I'm Thankful 4...

I made this layout for Scrappin' Everyday Miracles November Challenge (http://scrappingeverydaymiracles.blogspot.com/2013/11/challenge-to-be-thankful-is-to-be-truly.html). I'm Thankful 4... Lemonade Pie and being able to share recipes with her. This paper is from a set that I won from the recent SEM blog hop from Helen. It's Be Blessed Scrapbooking Signature Watercolor Collection Hearts Abound. The title letters are Jilibean Soup Chipboard Alphabeans that I received in the August Life's A Party Kit with Housecalls by: Scrappin' Madge (http://heartstringdesigns.com/). I was running out of room and decided to use the number 4. I should of started closer to the left corner but I wasn't sure how much room I would need so that's why the ellipse is going down. The lemon stickers are Sticko Sweet Treats Dimensional Stickers, the "Pucker Up" and "it's good" stickers are K&Company Emma Rose Word Embossed Stickers, the bling is from a little zip lock bag full of gems from Helen, the tag under the picture of the pie is also part of the Be Blessed Signature Watercolor Collection (SWC), the rub-on in the bottom left corner is from the same SWC, the journaling tag is K&Company Engraved Garden Journal Tags that I bought from TJ Maxx for $0.70, the twine was included in the box from Helen as was the clothes pin.

                                         a close-up of the rub-on so you can see it better, it's an entire sheet of different    spiritual wording and Scripture
this is a close-up of the journaling tag so you can see the clothes pin. I wrote- "Grandmama makes this pie in the summer. I have made it a couple times and am thankful to have recipes shared from her." I wanted to keep this layout as simple as I could so I didn't cover up the hearts on the paper. I took my time doing this layout and thought more about what I was doing instead of just throwing stickers on it! It took me almost afternoon to finish, because I was on the phone with my sister, was watching TV, and had to set my fantasy football team after a trade that was proposed last night. I hate that Washington Redskins lost tonight, but I hope Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, and Denver Broncos win! I'll post some other cards I made this week tomorrow. TFL!

I wasn't aware of the word verification prompt. That must be something new w/ Blogger. I despise it as well. Thanks for your comments & letting me know! Sher, I will e-mail u this afternoon. I'm off to work here shortly.
