thankful




Thankful for this new day~




Thankful for a fresh start~


Thankful for being able to post that I'm thankful~










 I took another try at The Play Date Cafe PDCC #155.






This time, I broke out my Stampendous Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel.


I drew "stitches" across the sentiment die with an embossing pen and sprinkled that magical powder and heated.


I then inked up the cardbase with my damaged Versamark pad 


(read the sidebar about that oopsies...#5 on my list of YOU KNOW WHEN).


I can't bring myself to throw that old Versamark pad away...it was one of my first cardmaker investments!




I am also entering this in the

What an ingenious way to use a square punch, Marlena! I like that! I also like your 'thankful' post. I am feeling thankful today, as well, for my family escaped the Hurricane without any problems. It saddens me though to see what many, many others have gone through. It's just so devastating.
