Sale-A-Bration and Thankful Thursday

Hello Friends

I am on the upswing after a nasty stomach bug that left me feeling pretty weak.  Thankfully the illness was short-lived (literally a 12 hr bug) but the recuperation took a bit of time.  Now I am just hoping that my family didn't pick it up from me!  We do like to encourage sharing in our family - but this takes it a bit too far!  But since I am "thankful" that I am well again and since it is a Thankful Thursday.....

Thought I'd give you another quick Thank You installment on this fine morning.  So here goes:

Supply List (SAB products)
Stamps - Pretty Petites (w129639, c129642)
Paper - Whisper White (100730), Pool Party (122924), Island Indigo (122923)

Did you notice that this entire card was made with FREE Sale-A-Bration items?  Well, except for the paper and the adhesive I guess....but everything else -- FREE!!  If you want to get your own Sale-A-Bration products (FREE) then contact me and we'll make that happen!

You might be wondering about the pink-ish background to today's photo?  This, my friends, is something I cannot explain.   Same lighting, same camera, same background -- but today it is pink.  Oh well, no time to figure that one out.   I'd rather just be thankful I felt well enough to make (and post) a card.

Off to do all the other things I need to get done today.  So without further ado - I bid you, Adieu.
Have a wonderful day and God Bless,     ~Cynthia     <><

Sale-A-Bration - Pool Party Fashion!

Hello Friends

It is blistering cold in Ottawa today (minus 28 Celsius, with a wind chill that brings it to minus 40!!) so I had no desire to go outside except when I absolutely had to.  Instead, I stayed indoors and played with my FREE Sale-A-Bration products.  My focus on Pool Party was to make me think warm Caribbean, not frozen Arctic - and it must have done the job because I don't feel even the slightest bit of a chill!  

These cards were all CASEd from or inspired by cards I saw elsewhere in my cyber-travels.  I love the way the Sycamore Street Designer Paper combines vibrant colours and leads me to combine patterns and colours I wouldn't generally have thought of before.  I can't tell you how much I love this paper.  And the ribbons?  Luscious, luscious, luscious!  So glad that all three colours (Pool Party, Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango) come together because I wouldn't be able to decide on my own which to choose.  This way I don't have to.  And best of all -- they're FREE with any qualifying Sale-A-Bration purchase!

The Supply List and Materials are for all three cards since they use many of the same elements (largely free SAB products)
