Thankful for you

Hi friends!  I miss you!  I feel like I haven't been by the blog in a loooong time and I miss having my usual stamping time.  And to top it off, I've run out of adhesive - GASP!!!  So what do you do when you have no adhesive?  You make a single layer card with a little cheat of dimensional tape, that's what!  I started by stamping the stems from Friendship Blooms in Olive Pastel Fluid Chalk Ink and then added a Nestabilities Labels 15 frame centered around the stems. The blooms are stamped in Warm Red & Tangerine and cut out with the Friendship Blooms Dies - the polka-dot centers are stamped in Deep Lagoon and popped up with dimensional tape as well.

I think Santa needs to put some adhesive in my stocking this year - although, I'd have to tell Santa where to buy it and bring his 40% off coupon and the like, so maybe I'll just treat myself instead.  LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!
