A Sentimental Journey

Holiday Mini ending soon! ...

The last day to order from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog is Tuesday, January 3rd.

Don't miss your chance to get this fabulous Stampin' Up! product, such as the Hand-Penned Holidays Stamp Set (page 15) used on this card that I received from fellow demonstrator Michele Huk, a belated Sunday Swap Share (or an early one, depending on your point of view!) ...

Hand-Penned Holidays is not just for Christmas.  It also has sentiments appropriate for Valentine's Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving, too!

And don't forget the Clearance Rack Blitz which ends on Thursday, January 5th.  Shop both in my online store, or contact me at padrybala@fuse.net for personal assistance with your order.  But hurry, before time runs out!

A "Day of Gratitude" ...

The panels for this door hanging were copied from a banner class I offered last year, only for this project they were downsized.

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Give thanks ...

Here's another card from my recent afternoon of "free" stamping ...

Stamps:  The More The Merrier (Hostess)

Paper:  Cardstock - More Mustard, Sage Shadow, Really Rust, Whisper White; Designer Series Paper - Autumn Vine (Retired)

Ink:  Classic - Chocolate Chip, More Mustard; StazOn - Black

Tools & Accessories:  Aquapainters; Paper Snips; Punches - 1-3/8" Circle, Scallop Circle; Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon; Linen Thread; SNAIL; Stampin' Dimensionals

And here's the inspiration for my card from the October 2009 issue of Stampin' Up!'s monthly magazine for demonstrators, Stampin' Success ...

Stamps:  Falling Leaves

Paper: Cardstock - Whisper White; Textured Cardstock - More Mustard, Old Olive

Ink:  Classic - Chocolate Chip, Dusty Durango, More Mustard, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry

Tools & Accessories:  Stampin' Write Markers - Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry; Punches - 1/16" Circle, 1" Circle; Dusty Durango 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon; Linen Thread; SNAIL; Stampin' Dimensionals

Of course, the magazine version was made entirely with currently available product.  But since I didn't have the Falling Leaves stamp set, I opted to substitute with the give thanks acorn from The More The Merrier stamp set and the retired Autumn Vine Designer Series Paper.

Once again, with the exception of the retired product, all of the supplies used for these cards can be purchased in my online store, or e-mail me at padrybala@fuse.net for personal assistance with your order.  As always, enjoy cardmaking!

Once again, using the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog for inspiration, pictured here is a card I made to send this Thanksgiving ...

And for another point of view, here's the card I made last Thanksgiving using the same stamp set ...

And for all of you scrapbookers, here's an earlier www.stampedsentiments.com post featuring "Thoroughly Thankful" as well.

"Thoroughly Thankful" is on the list of stamp sets that are retiring so it is only available through January 18, 2009.  If you'd like to place an order for it before it's gone forever, simply contact me by e-mail at padrybala@fuse.net or visit my online store and click on the "SHOP NOW" button in the upper right corner where you'll find the retiring stamp sets grouped together under "Specials."

Happy Thanksgiving! ...

The turkey is a funny bird

His head goes wobble, wobble,

But all that he can ever say

Is gobble, gobble, gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving from www.stampedsentiments.com !

Thankful banner ...

Tonight I hosted several neighborhood women for a game of bunco.  This photo is the fall-themed table I prepared for the evening ...

 

My thanks to Patty Bennett for the instructions for the "thankful" banner.  They were easy to follow and the project was a delight to make.  There are numerous decorating possibilities with these banners, from table settings to a fireplace mantel.  I'll be making several more to send to out-of-town relatives for Thanksgiving then will move on to making one with a Christmas theme.  I'll be sure to share photo's of that one, too.
