Hello friends from around the world!  I am super excited to welcome you all back to the amazing blog hop brought to you by a very talented group of demonstrators that all achieved one of Stampin’ Up!’s greatest rewards….the earning of The Grand Vacation!

This month our theme is Giving Thanks.  Here in the United States, we are approaching our fall season.  With fall comes the celebration of Halloween and then Thanksgiving.  It is a time for us to reflect on all of the things we are grateful for.

Although I have used the same watercolored image for both of my projects, I wanted to give them different backgrounds.  After all, don’t we all live in different types of houses?  Some of us have wood siding, while others of us live in brick homes.  Luckily for me, Stampin’ Up! has some incredible products that allow me to show you both!

My first card is stamped with the Hardwood background stamp directly to the Crumb Cake card base.  Using some of our awesome new Holiday 2015 products, I created the window scene!  (All products used on this card are listed in the table below the project.

Here is the second of two projects.  This is my “brick” house!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I truly appreciate it!  I know that you are going to enjoy all of the other great projects on this hop!

………….. Until next time!
