When I first saw our theme for this week’s Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge, I thought…uh oh…I don’t have any project life supplies (yet!). Well, I do have the Holiday Cheer stamp set, but knew this would be after Christmas when it posts. So…I was really excited to see one of the Sale-A-Bration items is a Mini Project Life Kit! There are some really fun images in it…I used one of the large project cards to make a card! Do you see it?

Yes! I cut out the floral wreath printed on the card with my Circle Framelit, added the Banner Blessings stamp set greeting in the center! Awesome! I can’t wait to convert some of the other Project Life cards into regular cards, too!

Here are the details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Whisper White, folded in half.
I added a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of another Project Life card with polka dots on top.
I cut a 1 1/4 x 5 1/4 piece of Pool Party cardstock and added it along the left side, on top of that is a 1/4 x 5 1/4 strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.
I stamped the Banner Blessings greeting in the center with Lost Lagoon Ink, then cut the card with my Circle Framelit and popped it up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I punched a 7/8″ Scallop Circle from Pool Party and added it to the front along with a Daffodil Delight button tied with White Bakers Twine.

Pretty cool that the Project Life cards aren’t just for scrapbooking! LOVE it! Make sure to check out what the rest of the SUO Design Team did this week on SUO Challenges!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I have many things to be grateful for…pictures of two of them are at the bottom of this post! My grandchildren and family are a blessing beyond measure! Both sets of our parents have good health and we’re able to host Thanksgiving for our family tomorrow! When I saw the Freshly Made Sketch 164 sketch for today, I knew I wanted to use the brand new Banner Blessings Photopolymer set from Stampin’ Up! It was released last week and I love all the greetings in it…they are large enough to be the focal element on the card, but small enough to be the accent, too. A great new set!

I combined Banner Blessings with Color Me Autumn Designer paper for my card:

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Cajun Craze, folded in half.
The Very Vanilla layer is 4 x 5 1/4 and placed on top.
I cut two pieces of Color Me Autumn Designer Paper (in my favorite pattern!) 1 1/2 x 4 and adhered at top and bottom of the Very Vanilla.
Two 1/4 x 4 strips of Mossy Meadow hide the seams.
I stamped Banner Blessings with Mossy Meadow ink in the center panel of Very Vanilla and used the Cajun Craze Marker to color in the letters.
I cut a small piece of Burlap Ribbon and tied Linen Thread around it with a bow, adding the Autumn Wooden Element to it.
I added Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze and Hello Honey leaves cut with the Fun Fall Framelits and embossed with the Woodgrain Folder to the Burlap Ribbon and below the greeting for accents.

OK…new photos of the grandkids. I know it has been a while! Carter is 17 months and Quinn is 6 weeks!

Very, very blessed! I wish you and yours a very Happy Thankgiving and safe travels!
