above is a combination of CQC136 and CPS265.  A few days ago, I started to make the tri-color panel inspired by many creations by wonderful Joyce of Cards-by-the-Sea using the Piestra Tile Die from Memory Box. HERE is one of them that made me simply HAVE to have the die.  I missed the ColourQ deadline, but my panel fit perfectly with the CPS265 sketch, so I went with it and finally got my card finished.  I did not make it a tall card, as my panel was too short and I really wanted to use it.  I embossed the PTI white base with my PTI Linen & Canvas IP.  The sentiment is from PTI's "a big thank you" framed with Fillable Frames #10 stamp and die. Inks are SU Tangerine Tango and VersaFine Onyx Black.  Very simple, but I really like the way it turned out.  Thank you for your visit today!
