Thankful

Hello there users! It's time for Challenge #20 at Use It Tuesday.

Because it's almost Thanksgiving, our challenge this week is to make a project (layout, card, etc.) about "Giving Thanks". We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the Philippines (maybe we should) but I've been to a few Thanksgiving celebrations myself and it is nothing but fun and good food!

This week I put myself to the test. Instead of a layout, I made a Thank You card. I am not at all a card maker and this was really a challenge for me. Here is my attempt at card making.

I used old papers from my American Crafts stash, some old twine and almost dry Stickles. What do you think? :)

Please do join us for this challenge. I invite you to visit the Use It Tuesday blog for challenge details and to see the wonderful creations of our fabulous DT. This challenge is open to all scrapbookers and card makers.

Just a friendly reminder: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

So dig into your stash and USE IT!

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

July Kit

Back Porch Memories has 2 kits per month - the Solo Kit & the Medley Kit. I was given the Medley which contains yummies from Bazzill, Chatterbox, KI, Cosmo Cricket, Scenic Route, American Crafts and Buttons Galore. Here's the kit:


As GDT, I am required to do at least 3 layouts & 1 project.







Title: Family
Journaling: The best part of my family are my husband and son.












Title: The Best Gift
Journaling: Your Dad & I thought we'd never have you. Then in Dec 2006, imagine our joy when we found out that you were on your way. It was definitely the best gift that year.










Title: Cute As A Button
Journaling: I cannot imagine waking up one day not seeing your cute and adorable face.










Title: On The Go
Journaling: I am amazed how active you are. You move around the house grabbing everything that catches your eye. I'm sure this is only the beginning.












"Hello" Card









I so enjoyed this kit and still have more supplies left. I think I'm going to do more.

Another Card

I have a friend who is celebrating her birthday today. And I promised her just yesterday that I would make her a birthday card. Good thing I had some alone time in the house this morning so I was able to make her card. I hope this serves as the official birthday gift as well! Hahaha!

My First Card

Last year I told myself that I would make my own Christmas cards & gift tags. Of course, that didn't happen. But earlier today, I just finished my very first card for my best friend who will be celebrating her birthday in a couple of days. I'll give this to her this weekend.
