Yes, I live in the United States and yes, I do know that Thanksgiving is in November - most definitely not in July.
But my brother and his family have a girl from China visiting them for two weeks to experience America. They have taken her to the mountains and waterparks and so much more. They thought that having a full Thanksgiving dinner would be a great experience. Thankfully, they invited my family!!!
It occurred to me that I should take a card for this girl to welcome her and say hello...

ReplyDeleteThose are two of my favorite challenges and you rocked them both! I just bought some washi tape...but I only bought two patterns...DUH. Shoulda bought another!!! I think Thanksgiving in July sounds wonderful! Beautiful card!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for your friend's visitor! And any excuse for turkey and stuffing sounds good to me! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colours on your card and that gorgeous washi tape!
Absolutely fantastic idea to have the girl experience a full-on Thanksgiving meal. You'll have to let us know how it felt: weird?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's delish even in July, makes me drool! So does your card! So lovely.
AND thanks for the tip on the challenges list. I'm feeling like doing some new ones, too, so I really appreciate it!
Bright and cheery all the way! Love the mix of patterns and colors. You rocked the challenges...and also made me want some washi tape! (Enabler alert with that link, by-the-way! Eeeek!) Lol! :)

ReplyDeleteHow smart to show her what Thanksgiving is like here. This card is simply beautiful and very thoughtful of you. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to have Thanksgiving for your guest! I can't imagine a better way to introduce someone to "the way we are" :) Love your take on the sketch and washi challenge. So glad you discovered Catered Crop!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, and no I don't find it strange to have a holiday on a date that is not the actual holiday, especially with everyones busy schedules these days.
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job on the sketch this week at TST and you have also introduced me to Feline Playful. Thanks.
Thanks also for finding the time to play along with us at Try Stampin on Tuesday.
PS: Don't eat too much turkey!

This is absolutely gorgeous! LOVE the butterflies and your little twine bow! And the washi tape patterns are so amazing! Thanks for joining us at TSOT! :)
ReplyDeleteThis card is AMAZING! Fantastic use of white space, the butterflies are just perfectly placed and using washi tape is brilliant! I am so glad you could join us this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color! I do not often use yellow but it is so cheerful on your card! Love the combination of washi tape you used!

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card! Love the colour and your use of the tape is a cool idea. Thanks for playing at Try Stampin'.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the washi tape on this card! Great design...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win Kim. Hope your Thanksgiving went well!
ReplyDeleteThis is FABULOUS Kim! Great placement of all the butterflies and the colors are gorgeous! Love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe color in your card is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteDelicious card Kim, and huge CONGRATS for your Catered Crop win too :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love Washi Tape! This is a beautiful CAS Kim. Using your designer paper in the background and repeating the color on the white panel actually pops that white even more. The little bit of sparkle is just prefect. Always a joy to see what you're creating.
