Send A Smile 4 Kids August 2022: Thank You Cards - Challenge #228

 Send A Smile 4 Kids has a child oriented thank you card challenge.  I love this sentiment for kids!

The colorful paper is from a (very) old Martha Stewart pad, sentiment from Stamper's Best.  Be sure to link up your project at the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge blog!

Thank You

Attempting to join in challenges more often and get out of my creative rut.  Try Stampin' on Tuesday has a sketch challenge this week:

Carta Bella Ahoy There anchor paper, old Just Rite stamps, layered on paper embossed with waves from an even older Fiskars texture plate.

Attitude of gratitude - I have a roof over my head, food on my table, and a job to keep going.  

Words 2 Craft By Mid Challenge Reminder

This month's words of gratitude come to us from Sam Lefkowitz.

When asked if my cup is half-empty or half-full 
my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup.

I found a 12 x 12 sheet from American Crafts with small blocks with sayings.  I love these for mass producing cards.  Bonus - it coordinated nicely an Echo Park paper pad I already owned!  

You have until December 4 to join Words 2 Craft By for this gratitude challenge!!!

Fall Apples

The Shopping Our Stash challenge is "The Apple of My Eye".  

I used the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles dies for the layers.  The apple button was a bright red that I darkened with sharpies.  Sweet!

Plenty of time to play along with us at the Words 2 Craft By "Logic or Imagination" challenge!

W2CB #46 - A to B

Our new challenge at Words 2 Craft By is based upon a quote often attributed to Albert Einstein:

I was blessed with many wonderful teachers in my life, including academics, mentors, and artists.  Thank you to everyone who takes the time to nurture curiosity and imagination in young and old.
