STAMPlorations is hosting its annual Giving Thanks blog hop and featuring 38 designers - 15 of whom have been sponsored by STAMPlorations in the past year.
Prior to showing off my card, I'm going to get a little misty eyed and talk about Shery Russ, the owner of STAMPlorations. When we talk about things (or in this case people) to be thankful for, Shery tops the list. She was the one who gave me my first ever design team assignment from an official company. She's given me the opportunity to design stamps (a dream I never even knew I had until she asked) and she's sponsored causes that are so important to me (The Hop to Stop Domestic Violence).
I'm also SOOOO thankful for my STAMPteamies, who are constantly inspiring me with their creativity, uplifting me with their comments, and being all-around badass people. (pardon my French).
Ok - I know you've got some hopping to do, so that's my reverie.
Now here's my card.
I made this sweet shaker using the brand new Be Thankful Bundle (stamps and coordinating die cuts).
I watercolored my apple basket and turned the card into an adorable little shaker with some fall leaves and shimmery sequins.
I'm going to link this card to the Dragonfly Dreams Autumnal Colors challenge and Fashionable Stamping Autumn or Winter challenge.
I love the brand new bundle sets being released for this hop. Each bundle includes a stencil, die cut, and harvesty stamp set.
And just because Shery is thankful for YOU, her customers, she's giving you all a 35% off discount in the STAMPstore.
Go wild and get to shopping!!
But before that - get to hopping and/or link up to the linky party below- because for all the hoppers and linkers there are
>>>9 BIG PRIZES<<<
up for grabs.
Fun! Thanks for sharing Becca. :)
