Joyful Song

This card is for the monthly swap that Pam hosts on SCS.  Each month we make 10 cards and include a matching envelope.  They can be any theme for any month.  All of the swappers are wonderful and I have received awesome cards each and every month.  

I inked up one of my newer Christmas set from The Project Bin, called Joyful Song.  I love this set with three great musical sentiments!  I think everyone can use Christmas Cards any month, even in the middle of summer!

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope Pam and the others swappers like my card this month!

Dueling Darlings Give Thanks

It is the 15^th of the month and that means we get to show off a new Dueling Darlings challenge. For the November Challenge, Carol and Shelley decided on the theme.  Shelley is one of the Darlings and I am a part of the Diva team, which Carol is on!

This theme this month is: "Give Thanks".  Carol wrote the following:  We were thinking of going Thanksgiving, but thought "give thanks" would/could incorporate Thanksgiving or just be a thank you card.  Either way, we thought fall colors would be a nice touch.  With the Holiday Season upon us, we reflect upon all that we have to be thankful for;  so as an extra, we would like you to share what you are especially thankful for. 

I am thankful for all of my family and friends who are so special to me.  I am also very thankful for my health.  As I get older, I am so blessed to be healthy and I try hard every day to maintain!

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope all of the Darlings enjoy my card.

Hello Hyacinth

I am posting another card that I am made from the card kits from the group on SCS that Heather organized.  I was showered with kits last month, in April and I am posting the cards in the past and upcoming two weeks. In this group, we do not post any wishes of what we want to receive--each person who sends the kit, makes it however they want.  I have received a variety of fun images and so many extras to make many more cards! 

I am making the cards in the order I received the kits. This is the 6th card, made from a kit sent by Alicia. This was a fun kit to play with!  I hope I did OK and that Ruby likes my card.
