Searle sympathy and FMS 164

Our community is grieving over two recent deaths; a friend's father passed away and our bishop was killed by a drunk driver.  Today's card is for the bishop's wife.  I used this week's Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge 164 to create my card.

Many Thanks with PPA 228

I still needed a few thank you cards for ladies that helped me out during my surgery and recovery.  I decided that a fall themed card would be nice and used the PPA 228 sketch challenge to create my card.

Here's the thank you card:

Cardstock: More Mustard, Tangerine Tango, and Howlstooth & Scaringbone dsp

Ink: Tangerine Tango

Accessories: Big Shot, multipurpose platform, Apothecary Accents framelits, Stylish Stripes TIEF, designer buttons Sherbet, stampin dimensionals, glue dots

Several of the ingredients are retired Stampin' Up.  I'm a hoarder that will be trying to use up materials for years to come!

Christmas Stamp-A-Stack

Today was my Christmas Stamp-A-Stack (SAS).  Thankfully the weather cooperated and it only drizzled outside (no snow or sleet).  We made three fun filled cards times four for a total of twelve ready to mail Christmas cards.  My darling daughter baked chocolate peppermint and pumpkin spice cookies for snacks.
