Woot-Woot – it is the BEST week of the year….the Thanksgiving Holiday! I went to Boot Camp at 5:30 a.m. this morning and I am gearing up for the feast with no regrets what so ever!
I am MERRY…MERRY…MERRY as this is a great week and time for Stampin up!
WOWZERS – a lot to cover and I am going to try to make it as short as possible……but please read everything as there is a lot to talk about today, so let's get going!
Can you smell the Brownies…..????? When I returned home this morning from working out, I was tortured by the smell of my decadent brownies…that I will be sending to Lynn L. along with the (2) retired Stamp Sets! Please email ASAP with your address as I would LOVE to get them in the mail so you get them before "Turkey Day"
I adored….absolutely adored all of the comments, tips, suggestions and advice and I think that it is pretty clear that "DON'T MESS WITH TRADITION"...here is Lynn's comment! Does this touch your heart or what…how special and WOWZERS – I needed to make a double or triple of brownies!
A huge "WAY TO GO" and I loved your comment…..thanks a bunch for popping on and sharing your Thanksgiving with all of us!
So much to cover….so little time! Monday's are my "Make it Mine" Monday and I have to be true to my schedule (or Sharon ( my die hard MMM) will not know what to do) so here you go! I "surfed" and found this sketch and I must admit….it came together in NO TIME….and I adore it! Here it is!
I need to give this special day of the week the time it deserves as I know that many of you love the Make it Mine and I equally love to see what you do! Please email me your take on this sketch if you would like!

OK – back to the card….(I told you there was so much going on!
I was pleased with this card and I think that I am showcasing another Stamp Set that is overlooked…..it is called Holiday Invitations but it can be used for sooooo many different ideas! I love the font and I think the "extra" stamps are perfect!
Let's go…..This might be in the "running" for my card to send this year….it is me – clean and crisp….very easy….and uses minimal product but carries a big punch!
I am trying to showcase products that are on the "sale" this week and there are sooooo many embossing folders that are on sale for just a mere $5.00 (REMEMBER for TODAY ONLY)!
Jeanie has always told me that these gems are the BEST bang for your buck and she is totally right!
I used my HANDS DOWN FAVORITE embossing folder, the Large Polka Dot Folder! WHY???? Polka Dots just make me smile and make me feel happy! I adore this color, Mossy Meadow and using just a bit was all that was needed!
Let's talk about the "ornaments" – the circle framelits were the star but was the real SUPER star is the Magnetic Platform and you need to STOP right now and order this gem if you do not have it as it is truly a lifesaver & timesaver….so – THANK YOU Stampin' Up! for having this in the EXTRAVAGANZA!
I love just using 2 colors as I think it makes a big impact! I have not used Very Vanilla lately and I love the way these 2 colors look together! The "ornaments" were from the "In Color" DSP paper stack and it was easy-peasy to add them behind the "ornaments"
Have you wondered where the "natural" baker twine came from…..this is from the Gold Bakers Twine but I "pulled" out the gold and just made a simple bow from the twine! Using glue dots makes it a cinch!

This is so wonderful that Stampin' Up! is doing this for us….when I say "Us" = it is even GREAT for me as I will get an additional 20% off of the price you see…..so I ask you….why not take a "test drive".

Love your MMM card! One of these days I am going to try it and surprise you! I am up early to order those emobssing folders that I don’t already own…especially at only $5 each! Now I have no excuse not to won them all! LOL
Totally love this card! You rocked that challenge. The color alone is so wonderful in my book. Love the matching envelope! So festive and merry! I like the baker’s twine sans the gold thread too. Just a wonderful clean, crisp and cheery! A very Cool Yule time card!
Oh congrats to Lynn. And, Jeanie I am so envious of the brownies! I went to make some for card club and my oven is off and most were very hard and dry. Of course, that didn’t stop Mike from eating them! I knew it was varying on the frozen pizzas but hey, this is serious stuff!
Hi Susan, I’m so far behind in my emails. This is a great card. I really like it and the sharp contrast of only two colors. I could see the original sketch as balloons with Happy Birthday stamped in them.
🙂
The card is fantastic! It is so different than I have seen. I love the colors! Great job.
Love it Susan! Wish I could just add my version to the comments section…but instead I’ll give you the link. I went with snowflakes 🙂
