Grateful for You ( More Giveaways!)

Dear friends!
As Christmas is near and 2018 is coming to an end, I want to take this chance to thank you.
I am grateful that you check out my incessant blog posts and sale promotions.
If I have inspired or enabled you, I am thrilled.
If my posts make you smile, I am happy.
If my posts make a small difference in your daily life, I am honored.

I would not be here without your faithful support and positive feedback.
Today's card conveys this sentiment exactly.

 This card is a mesh-up with all my leftovers in the last few months.
grateful for you

I had stamped the Botanical YOU a long while ago along with the Rustic Linen.
Lucky for me ... The Butterfly Acetate Die Cut (embellishment) matched the stamping really nicely!

Not sure if you noticed, but I also did use Cozy Flannel Cover Die.
It seemed wasteful to use the entire cover die like this. So, I actually cut out a small piece in the middle of the Flannel Cover Die and will use it for other time.
 No one will notice! Shhhh.....

As always, I will announce the two Altenew Monthly winner of $15 Gift Certificate on the last day of the month. To jazz up the excitement of my monthly giveaway, I am adding a $15 Scrapbook.com Gift Card as well. THREE lucky WINNERS will be announced on Dec. 31st! 
Please leave me a comment for an extra chance to win!

YES, VIRGINIA... THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS....

It's always a delight to see how your creative mind works, Virginia! I loved your saving the middle of the Cozy Flannel panel for another project. Merry Christmas!

Virginia, your post is a high light of my day. For a long time you have inspired me to try more techniques and purchase items too! Mostly, it has been such fun for me to challenge myself and to attempt to 'copy' a card you've created using whatever I have. I thank you for allowing me to follow your journey whether its an artistic one or a travel one....I have enjoyed all your posts!

What a beautiful card and very cool that you made it from leftover pieces from other projects. I love the tip about saving the middle of the cover die, I had never thought of that lol. You inspire me in some way with every post you make so I am grateful for you too! Thanks for all the inspiration, fun, and generosity with giveaways and your time. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
