Celebrate with Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know not every one of our wonderful Great Impressions fans celebrates Thanksgiving, but I'm sure no matter where we live, we all have lots to be grateful for this year.

Family.

I am most grateful this year for family.

How do you define family?

Blood relations? Closest friends? Community?

I am grateful for our Great Impressions' family & that includes YOU!

Thank you for taking the time to leave uplifting comments, for supporting Great Impressions and sharing your wonderful projects with us every month! We appreciate you.

Here's a card I made with you in mind...

I stamped Berry Sprig (D281) along the outside of the heart cut out.

It adds a layer without adding bulk to the flower embellishments.

I spritzed the flowers with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists: Tuscan Sun, Sugar Maple & Rum Punch

Bliss Mist: Whipped Honey Butter (I love those names!)

Isn't this sentiment perfect for today?

[Here's another card I made using Abundant Blessings (C384) that is NOT a Thanksgiving card.]

A couple of strips of patterned paper from the stash to finish off the inside.

Thanks for stopping by the Great Impressions Stamps blog.
Next week join us for our Holiday Hop with the Ribbon Carousel!

However you celebrate today, may it be full of friends, family & love!

Inky hugs,

Angi

Hey, Crafters! Are you making plans for Labor Day weekend? Are you planning a few days of getting inky? I know between the grilling and fishing I hope to get some time in the studio to make cards for our upcoming blog hop for the Ronald McDonald House...are YOU signed up, yet?

The stripes are painted onto watercolor paper using a waterbrush and Stampin' Up! inks.

I know I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Great Impressions Stamps has wonderful versatile images and sentiments. This sentiment is actually a Thanksgiving saying, but since I only used the first 2 lines...for now it's not!
