Thankful For You

 


3 challenges inspired today's card...

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge // #AHSC645 ...A sketch challenge!!  Their sketch was the starting point for today's card.  It was perfect for playing with my new Texture Notes Die from Stampin Up.

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb262 ...A retro challenge with a theme!!  BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!...the theme for this current challenge.  By retro, they mean that they want to see stamps that are over a year old.  This "thankful for you" greeting is from a retired hostess set from Stampin Up that is over 5 years old.  Plus the teddy bear "punch out" is over 15 years old so while it is not a stamp it is VERY retro...so much so that his little ear was damaged and I had to cover it with my trio of banners.

{PIN}spirational Challenges // #324 ...A monthly Pinterest inspired challenge!!  The Pintrest photo for Septemeber has a school theme and thought this little reading teddy was perfect for the "ready for school" theme.



Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS77 ...The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have never been used...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using a new die from my Textured Notes set that I just got from Stampin Up.
