Welcome to our November Calendar Girls' Blog Hop. It’s absolutely amazing when you do a Google search the interesting facts you may find. Such a find is special and unique occasions throughout the year!!! These unique holidays are our inspiration. As Neil Sedaka sang in his song "Calendar Girls" - "November, I'll give thanks that you belong to me!!"

Our hop begins today with the lovely and super talented Lynne aka Her Craftiness which may be found at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/. You can start there to see the full list of calandar days. Here are mine for November...

For November, I used the Sunburst Technique on all my cards. The Scrapbook Blessings Club's current challenge is the Sunburst Card. If you would like to play along, you can click HERE. This challenge ends midnight Nov 15 and you can enter up to three cards for a chance to win sponsored by My Creative Classroom.

13  World Kindness Day ~ Sandy
Love the colors on this card. Used the basic sunburst technique and Stampin' Up bird image and sentiment.

22  Go For a Ride Day ~ Sandy
I decided to create a card scene using pattern paper. I made the sun using the sunburst tech in the corner, embossed the clouds in white, added a bicycle stamp and pattern paper for the hill. Such a fun card to do.

28  Thanksgiving  -Eat, drink, and be thankful. ~ Sandy
For this card I used the sunburst upside down, added large brown ribbon and a tag.

29  Black Friday ~  Sandy
This is a retired image from The Stamping Chef, and I used only one pattern paper for my sunburst and put it on its side. The inside says, "having you for a friend."

29  You're Welcome Day  - Sandy
My dad did this card with me!  This is for my BIL who is in Africa. I think he did a great job with his first card creation. So this is a thank you to Dad for scrapping with me yesterday and his "Your Welcome"

***The Blog Candy being offered this month is a machine-embroidered angel which can be used as a bookmark or an early start to decorate your Christmas Tree!!!! Winner gets to chose the color of her angel from pink, white, ivory, or gold.

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
