Stamp Simply Black Friday

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day was a fantastic one! My family has been talking about being thankful, for the past few weeks we've randomly said, "I'm thankful for..." throughout the day. My youngest came inside this morning & said, "I am so thankful that I have shoes!" Yes, we have so many things to be thankful for.

This week's Stamp Simply challenge is in honor of Black Friday. We were to use black on our project.

Cozy Critters Birthday

I only have one more card & the 31 card challenge is over!!! Woo Hoo!!!! I know the white part looks a little plain, I was afraid that another pattern from a cuttlebug would be too many patterns. (I found out later, by good authority no less... that you can never have too many patterns! *wink* )

Snow??????


Our low tonight is supposed to be 62*... my kind of low!!! *grin* But, tomorrow about 5pm, a cold front is supposed to come through & it is going to drop to 39!!!!!! BRRRR!!!! We aren't supposed to get snow, but it will be cold! I've enjoyed our warm weather we've had & I am not ready for it to get cold. Tomorrow, the boys & I will bring my plants inside again.

I found a new challenge blog for Penny Black stamps. It is a monthly challenge & this month it is "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas." Even though I don't like the cold weather & snow, this little mouse makes me smile!

Odd Thank you

One of the new release challenges on Stamptv was to create a card & incorporate odd numbers. I had a friend call in desperation. She is in charge of thank you notes for a major fund-raiser. She is going to need 120 thank you notes. Her request was quick & easy. I paired this challenge with the Crazy 4 Challenges which was to create a square card. This is a 4 x 4 card.

I had a migraine last week that just would not go away. I'm a little behind in my challenge. This is card #26 of my 31 challenge.
