Hello everyone!
I was so excited when I was asked to be a part of this amazing blog hop today, hosted by Simon Says Stamp. It's all about gratitude, and along with sharing what we are grateful for, each crafter on the hop has designed some yummy cards with a gratitude theme. Fun right?
What are you thankful for? Personally, I couldn't be more grateful this year. I have been blessed with the most wonderful little daughter who brings me happiness beyond measure every day.
So... I have created two gratitude themed cards for the hop today. First up, a floral friendship card featuring a gorgeous flower from Simon Says' Always and Forever set and a sentiment from their elegant Handwritten Sentiments set. The papers are from My Mind's Eye's Lucky in Love 6 x 6 pad. I had some fun cutting out those tiny dots in the centre of the flower. ;)

And second, a VERY pink and sparkly Thank You card, featuring a stamp from the You Can Do Anything set. I stamped it in Neon Pink ink, adding little silver gems to the centre of each star. The pink paper is also from MME's Lucky in Love pad. And that yummy ribbon, it's HERE.
And on to the exciting part! I will be giving away a $50 donation to the charity of a commenter's choice. Just leave a comment saying what you are most grateful for and you will be entered in the drawing. After the winner is chosen Simon Says Stamp will be in touch with you to find out the charity you have chosen. We will draw winners on Wednesday 11/28.

That flower is stunning Lucy! I'm now wondering how long it took you to cut the tiny centre dots out! It was worth it though. Love the neon and bling on your pink card too :)
ReplyDeleteLucy hi,

ReplyDeleteLove the cards and I admire you for your patience cutting out those dots LOL. My husband and I have so much to be thankful for. With my translation work all year round and my husband's (Dutch) pension, we don't have to scrape by like many ordinary Greeks and friends from other nationalities around us. I can even afford to hop over to Simon Says Stamp to check out the special offers...

ReplyDeleteYour cards are clean lined, colorful And beautiful. The transmission went out on my vehicle this Saturday. I didn't know what we were going to do. Its older and found out it was just going to be just too costly too fix. My hubby was going to have to work 6 days this week so we weren't going to be able to get anything else and I was afraid I was going to have to quit my new job. I'M thankful for my husbands boss that let him off work yesterday. I'm thankful for the car dealer that got us approved for a loan (even though we have bad credit) and with a payment we can afford. I'm thankful for my husband for picking out the perfect vehicle for me...even though I was at work. I'm thankful that my problems are small compared to a neighbor who has to remodel her house because the floors are giving out...has no insulation...handicapped child...and a vehicle that can only be driven a few minutes and then has to cool down for hours before it can be driven again. I'm grateful for Good who gives us 2nd 3rd and 4th chances...happy Thanksgiving everyone!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my faith and family and friends and all the many blessings I have been graced with! God bless!
ReplyDeleteCute cards!
Lovely cards, I especially like the blue one. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I am so grateful for the people who have touched my life and made it richer.
ReplyDeleteSo PRETTY Lucy!! I especially like the Pink One as you do Pink so Well.....xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I am most thankful that God loved us enough to make a way for us to be His forever, in spite of our failures, giving freely of His mercy & grace!!
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for a wonderful husband, a happy family and a new job that starts on Monday. I'd love the chance to give a donation from Simon Says to my favorite charity, the Relay for Life. We hold two crops each year to raise money for the Relay.
ReplyDeleteI'm always grateful for family and friends. Your cards are terrific.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for participating in the blog hop. I have so much I am grateful for, but most importantly, my friends, my family, my job and my home. Blessings to all.

ReplyDeletequintessential lucy :) I am grateful for my son who puts life in perspective for me every day :)

Thank God for letting nice people cross my path of life. I am still learning to cherish and appreciate every single person and actions that they have done. (:

I'm grateful for the love and good health of my family and friends! This is the time of year when I feel it the most and have the most fun creating, visiting and sharing with them! Thanks so much for your generosity!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the flower in blue, I'm thankful for inspiring crafters like you :)
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! I'm not a 'pink' girl but I love your pink card. I'm vary grateful for my family and for a Mission trip to Honduras that I made this year. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteBlessed for such talented crafters who love to teach. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that no matter how bad things get, God cares! Last night we hit a deer. I told DH we can be thankful the airbags didn't deploy. The damage to the grill and bumper were enough.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are adorable. The bling on the pink one just adds to the neon pink!
Beautiful cards...love the repeated sentiment on the pink card.
ReplyDeletegorgeous cards. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI am most thankful for the patience & resolve my husband has shown this last year. Earlier in the year he experienced a work related injury, injuring his back. Surgery was unsuccessful and he has suffered daily ever since. Still, he doesn't let it get to him. He takes it all in stride, hoping & praying for pain free days. Not sure I could be as strong as him with all that he’s been through. I’m thankful for my strong man.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago there were big floods in our country and many people lost everything they had, so in that moments you learn to cherish every little thing you have, because you know there are so many in need out there. So I’m thankful for everyone that helped those who were affected by the disasters, it gave me hope that we can still find unity in these hard times.
ReplyDeleteNice cards !!
ReplyDeleteutterly gorgeous eye candy and love the pink, I am so blessed to have so many blogging friends and a wonderfully supportive husband
ReplyDeleteHugs Kate xx
What a gorgeous pink card. Love the paper and ribbon.
