Christmas Ornament...

Here's a pretty ornament I created using the Martha Stewart Trellis punch and one of the Kaleidoscope images by JustRite Stampers. A quick and easy gift to use as a tag on a package, or attaching to a card!

Holiday Sunday - A Batty Boo...

Happy Halloween to all!! I just love this holiday, but it is safe to say that I am glad to be finished with Halloween cards for now! Did I get to create all the cards I had ideas for? No, but I can always create them next year! I made this cute little bag for the sweet lady at the post office and tucked some candy into it, and she was thrilled! I used an image called  "Batty Boo" from Deedee's Digis. My designer paper is Basic Grey's "Eerie".

 

I am the vine...

Here's a sweet card I made using "Fruit of the Vine", a digital image from Deedee's Digis. I just love the grapes and the sentiment is perfect! A great Thanksgiving card, I think!

Thankful Thoughts Blog Hop

Fall is such a marvelous time of year! God's great bounty is so very visible - in the harvest of crops that will sustain us through the coming winter, in the glorious display of leaves and foliage, and in so many other ways! It is little wonder that we find ourselves feeling thankful thoughts at this time of year particularly, though it is good to be thankful at all times.

Please join us today for the "Thankful Thoughts Blog Hop" as the Deedee's Digis Design Team shares with you some of the ways we express our thankful thoughts through papercrafting. We hope our projects will inspire you to share some thankful thoughts of your own.

Here's how the hop works:

• To participate, visit each of the participating designers' blogs to see a fun project using one of Deedee's Digis, and leave a comment on their post for a chance to win a free digi of your choice from the store. You have until 12 noon ET on Sunday to comment. Each designer will choose a winner Sunday evening, and we'll announce them on the Crafting with Deedee's Digis craft blog on Monday. Please be sure to check back then to see if you have won. 

• Below is the list of designers, but make sure you start at Crafting with Deedee's Digis and leave a comment for a chance to win a $15 credit at Deedee's Digis. Again, you have until 12 noon ET on Sunday to comment, and the winner will be announce on the craft blog.

• Finally, another reason to visit the craft blog, there's a treat/free digi for you as a token of how thankful we are for your support of Deedee's Digis, Crafting with Deedee's Digis and the design team. The freebie will only be there until Sunday evening, so be sure to snag it before then.

Here is my project for the Blog Hop! I wanted to make something different, so I searched the web for a template and found one for a hot beverage sleeve. This would be a cute gift for a tea drinker, or a secret pal! I used a new digi that will be released on Monday called "Bounteous Blessings" and it's the perfect image for Thanksgiving! I love the sentiment that comes with the image as well!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and your next stop is Deedee's Blog!!
