One Thing Card -- Inspired by Camp Scrap

This past summer I took an online course-Camp Scrap-from Big Picture Classes. 

I didn't really do much with it, felt a bit overwhelmed by all the great content. 

Luckily these courses are kept on their website indefinitely so they can be used over the months and years, so yesterday I made this card:

The main idea is to pick one thing-a tag, a die-cut, etc. and build a card around that. I was inspired by a card May Flaum made that she stamped in black ink and then inked over with Distress Ink in old paper and tea dye. I used this gears stamp. I seem to use this stamp over and over!

I looked at my Cricut cartridges to see what cards I could cut with it and ran across a great card message that matched the style of my stamp. 

I added some washi tape in a wheel track print and some metal card candy and called it done.



I had also decided to make the
card smaller - 4x5 1/2 inches- 
than I usually would make so it 
fits inside this great little tote I got from the dollar shop
I intend to make a set of cards 
for a Christmas gift for someone.

Happy Thanksgiving! Fall Wreath.

I have a pre-made twig wreath and a box of fall-themed ornaments sitting in my closet, they have been there a good year or more. Out they come!

 I am home with a cold and not making turkey this year, I'm thinking there is Swiss Chalet in our future.

Anyways I'm thinking I'll make up a wreath, and maybe bung on some Halloween stuff from my stash nearer the end of the month!
