Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. Hope the month of November is going well for you.
This month is special to me because it's when I celebrate my wedding anniversary. We were married 36 years on November 7. We went out for a special dinner and the restaurant toasted us with a glass of champagne.
We looked over our wedding album and talked about some of the special events that we remembered from that night. Interesting how things change over the years. Most of the friends who attended we don't really see anymore. Some have moved away, others were work friends and since we both retired, we don't see them any longer. Of course, our family will always be our family and nothing has changed there.
Now onto my card for today. This one I created for an event over on Splitcoaststampers. They have a special design team and once a year all the former team members host a challenge. For this challenge we were to create a shaped card. This alos works for the challenge on the Hand Stamped Sentiments Blog.
I had this Fancy Pumpkin die from the Stamps of Life. It's part of their fold-it collection. I have several of these type dies, and I just love them for making a shaped card. This one you can make it with or without the embossed panels.
I stamped my sentiment on a flag banner and added a ribbon to complete my card. I have several more Thanksgiving cards to make and I may just use this same design.
And that's it for me for this post. So, until next time......God bless.
