Sentimental Sundays Meets the Colour Q


Hello to everyone on this cold, wintry, November Sunday!  It is absolutely freezin' here in Alberta and that can only mean one thing...lots of time spent inside crafting and baking!  That's one of my favorite things to do in the winter - baking cookies and cakes and breads (sometimes I let my bread machine share my fun) - it makes me smile just thinking about it.  :)

So, today I've got a card for this week's Sentimental Sundays' challenge of "Thanks or Thanksgiving", with a sentiment, of course.  This week my friends south of the border are celebrating Thanksgiving which makes this a perfect theme.  I found Arielle's colour Q and fell in love with the combination.  I also want to say thanks to Arielle and her Royal Court for the colourQ Courtier recognition for my submission last week. :)

I've been drawn to these clean and simple sketches lately - must be a result of my lack of time available for crafting - and this one from the Diva Coffee Break Design Challenge fit the bill:


Stamps: Thankful Accents (Verve), Vintage Labels (SU!)  Paper: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, More Mustard, SU! DSP  Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie  Accessories: Circle Punch, 3D Flowers die (Sizzix), Rich Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Divine Swirls embossing folder

I love these little rolled flowers (the die also has a bigger flower on it) and can see myself using it a LOT!

Thanks for stopping by today - I'll be enjoying an afternoon of crafting with my monthly stamp group.  Please stop and share some love with the rest of the Sentimental Sundays Design team - they are one talented group of ladies!  See you tomorrow for a brand new Picture Perfect Creations Color Challenge - you're gonna {love} it...*wink*
