I love using the Mixed Middle Flower stamp and love to use it in such a way of using up some of my scrap patterned paper...hence stamping the flower onto several pieces of patterned paper, trimming out and adhering to a stamped background that I created using the Antique Ledger Background, then stamping over the top with the Late 1800's Background stamp. Punched more matching patterned paper and adhered along with strips of paper down one side of the stamped background. Adding twine and created a tag that I punched out of white card stock, stamping a sentiment and adding to the twine, finally, adhering this to a trimmed Kraft card.

I am most grateful for all the amazing, kind and talented people that crafting has put me in touch with. It really is a special community.
I'm also grateful for the fact that this is the first time I've really stuck with something and seen myself grow and improve at it. Normally if I'm not good at something right away I don't bother with it. This hobby has been a huge confidence booster for me.

Love your card, Joy. What am I thankful for in the crafting world? The "sisterhood" aspect for sure! I love that no matter how far flung we all are, we can connect and relate through the miracle of the internet and a love for creativity. Race, country of origin, marital status, nothing stands in the way of our sharing our work with each other. I love that there are craftier people than me who can show me how to "think outside the box", who inspire me to get more creative and who genuinely love what they do. I'm amazed every day!

I'm most thankful for the generosity I witness in this world of papercrafting...designers who are generous enough to share their knowledge, creativity and time with newbies like me, companies who are so generous to host blog hops, give-aways, and workshops, but most importantly for how I'm learning to be generous in return! Y'all set a good example you know! :) Thanks for the chance to win this adorably whimsical set Joy!!!
