#87 Sept 7 - Grateful / Thankful

 #87 So it's my turn to hostess again!
  I want to know "who or what are you Grateful for?"
Even though my hubby was diagnosed with cancer and we were terrified 
-and especially since I lost my mom and 6 other family member to #$^(%_*  Cancer-
 I am grateful he agreed to do everything he could to FIGHT it
 and I am grateful that he kept his sense of humour.  
He said "you're not getting rid of me that easily!"


Welcome September's Guest Designer: Kim Klinkovsky
Hi! I am Kim Klinkovsky, wife of an honorably discharged disabled US Army Veteran for 20 yrs and mother of four great kids (including a set of twins).  We live in colorful Colorado, where the beauty of the great Rocky Mountains amazes us everyday. I have been crafty all my life and I love making cards and documenting our lives, trips, and special moments through scrapbooking. I've been super lucky to have been published in several magazines this year and love to share craft deals, recipes, and card ideas and tutorials with you all too. Read more about me and my crafty adventures on my website at: www.mykrafkloset.weebly.com

Today, I am so excited and honored to be a guest designer for The Paper Girls Challenge Blog.

I am grateful for Fall, family, and fun together. It’s my most favorite time of the year when the leaves change colors, there’s a chill in the air, and pumpkin flavors everywhere.  So, I was inspired to make this card really shimmer with the golden color of the season and love that this stamp by Stampendous lists all the fun things we like to do in the Fall. I used Versamark clear ink to stamp the text background and sprinkled with Ranger super fine gold metallic embossing powder. Then added gold tinsel ribbon for some texture and more shimmer.  And used a Krylon paint pen to change the clear adhesive gems to gold.



Here are some other DT interpretations:

I see that you will accept projects that are slightly older than your challenge date. My big set of "So Grateful" cards (from last week) thanking some of the many people who helped our community during our terrible wildfires seemed perfect for your challenge theme. I hope it is not too old. Thanks so much!!!
