Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop -- November Edition

Well, here we are: November. Hard to believe that the trees are almost entirely barren of their color where such a short time ago they were still green! And snow is in the forecast again for the weekend!

And we are once again nearing the time when we commemorate all the things that we are thankful for. Sure, it's much easier to gripe about this, that or the other thing but it truly takes a grateful heart to realize how truly blessed we are in a country such as ours!

And what am I most grateful for? My Faith, my Family and my Friends!


So, in the spirit of thanksgiving, the ladies from the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad have gathered together to bring you things that are “Thankfulness” inspired!


Here are this month's Blog Hop Participants:
  1. Shellie G. of Creative Electica
  2. Annie L. of Love Me Cards
  3. Pam S. of Stampin' in the Sun!
  4. Nancy B. of Lady Stamps-A-Lot (You are here)
  5. Tonya B. of Stampin' with Tonya
  6. Dawn S. of Dawn's Creative Chalet
  7. Patricia T. of Sunnyone Stampin'
  8. Pamela W. of Stinky Tofu
  9. Darcy J. of DJ's Stampin' Place
  10. Kim R. of Stamping with Kim
  11. Nancy B of Momma B Stampin'
  12. Terry B of Goin' Over the Edge

These are the projects I have to share with you today:


I thought this card would be perfect for sharing with your Thanksgiving hosts or just someone who needs to know how much you care for them. I love the little added touch that the button gives! And that jar? Who doesn't LOVE a cute mason jar! 



Now for this months hop we were also given the challenge to come up with a little "something special" that we might give as a Thank You to one of our hostesses at an upcoming Workshop or Private Class. 



I thought this simple box would be perfect for them to store the cards they made during that class!
