SHOPPING OUR STASH #228 - Thanks (US Thanksgiving)


Hello and welcome! This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH we are giving thanks, whether it be for the US Thanksgiving coming up or just a thank you to a friend or family member, we want to see it! Here's the card I made:


 and the inside:

I don't seem to have a stamp that says 'give thanks' so I used alpha stamps. (That's why it looks so wonky) I do have to admit that the papers I used are from a new collection I purchased last month, but everything else I used I've had for at least a year or more. ☺

I hope you get the chance to play along at Shopping Our Stash this week. We look forward to seeing your project in the gallery! Please do check out what my teammies created to inspire you and leave them some love on their blogs. Thanks for stopping in, and I hope you have a great day!

  3. ok, see, i TOTALLY thought that "give thanks" was one stamp and i was admiring the perfection of its adorably purposeful wonkiness!!! (wonkity? wonkstrosness? what's the noun of wonky????!?!) and yes, i do lOVE that leafy paper! and the leafy diecuts... and the little bit of twine or... suuuuper thinly diecut paper... that looks a bit like a wreath behind the focal? to sum up: YOWZA! ♥

  4. No this is a perfect example of how amazing clustering can work! As for the wonkiness - I think it's part of the charm of the card! Haphazardly gorgeous!

  5. This is wonderful! I love the composition of your focal grouping because it appears that you are highlighting one of the elements in your paper! The "wonky" letters are perfect and would not have the same graphic impact if they were straight! Wonderful project, beautifully composed and executed!
