So Grateful

It's "Inspired By" Week at Time Out Challenges #326. Just in time for Thanksgiving in the US, we are looking for projects that are inspired by GRATITUDE. Gratitude changes how we look at the world. It is the mental act of zooming in on a tiny, beautiful detail that others might walk right past, or zooming out to see the bigger picture during a tough time.

Our wonderful sponsor, Poppystamps, is generously offering a $20.00 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Stef Perry of Perry Papercrafts, and winner of Time Out #321 as Guest Designer. She is a frequent player at Time Out. Stef is an incredibly talented crafter with a keen eye for design and color, and her coloring skills are stellar. 

What I used to make my card:

• Spellbinders Everyday Windows, Curtains and Flower Boxes dies
• Concord & 9th Window Shoppe Pop-Up dies
• Sizzix Christmas Minis dies
• Pink Fresh Studio Built on Dreams stamp set
• Red glimmer card stock
• Red glitter card stock
• Altenew Obsidian black ink pad

After a long time choosing colors, then lots of die cutting, I assembled the windows, curtains, wreaths and bows. I fussy cut my own snow and after stamping the sentiment, used my paper cutter to cut around it, rounding the corners by hand.

We hope you will play along and maybe you will end up with a card for a hostess on Thanksgiving!

Thanks for stopping by!
