Well, it’s new release time at Verve and we’re topping off our Thankful Hearts Blog Party with a blog hop featuring three new sets that just released, all focused on thankfulness. If you’ve been hopping and arrived from Jackies’ blog, then you’re right where you should be. If you’ve just happened by, then you’ll want to hop on over to Poetic Artistry to start from the beginning! And to make this hop even sweeter, we’ve got a special treat hidden along the way for one lucky commenter. So if you see something that makes you smile, be sure to give a little shout-out in the comments for a chance to win our entire release! 
Anyway, for my card here, I thought it would be only fitting the day after Thanksgiving, to use a few little "leftovers" from previous projects! The tree was an extra from my Verve Project Parade Christmas box. The little black frame was also from that project after I cut it with my Slice machine only to figure out it was smaller than I had wanted it to be. I used the little sentiment from the set coming out tonight, Thankful Hearts and matched it up with my new Fleur de Lis Cuttlebug folder and some more scraps from my desk and then finished it up with some cream organdy and heated it up (just like leftovers!) to give it a little crinkle!Thanks for hopping by! Next up on the hop is… LYNDA! Have fun!
SUSIE Q-TIP: I think I've said this one before, but it never hurts to hear it again. Re-purpose your leftovers. If you've cut something from your die cutting machine, stamped something that didn't fit with your original plan, or punched something that wasn't the right color, just push it to the side in a little pile within eyesight, and try to reuse them for another project soonafter.
Stamps: Heartfelt Thanks (Verve)
Paper: Basic Black (SU!), Vintage Cream, Ripe Avacado (PTI), Mistletoe (MM)
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black (Tsukineko), Chocolate Chip (SU!)
Accessories: Slice Machine/Noteworthy Card, Diamond Dust, Cream Organdy Ribbon, Heat Tool, Fleur de Lis Embossing Folder, Cuttlebug, Threading Water Punch (Fiskars), Jody Boosters
