So Thankful

By
I am so thankful for the many blessings God has given me this year.  I decided to do something different... You know when you go around the Thanksgiving table, before you eat, and say what you are thankful for?  Normally, Aunt Sally who can talk your ear off, clams up and everyone gets embarrassed speaking in front of people, however they were just talking your ear off!!!  Why is it so hard for us to vocally say what we are thankful for or thank God for what he is done in our lives?

So, I decided to start a mini album this year.  I made this cute little card and everyone just wrote down what they are thankful for this past year.  It was great!  Every one participated and got to read what each other wrote.
Every year, I am going to make a new card and place it in the mini album.  I think this is a great tradition to start!

I also found a new-to-me blog courtesy of Nancy from The Nickle Nook (she is the one who got me started with faith booking!!!)   It is A-Ms Scripture Challenges and Faithbooking.  The November challenge is... wait for it... THANKFUL!  lol   Please stop by and check it out!

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

    What a fabulous idea, Sandy! I might have to do that myself! I'm so glad you're joining in the challenge along with me. I'm already excited about the next one!...Nancy :o)
    (Oh, and I'm very happy to hear that I was an encouragement to you with your Faith-Booking! Thank you!)

    Sandy, thank you so much for taking part in my challenge. Your card looks so nice and what a WONDERFUL idea. Now if we celebrated Thanksgiving here is Australia I would be asking you if you would not mind me copying you great idea.

    Bless you

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 ...
