Holiday - Thank You Card

Good Morning (and maybe Good Afternoon to many of you!)

I apologize for the delay in today's post.  My laptop crashed about 2 weeks ago and we were able to recover most of our data - documents and pictures.  Unfortunately I didn't get my calendar back and though I thought I had recreated most of it, there were some things I missed and this was one of them!

Luckily I had a project ready to go - just posting a little late.

For my holiday thank you card, I'm showing you a card I made for my friend's daughter who just loves monkeys.  We are going to get together with her mom and her sister to make thank you cards for their Christmas gifts.  This is the card sample for her to make her own:

Isn't he cute??  I think she'll love to make these to send out.  For details, please stop by my blog by clicking here.

What kind of thank you cards are you making this year?  Are you making any thank you cards at all?

Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Harvest Memories

Hello Everyone!

Don't you just love this time of year?  Today is a rainy overcast day here in Southern California and it has really gotten me in the mood for the holidays.  My card today celebrates Thanksgiving.  I just love making these kinds of cards because of the fall colors I get to use.

Here's my card:

Thanksgiving in the U.S.

Good Morning Everyone!

Today at Card-a-Day, we are celebrating Thanksgiving in the U.S.A.  Now I know that Thanksgiving isn't for another month but it's time to start getting your cards ready my friends.  It will be here before you know it.

Here's a card I made (well, I actually made 8 of them) for my mother-in-law.  She asked me to make her a set of Thanksgiving cards for her.  She had found a stamp set that she liked and asked me to design some cards around it. 

Here's my card:

For details on how I made this card and a picture of the entire set of the cards, stop on by my blog at Love 2 Create.

Are you making cards for Thanksgiving this year?

Thanks for stopping by!

Sretan Bojic!

Good Morning!

Our theme today is "Christmas Around the World".  I chose a country close to my heart  -  "Croatia".  Why you ask?  Well that's where my family comes from!

Christmas Day is traditionally spent with family or at church.  Traditionally, Croatians also decorate wreaths and trees and they use hand-decorated cookies to do it!

So for my card I used the colors of the Croatian flag - red, white, and blue and then added some "hand-decorated" cookies to the bottom of the card.  The sentiment (and title of this blog post) is "Sretan Bojic" which means "Merry Christmas".  Here's a picture of my card:

Thanks so much for stopping by - don't forget to stop by tomorrow for another fantastic creation.  Can't wait to see what you are making for the holidays!

Canadian Thanksgiving

Hello!  I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member of this wonderful crafty group of ladies.  My first project for this group is a card to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving.

Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October to give thanks to the close of the harvest season.  They have been celebrating this holiday since 1957, when the Canadian Parliament proclaimed:

"A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October."

If you would like to learn a little more about Canadian Thanksgiving, click on this link here.

My in-laws are actually from Canada so it was interesting to learn a little about this  holiday from their country.

Here are two cards I made in celebration of this holiday:

If you would like to learn more about how I made these cards, you can check out my post on my blog Love 2 Create.

I'm really looking forward to being a part of this crafty team of ladies.  

Have a wonderfully crafty day!
