Thank YOU!

As you celebrate Thanksgiving with loved ones, I hope that you know that I'm grateful for each and every one of my readers. I have truly enjoyed sharing my crafting passion with you the last four years.

Most of the cards I post here, I make with the intention of sharing them with you. This card I made specifically for YOU!

Aside from the Crumb Cake card base, this entire card is made from the Happiness Project Life Card Kit and Accessory Pack.

I hope that you enjoy your holiday time with whomever you have chosen to surround yourself with! Happy Thanksgiving!

December Daily

Hard to believe that December is right around the corner! I have a little stress relief however thanks to "finishing" today's project already.

This is my December Daily album.

I created it using the Cherry Cobbler 6" x 8" Project Life album and the Hello, December Project Life Card Collection. The Cherry Cobbler album is sold out, but never fear; the same album is available in Early Espresso!

I've got all of my cards put in to the pockets so now all I have to do is journal and add pictures, and I can keep track of my entire month of December 2014!

The great thing about this project is that I can move the cards around. I have a card on December 6th that says, "let it snow." If it doesn't snow that day, I can move it to a page for a date that it did snow!

Grab your Project Life goodies today and get your own December Daily started! I promise it will only take an hour of prep time, tops!

Check out SSINK today for more ideas and inspiration!

Gift Card Envelope with Tutorial

The designers at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration are sharing their favorite gift card holders today. I found the idea for this little gem on Pinterest. Would you like to make one? (Or lots for that matter, they are really quick and simple.)

To start you'll need two 4" x 12" pieces of double sided Designer Series Paper (I used All Is Calm from the Holiday Catalog), the Circles Framelits and your Big Shot.

Next, cut out four circles and fold them all in half.

The next step is the hardest part. Glue them all together so they overlap, but you can still fold the flaps over.

Put your gift card inside and then fold the flaps in like your closing up a box without tape.

I trimmed mine with the Silver 1/8" Ribbon. You could also easily add a label to the outside and write a little note inside.

Stamp Set Focus: Truly Grateful

The designers at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration are focusing on a truly wonderful stamp set for this time of year: Truly Grateful. It is available for purchase in wood-mount, clear-mount, or as a digital download. I chose to use the digital version today and use it with My Digital Studio.

• My Digital Studio
• Truly Grateful stamp brush download
• Mossy Meadow (80% opacity for solid background, 100% opacity for wood image)
• Oval Punch in Soft Suede at 41% opacity
• Wheat in Hello Honey 
• Truly Grateful in Early Espresso
• Brass Brads - top one starts at 100% opacity and then reduces 10% on each lower one.

#ssinkss15

Welcome to my feature of the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration layout sketch challenge for #ssinkss15. Here is the sketch we were tasked with:

I was inspired to use this sketch for a double layout. Click on the image for an enlarged view.

I created this using My Digital Studio and, of course, had to feature my adorable nieces. They really have grown in the last 11 months!

We'd love to have you play along with our challenge by linking up at SSINK!
