Thankful Beyond Measure

-
I trust you are having a great Thursday.  I'm so happy to be with you today.  Do you ever have those times when you just want to let someone know that you are thankful for them?  I know I do.  Recently a co-worker asked me if I had an extra thank you card for just such a person and I knew that I needed to make one that was extra special.  Needing room for multiple people to sign and leave a message, I decided that I would make a 5X7 card.  I grabbed some paper, some embellishments, and a few other items and went to work.  Of course any special card is made more special with 3 Girl JAM ribbon so I also grabbed some Witch's Brew and Antique White.


Now I must tell you that there is a NEW COLOR of 3 Girl JAM ribbon that will be coming soon that would have been even more perfect for this card.  I admit that I seriously considered sneaking it in here, but I behaved.  Curious?  You will all have to wait just a few more days.  Let me tell you, it will be worth the wait.

Of course a card is not made from ribbon alone so I should probably let you know some of the other things I used:
Paper Trey Ink - Vintage Cream cardstock, "Counting my blessings" die and stamp set
Basic Grey - PB&J 6X6 paper pad and "Marjolaine" woolies
Close to My Heart - Outdoor Denim ink
Want 2 Scrap - bling
Adhesives - foam and tape runners



Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

I am linking this up to the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamps - Anything Goes
CardzTV - Cute as a Button
Scrappy Mom's Stamps - Use a Flower

Such a lovely card Cheri! So classy and elegant. I am curious...what kind of foam adhesive did you use for the "thankful" die cut? Was it individual pre-cut foam or the kind you have to cut your self? I LOVE to use foam tape and add dimension to ALL my projects, however, with those intricate cuts, I really struggle. I usually use the kind on a roll. Actually, it is a huge "honkin'" roll! You would not believe it if you saw it. The roll, if it were on the floor would come up to my waist. No kidding!
Blessings,
Valerie
BTW...How is your MIL doing? I have been praying for peace and comfort as well as pain management.

Thank you ladies. Mel - thanks so much for correcting my link. Too many hours and not enough sleep can mess you up!

Val,
Mom is still with us, which is a bit of a surprise. Pain management has been a bit challenging. Thanks so much for your prayers.

As for the foam, I use rolls as well some of the time. However, I keep the little squares around. The ones I used were 1/4" ones that I cut in half. I believe they are from Recollections. Hope that helps.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the l...
