Happy Thanksgiving !!

in bigshot, Canada, Canadian Demonstrator, Card Class, Cards, Christmas, christmas card, Fall treats, Halloween, joyful season, Kim Assaly, looking for a demonstrator in Canada, Ontario demonstrator, Stampin' Up! on 10/12/15

I hope you are enjoying this perfect long weekend weather.  It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada.  Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Canadians.  I am so grateful for so many things.  We had a perfect family weekend.  Lots of laughs….   I'll have to share a couple of pictures with you.  My girls are the best.  As they get older,  I think we are getting closer.  I surely hope it remains this way… We have had a busy weekend soaking in this gorgeous weather.  Fall is my favorite season. 

This is certainly a scrapbooking pic.   I have so many that it will have to be used for my project life album.

Although my focus is not on Fall today, You can still take in some tips and techniques from my holiday card. 

Tip of the Day:

If you fold  in and out the doilie with your stampin' trimmer with the scoring blade,  it will create an edge to it making it pop out and adding a vintage look to your card.

The home for Christmas Enamel Dots #140536 are pretty cute too! 

I love that Stampin up! has different greetings that you can create with your bigshot.  The thinlits are so fun and easy to use with the magnetic platform.  For this card I used the word "Merry" from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies #139659.  These are also available for my french stampers!!:)) 
The current catalogue and Holiday Catalogue have a couple of options for wording and greetings.  It adds a nice touch to your projects. Check out these cute thinlits for different options:  Greetings Thinlits #138275, Hello You Thinlits #137363

I also wanted to thank the stampers that have ordered the paper pumpkin kits before October 10th. You will receive your next paper pumpkin in a pink box and a little something from me in the mail.  Thank you for donating to the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Shop HERE for the products to create a version of this project.  See the list of products below.

Enjoy your evening, Hugs xox

DIY Bag Project! Making DIY bags with @stampinupof DIY Bag Project! Making DIY bags with @stampinupofficial ‘s Party Banner Dies + Make a Memory Scrapbooking Kit! Which one do you like best? Number 1 or Number 2?

This little bag is the perfect mix of cute and creative.  Just look at what you can do with a few dies, some patterned paper and a bit of imagination. It’s so easy to make, and it’s great for treats and gift cards.
