Thanksgiving Blessings

Do you believe that Thanksgiving (in the States) is only 4 days away? Of course I have a ton of things to do before the day and am working every day up to Thanksgiving! Wednesday won't find me home before 9 PM then I need to bake an apple and a pumpkin pie, make fruit salad and put together the stuffing for the turkey. I guess I will have to crack open a bottle of wine to "help me stay awake"! lol! I digress though so
on to my card...





I made this card using a colored image from Doodle Pantry called Barn. I double stitched around the image onto some grayish blue card stock. This was then placed onto 2 more layers of paper. A pretty design paper was added to my base card along with a piece of gro-grain ribbon. Three buttons that were tied with embroidery floss were added to the ribbon. My image and papers were added to that. Finished! Phew! Here is a close up of the barn...



I love how it turned out and it is in the mail on it's way to my big sis in Florida. This image is so pretty and comes in a few different colors along with a lined image. I can see it being used for many different occasions in my future. Check this set out along with all of the other new sets at Doodle Pantry.
