KLM Designs - Thanks

Only 2 days left until Thanksgiving. I am especially looking forward to this year's family gathering because I will be able to visit with some aunt's, uncle's and cousins that I haven't seen in ages. I hope all my US friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.


For my KLM Designs DT post this week, I thought I would make a "Thank You" card using the Birdhouse Globe image. This time of year I never seem to have enough thank you cards on hand.





Using some of the left over scraps, I also decorated the inside of the card. I like this paper too much to throw any of it out!





Don't forget that the Sentimental Sundays challenge this week is "Thoroughly Thankful ". Please stop by and enter your Thank You or Thanksgiving card in our challenge.

Thank you for stopping by!

  • Images: Birdhouse Globe by KLM Designs, Celebration by Close To My Heart, (inside sentiment) Gratitude Sentiments by Raindrop Echo Designs available on Whimsy Stamps
