simon says... thanks/Thanksgiving

Hi friends!

As usual every Wednesday, the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog has a new challenge for ya!

This week's theme is Thanks/Thanksgiving. And the product line we all used was Hero Arts. If you have Hero Arts in your stash, we'd love to see it used, too! But it's not a requirement.

Here's my card:

I've had this SIMPLE LEAF BACKGROUND for a while now, and love how it looks using the emboss resist technique. After embossing with clear embossing powder on to their SNOW LAYERING PAPER, I generously sponged autumnal-colored inks all over. The sentiment is from Hero's THANKS A BUNCH set and stamped with CUP O' JOE ink. A few of their coordinating gemstones and a bit of corner rounding here-n-there finishes it off. :)

So now it's your turn! Upload your Thanks/Thanksgiving creation HERE before 8am the 20th, and you'll be entered in the random drawing for that amazing gift voucher to spend at Simon Says!

And head over to the challenge blog HERE to see what my amazing teamies did for this challenge as well!

Thanks for reading. I hope you and yours are doing well as we head into the holiday season.. can't believe it's almost the end of the year. Where did it all go?! :)

See you soon.....  ♥

old pub - thanksgiving table scape

Hey there! :) Since you all were so nice to say that you didn't mind me posting some of my old SNR pubs even though they're quite out of season, I thought I'd start out with this big one. It's a Thanksgiving table scape that ended up being its own feature in the mag! :D Click any pic to see it larger:



And here's each item up close. First, the candle belly band and place card...



...then the napkin ring...



...the dinner favor...



...the wine bottle tag (with room for a note to the hostess and a signature)...



...and a close up of the wine glass charm.



I'll put a general supply list down at the bottom of this post, but if there's anything more specific you'd like to know, please... just ask! :)

More soon. Thanks for stopping by today and for all of your wonderful comments! Each and every one is much appreciated. XO
