Well, hi there friends! Making holiday arrangements here but had time to slip in a card. I was showing my mom that sometimes it takes me a chunk of time to figure things out and sometimes I get and idea and set down to my table and come up with something pretty quickly. This was the latter and was made with pieces and parts I had on my desk but I added the new Spellbinders Labels Forty Eight and Spellbinders Labels Forty Eight Decorative Accents in and voila I had a card. These are star shaped dies that work well for holidays but you can bet I’ll be using them the whole year through.
I wanted lots of texture today so I backed by whole composition on top of Spellbinders Grate Effect and was tickled to see how it looks so dreamy when seen through the vellum I cut with Spellbinders Baby Buntings. Many times I reach for Spellbinders Curved Borders Two to create a piece to echo a curve – to me it creates a little bit of majesty.
I’ve made relatively few holiday cards this year, but just came cross a stash made over the years. Here’s another to add to the stash :-) They may go out this year!!

Getting ready to acknowledge our thankfulness, blessings and an abundance of food around here! Hope the coming days bring you much joy!!
This card is dreamy with the vellum. Never would have thought of that. Making a card from start to finish is satisfying but taking scraps and coming up with great ideas is so “the cats meow!” I just love to take a few papers and keep making cards til there is just small unusable pieces left. That gets a big WhooHoo outta me!
I love this card, Becca, and it warms my heart to know that you are with your mom and “JOY” fills your thoughts and minds.
Wishing you a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
Love, prayers and blessings,
Sandy

I love that arch on top. Love the gold, still struggling with myself over the minc. It looks like an angel below the bow. Beautiful card. Okay, time to see if I remember how to make yeast rolls…maybe last did 20 years ago..:) Happy Thanksgiving to you and your mom.
Just love this card – it’s so rich with the gold and pearls.
Hope you are having a good time with your mother – precious moments!

Absolutely stunning card Becca. Enjoy every special moment you have with your mom. Sending Thanksgiving wishes to you and your family from Perth, Western Australia. May your day be truly blessed.
I just love this card! It is so elegant. Did you fuzzy cut it or used a die for the stamp?
I just love your card! It’s so pretty with the gold!! And your bow, beautiful!!
I looked closer at the sentiment and thought “wait, isn’t that part of one I just bought on clearance at Michael’s?” I used the wreath on a card last week and was wondering how to use the sentiment. (I posted my card on my blog as a participant in the Online Card Classes.) Now you’ve shown me a way! Thank you!
Many blessings to you and yours this Thanksgiving!
So gorgeous!!
Such an elegant card Becca. Just love the gold and white together and all the fancy dies that you used.
Good morning Becca, another beautiful card!!! We are truly blessed with your talent!!!
God Bless you!!!
