Thankful Leaves

Once again the week has flown by and Thanksgiving is just around the corner, holy cow! I just need to lock myself in my room for a day of stamping therapy!

Today's Friday Mashup is brought to us by the lovely Rita, and I am sad to say that this is our last Mashup with her, as she is stepping down from the design team. I wish her all the best and I've loved working with her. Make sure you come by the Friday Mashup and join us for her last challenge which is.......create a project that gives thanks, create a project with leaves OR mash it up and create a project with both of those elements. I went ahead and mashed it up. This card will get mailed out to my step mom tomorrow!

My world is all white now, covered with a blanket of snow, so for my leaves I went with some bold colors. The DSP I used...I was actually going to use the other side of it, which is all Cajun Craze, but I just happened to turn it over while working on the card and decided I liked the way this side of the DSP looked.

My inspiration for the sketch came from this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I just love the big area across the top that can be used to highlight a sentiment, an image, paper...anything! I know I'll use this sketch again and again!
  1. Make a project with "Leaves".
  2. Or Make a project saying "Thank You".
  3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Thank You project with Leaves".

  1. Love how you did the leaves Lisa. How much snow do you have up there now? Here in Minnesota we don't have any yet. (knock on wood)
