~Give Thanks~

Hello Friends!!! I hope all have the nice weather we have here in Virginia and are enjoying it. I know I am trying to get a lot of the outside work done before the temperatures dip in the 40's and 30's next week. Yuck!!

Anywho...I am here to share a Fall Thanksgiving card. For my creation I used the Apple Wreath image from Our Daily Bread Designs . I colored 2 of the same image with copics and then cut some of the apples and leaves to layer. I also added some Foliage using the Martha Stewart Foliage Punch. The image is cut with the scalloped circles die from Spellbinders and placed on dimensionals on a background cut out with Labels One and Fancy Labels One. The background is scored.

I just love Thanksgiving. So often we often to thank God for all He has blessed us with. Yes, many of us have tough times but we get through them and they can always be worse. Through the tough times I feel His presence and for that I am thankful. I thank God for good health, freedom in the USA, a loving husband and family, our new home, salvation....and the list goes on.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you are somehow inspired by my creation!! I greatly appreciate all your sweet comments!!

Have a blessed Day!!!

hugs and blessings,
