Welcome to the Remarkable InkBig Blog Hop for October 2017. This month our theme is GIVE THANKS!  You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – JOANNE CANTRELL or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

We are quickly, more quickly than I would.like to admit, approaching the season of thanksgiving here in America.  While.we should be thankful all year long, this is the time of year where thankful essential is in the air!  And I am thankful you stopped by!

Here are my offerings for you today!

Quick and easy…  1″ strips of that lovely acorn pattern from the Painted Harvest Designer Series Paper.  Add a little copper ribbon and you’ve got a card!

This is a simple vanilla and gold card.  After I embossed the pine  planks on the card front, I gently rubbed with my versa-mark pad  and embossed with gold powder. . Added some golf foil  leaves and a gold embossed sentiment and had a finished card in not time.

This one uses the little checked pattern paper for the color inspiration.  A few Cajun Craze maple leaves on Very Vanilla cardstock.   A couple circles. Some DSP.  A few leaves punched with the great Leaf punch.  That’s all it took to create this card!

Here is a simple Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede color combo bases on the square of DSP peeking through the window.  It really shines in this design!.  And , better yes this card actually used leftovers from the next card.

And my final card for you today…  A simple but elegant pumpkin.  After I cut the pumpkin and vines using the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits, I sponged the edges with Old Olive.  This step added texture and depth that wasn’t there before.  I pieced it back together and added it to the oval layers.  Tied a cute little bow from the burlap ribbon and I was done!

Well, that is all I have for you today!  Thank you for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many more amazing ideas and inspiration you don’t want to miss. Remember that currently you are at my blog – JOANNE CANTRELL, so check the blog hop line up list below to see who is next.

Thanks for stopping by.  Now hop along, little bunny!

Until next time… keep it simple, Stampers!
