Thanksgiving Week So Thankful non DT card on 26 Nov 2024

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: This is a non-design team commitment so a couple of current challenges were picked to drive the inspiration for this card and then linked to a few additional ones that assisted with organization and layout ideas. 

when: created on Nov 25th and published on November 26, 2024

what: So Thankful Mice card

notes:

1. sage/mint green cardstock base was cut to 4" wide x 6" high = Neenah

2. "country plaid" print paper = Recollections

3. strip cut from some french-wired ribbon (leaf print) = Crafter's Square

4. green cardstock scrap panel = Crafter's Square

5. white cardstock = Neenah

6. three stamp ink pads (Tangerine Tango/orange, Lemon-Lime Twist/yellow-green, and Rose Red) = SU

7. yellow cardstock scrap = old Pen + Gear

8. brown/bronze glitter waffle textured specialty paper cut to short banner = Crafter's Square

9. kraft cardstock scrap = Art Skills

10. three mice clip art image = free for personal usage = The Clipart Library website; printed on white copy paper; filled with a khaki brown and gray colored pencils

11. 'so thankful' stamp = old; I think it's either Studio G or Hampton Arts

starting inspiration/where: Once Upon A Time; Nov 2024; children's book Arthur's Thanksgiving; MY card is going to have 3 mice in lieu of Arthur character/creature with cheese wedge + some leaves, stamped 'so thankful' instead of 'thanksgiving'
