Thankful for You

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I hope that your week has been a good one so far!  Looks like we are half way to the weekend, which is always a good thing!  It is inspiration week for the Taylored Expressions October Key Ingredients kit, and my post went up this morning on the Key Ingredients Blog.  If you haven't heard of Key Ingredients, it is a kit geared towards card makers, and comes with beautiful 6x6 patterned papers, matching 8.5x11 cardstock sheets, ribbons, and a package of some type of matching embellishments like brads, buttons, chipboard, etc...  You can check out the FAQ Page to answer any questions you might have, and you can Subscribe Here if you think it is a kit that you would like to get every month!!

The October kit features papers from the Crate Paper "Farmhouse" collection, which are full of rich color and beautiful patterns.  They work wonderfully for Fall or Thanksgiving themed projects, but would also work for so many other occasions.  I love it when patterned paper can serve many functions...it gives it even more value.  And in this economy...value and "bang for your buck" is a good thing!  Here is the card that I created...and the challenges that I've created it for are listed below.

I really love how this card turned out...especially because I broke out of my norm of Fall themed cards using mainly oranges, yellows and browns only.  Well, that is all I have for you right now! I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day!! ♥♥♥ 

Until later,
