Happy Monday!
Wow! Can you believe Thanksgiving is just a few days away and after that a fast zoom to Christmas? Our Thanksgiving will be a bit different this year. My husband works on Thanksgiving day so we will have our feast when he gets off. Our feast itself will be a bit different to meet the new dietary needs of a couple of family members but I am thankful that we are all healthy and our kids haven't left the nest yet!!!
As I said last week, I don't make many Thanksgiving cards so I don't have one to share with you today but I put my heart into Christmas cards so I am showcasing this wonderful sentiment from
Dr. Seuss today.
How the "Grinch Stole Christmas" is my favorite animated Christmas show. There's just something about those "Who's down in Whoville" that don't allow the absence of things to dictate their joy.

I had a blast playing with the Poinsettia die and stamp for this card. For my bits of "greenery" I cut the Pine Branch in pieces and placed the fronds behind the Poinsettias. .
I hope you will hop on over to the PPRS blog to see all the beauty the DT have to share today!
Ingredients:
GG0095 It Came Without Ribbons, DD031 Poinsettia Leaf Die, D040 Pine Branch Die, CLR031A Poinsettia 2 Holiday Clear Stamp.
I am also playing along with CAS300 at SCS and this week our challenge is to add winter wildlife to our cards.
Here in Georgia the wild life we see most from our Bay window are Cardinal families! The vivid red of the male cardinals add a fabulous splash of color to a gray winter day.
Ingredients:
Stamps: Prickley Pear Rubber Stamp - CLR027B Scalloped Oval 3 Winter, CLR014 The Four Seasons Clear stamp,
Dies: PPRS D014 Four Seasons Tree Die, D049 Tree 2 Die
TFL!
