Throwback Thursday Challenge with Emma

Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge this week is to make a thank you card the old school way. No cricut, no Gypsy. 
This set from SU called Day of Gratitude is definitely a fall set, but when I get a stamp set I always try to look for more way to use it. I want to see if it would work for an angle card.

Isn't she cute? I need to get the lighting right in my light box. The picture doesn't show how she sparkles. I used white embossing powder to do her dress and silver to do her wings. Her halo is covered in Stickles. The face is from the Peachy Keen stamp set called Winter Faces Assortment that I won from one of Emma's giveaways. I just LOVE this set. To makes this card really "Old School" I used stickers for the (U R An) that I got about 7 years ago at a Creative Memory party. Her hair is some fuzzy fibers. The words "Thank You" are stamped down at the bottom right with white ink. You can't see them but they are there.
This card is going to my in-laws' neighbor.  She has be so good to them, checking on them and bringing them meals.  I wanted to make her a special thank you card.


Here is another project I did with this set. I got the idea from LeAnne here. I just started them because I only had two mint patties. I have to get more peppermint patties and add the Happy Thanksgiving but I wanted to show you before Thursday. Yikes, is it only thee days away.

This is the stuff I love to make. Thanks for the great idea LeAnne!
Well I better run I have two Thanksgiving dinners to plan and make.

Be sure to stop by Tuesday for

Throwback Thursday Challenge with Emma

Happy Friday! I made this card today for Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge #8. I love that she has these challenges because it gets me to use my Cricut Cartridges.  I used my Gypsy to design it. I don't have a Peachy Keen stamp to fit the puppy face so I inked a nose and stamped it then I inked eyes and stamped them from the set below. I used chalk to color him and a white and black pen for detail. The Happy Birthday is kinda hard to cut out but I used Megan's cutting guide from Above Rubies Studio. It is a helpful tool. You have until tomorrow to enter Emma's challenge and she has a really great prize.

Do you see my new card holder? I was in an antique store looking for one and the sweet lady said she saw one at St Vinnie's.  So I headed right over. I only paid $3.50 for it. I am sure if it was at an antique store it would have cost a lot more. I have seen other people use them and have wanted one for about a year now. Boy was I happy when I found it still sitting right were shes told me it was. Then  I looked around and found the big stack of envelopes. I love treasure hunts when I find something useful.

I have another card to show you later today but I need to go to the grocery store before it starts raining again. So be sure to stop back.
